Fun Questions For Road Trips - Tips for happy family

Nothing can beat the excitement and adventure of a road trip, particularly if you have friends and family to keep you company.

But, no matter how picturesque the road or how amazing the weather, at one point, people run out of conversations. And, that’s when the journey goes from being fun to being arduous!

Also, silence can be dangerous on a road trip

The worst part is that the silence coupled with the constant zooming of milestones or even light poles lulls most passengers to sleep.

Unfortunately, a car packed with snoozing loved ones and the monotony of the silent journey can quickly turn into a soporific trap for most motorists. And we all know what happens when the driver dozes off behind the wheel.

Also, who wants to be a part of a boring road trip?

Even if everybody is wide awake, the silence can be both boring and awkward; not to mention what’s the point of going on a road trip if you are not going to chat away like there is no tomorrow.

Another thing to consider is that a road trip provides the perfect opportunity for conversation, which may not otherwise be available due to the hectic and uncoordinated schedules of all family members.

This brings us right back to our original problem:

What do you do once you run out of topics to talk about? And,
How do you get everybody involved in the conversation?

The answer to those questions lies in “questions” of course! Actually, that’s – Road trip conversation questions.

But, if you have trouble thinking up questions on the spot, fret, not!

For what I have here for you is the mother load of road trip questions for people of all ages and for all conversation types.

Keep this list handy and I promise you will never want for quality conversations while in the car.

Road Trip Questions For Couples: The Last Question Will Be “Are We There Already?”

Well folks, it goes without saying that these questions are meant to bring out your risqué side. So, leave these for when you are travelling as a two-some.

Also, these questions are meant to take you back to your flirty days and to infuse a renewed sense of excitement in your present day intimate life.

Hence, the answers are cues to learn about what your partner wants and certainly not meant to offend you. If you are easily slighted or not open to improvement/change, then these may not work for you.

Having said that, no matter how young/old your relationship, every couple can use a few embers of passion to bring back the flames into the bedroom, and these road trip questions will do just that. So, here they are for you…

What are your top 3 fantasies that you’d like fulfilled?
Where on your body would you like me to touch you more?
What do you think about intimate toys and which ones would you like to try out?
Have you recently watched or read something that turned you on? If yes, tell me what it was all about?
How do we turn up the adventure in our intimate lives?
What can I do outside the bedroom that will help us to enhance intimacy?

Just A Few Things That You Need To Remember!

Regardless of the questions that you choose, all of them are meant to spur fun and quality conversations.

If you see that your attempts at a conversation are not yielding the desired effects or if your questions are bringing back monosyllabic answers from one particular person, it would be best to respect this individual’s wish to be left alone with his/her thoughts.

That said, try not to turn these into an interrogation. So, if it is a journey that is going to take a few hours, alternate the Q n A sessions with other fun games to keep things exciting.

Finally, as much as a good conversation is needed to turn a monotonous journey into a fun and memorable trip, make sure that the banter does not distract the driver.

In fact, I strongly suggest that you stop the chitchat the second you hit a rough patch on the road or when the person driving needs to focus on the road completely because of tricky bends and turns or traffic problems.
