One of my favorite things to do when I’m on break from school is to go on a road trip to somewhere typically not too far. I live in New York, so short drives to places like Montreal or Chesapeake Bay are some of my favorite destinations to go to. There is an unexplainable comfort that comes along with riding a car along a stretched highway. Although I love traveling to other countries and other far away areas, airplane and train rides are too uncomfortable for me. I assume it’s because I’m stuck in an enclosed space with strangers for a reasonably long time. However, in the car, I’m with my family, and we can do generally anything we want without being bothered. We call the shots on where to eat, or when to stop for snacks. We can blast any music we want to play and play road games as loud as possible. Additionally, I also get extra leg space in the car, making the experience far more comfortable than any train or airplane seat.
comfort is a subjective thing

Road trips in the US are amazing, I am from the UK and we just don’t have the roads and diverse scenery that you guys have in the US, I did a trip from the east coast to west coast, it was an amazing trip, I will never forget this trip until I die, I just can’t explain in words the joy I had. If you ever get a chance to do it, JUST DO IT! you will thank me.
I get claustrophobic when I am trapped in a car for more than 2 hrs, I wish I could stay longer as I do enjoy looking at all the stuff through my windows on the highways..
Travelling on a bike is also not bad, the wind hitting your face on the free road is quite thrilling..
