SOLO ROAD TRIP TIPS (MY TOP 20)

I am giving you my top 20 tips on what to do, bring, and prepare for a solo (or not) road trip! I love solo road trips so I thought I'd share my tips so that you can also go and have fun while being prepared and safe! :-)
It's really helpful to go on a solo road trip prepared. Make sure your car is safe, you have fun things to do, you know where you're going and you aren't forgetting anything! If you're traveling a long distance you want to make sure your car is in good condition and that your tires, oil, windshields, battery and everything else is up to speed. There are helpful things to bring on your trip as well. You might need a towel or a flashlight. It doesn't hurt to have extra water or blankets.
Solo traveling or road tripping should be something anyone can do. I am trying to make it accessible for everyone. Make sure to stretch and stop often if you're tired and also let someone know where you are throughout your trip so that someone will be concerned if they haven't heard from you in a while. You can travel in a small car, a hatchback, or large vehicle like a truck or van. It doesn't matter, just hit the road and go explore! Maybe try sleeping in your car to save money!

I'm heading out on my first solo cross-country road trip in two weeks. These tips were super helpful!

[@LinaFlows]

Aw I hope you have an AMAZING time!!

One: For non-mechanically minded folks, most mechanics shops will give your car a quick once over for free or for a very small charge. Two: official state trooper advice about sleepiness.... get off the road, consume some caffeine and then take a nap. Caffeine and nap combined is better than one of those alone. Rest areas are for resting... having a quick nap in your car at a rest stop is usually ok. I drive I-81 during the day and never had problems with safety or with state troopers waking me up and telling me to move along. But I only have experience with daytime travel. It is probably different after dark. This year will be my 6th solo road trip from North Carolina to Boston, and I can attest, these are all very good tips. Thanks for making such an awesome video.

[@jbaby007]

This was hilarious but helpful lol

[@tara.c837]

Thankyou for this video! I'm in Australia and planning to go for a Great ocean road trip which is about 8hrs from me, staying in different campgrounds by myself is going to be a bit scary. I've always camped with my best friend but I'm in realisation that people change and sometimes not for the better.. I've decided to battle it out on my own as its a dream of mine, I'M SCARED, I have quite an old car too.. I may come back to this comment one day to update 😋 wish me luck 🤞

[@Eternal-echelon]

I still am very anxious and yet very excited. I am planning on my First Road Trip all by myself!. I am someone who has anxiety and ADHD, and just gov my licenses. Where I am planning on to is 4 hours away from me, which isn’t much but still enough to make me nervous and sorta scared to do all on my own. 🥺

[@LinaFlows]

Stay safe and enjoy yourself! You'll be okay! Just have fun! you can make this trip a trip to ease your anxiety♡

[@Eternal-echelon]

@@LinaFlows Thank you so much! I am definitely taking notes from your video to help me ease myself! And staying committed into doing it! 💛💛

[@LinaFlows]

@@Eternal-echelon yay! Im super stoked for you! Thanks for watching my video :-)

[@vanessa3898]

How was your trip? I also have anxiety and will be making a 24+ hour drive next month.

[@mutongoria]

Did youmake it? :) My general advise is always have a good rest and start early. Think about it like instead of being at your job, you are enjoying a trip.

[@PowerstrokeSynd]

Great tips!

[@LinaFlows]

Thank you!!! :-)

[@jamiereid40]

Down load maps for each day (Google or other map services) Also have paper maps for each state

[@adier1234]

I’d say another tip is to download gas apps so you can get discounts

[@yoookimbo]

Moving to another state with my car & im scared that I would be in a middle of no where but thank u ! :D

[@Tobi-dq8hu]

[@amicussantana2296]

Historical fiction audiobook that connects the road or area you’re visiting

[@LinaFlows]

I love that!!!!

[@DaHoodScientist]

its the data-backed tips for me ( @ 7:30). For the car tire one, its also a good idea to lose and then tighten the lug nuts to correct specs. Nothing sucks more than needing to change a wheel and finding out your lug nut is stripped or worn! DX

[@LinaFlows]

Ayye good POINT!! 😁😁😊

[@LinaFlows]

Thank you 🥰

[@brownbuter]

an oscar awwwward ..great performance on @ 4:33

[@LinaFlows]

Hahhahaa aw thanks!!

[@claitn9858]

making my 13 hour drive home from college for christmas break tomorrow, its my first time driving over 3 hours and kinda nervous about how it will go

[@icebaguette5618]

Howd it go? I’m taking my first 13 hour road trip soon! Lol

[@FlowJunkie65]

Hi, Lina. First time visitor here. Thank you for these tips - all good ones! BTW, what do you call those plastic shields above your door windows? I've heard that those really come in handy when you want a cross breeze coming through your car, but also want to protect your car from rain water entering it. Thanks!

[@joelavigne7175]

Rain guards

[@snhiggins1]

Im going on a trip and would love to meet ppl along the way!!! Hmu if you're adventurous and would be down to show around your town or city 😊

[@angelicalawrence2932]

I refuse to use fix a flat. My car has TPMS and that stuff destroys the sensor, increasing the repair cost later on.

[@diplomacy2000]

too bad you don't live on the east coast. it looks like you'd be a great road trip partner

[@sleelakrishnan]

See You Guys Back To Back Always Safety First 😷

[@LinaFlows]

Safety is definitely priority! :-)

[@geek4001]

Whats the longest you travelled solo? In miles or km?

[@WisdomWithin999]

1,390 mi 😁

[@anakinyork5249]

Where you nervous for the first time going??

[@yihengli4008]

Is going on a solo road trip in a coupe with exhaust and coilovers bad idea? stop me if it is, cuz I am going soon.
