Road trips are a fun and exciting event to brainstorm, plan for, do all the bookings for… and then comes departure day… and? Was the idea better than the actual activity? Maybe the dopamine highs from the hype of the event lead to a bit of an anti-climax?

Road Trip Activities for Couples

How do you make couple road trips fun?

Look, it’s no small feat to be in a confined space with another person. Give yourselves some credit. And beyond the playlists and the where-shall-we-eats, there should be enough common ground to celebrate between those alternating sleeps too. But if not, fear not.

We know what it’s like to be a new(ish) couple and go through the hoops of planning a road trip; and even for those long-standing relationships too. There’s always ways to refresh your memories or find new inroads to chat about. That’s why — to us — we think conversation starters make for the best road trip games for couples. And even if you don’t need to fill any silences, fun Q&A road trip games for couples can keep the mood light and breezy, and before you know it, your “are we there yet” question will be answered with: “yes!”
