Road Trip Discussion Topics
Road Trip Discussion Topics
The open road lends itself to deep(er) conversation. Take advantage of it.
I have a buddy who schedules road trips with people mostly so he can have a genuine conversation with them. Of course, they could do so in a restaurant or coffee shop, but something about the open road seems to open people up.
Maybe it’s because everyone is facing forward — staring at the road. Or maybe it’s because a person isn’t home, in his or her routine, and that leads to a sense of freedom.
Before I went on a road trip last year, I made a list of discussion topics a friend and I could kick around. And we actually used a few of them. I thought it might be fun to share the list with you. If you end up using any of them to get closer to someone, I’d love to hear about it.
