Plan a road trip date idea illustration

A road trip can be the perfect way to spend quality time with your partner while working in some romantic moments. The two of you will have hours of alone time and privacy to explore your relationship (and bodies!) at your own pace.

Preparation steps:

  • The point of a road trip is not to plan it too much - go where the road takes you. You should have some plans though to prevent disaster.
  • Before hitting the road, make sure that your car and GPS is in good condition. It’s never fun to get stranded.
  • Stock up on snacks and drinks for the road. Choose food that you can feed your partner so you can keep the romance levels high. Have your water and energy drinks in a cooler that is easily accessible.
  • Pack blankets, pillows and anything else you’ll need on a long trip. You never know what could happen along the way.

Some tips:

  • Make a playlist of your favourite music and add some love songs in to set the mood for the trip.
  • Pack a picnic basket with food that won’t spoil and some wine. You can stop on a romantic spot and have a wonderful time with your partner. If the environment allows it, you could end up making love as the sun sets or under a starry sky.
  • Book reservations in hotels that will give you privacy. Take this chance to live out the fantasy of a hook up in a hotel room.
  • Take in the sights as you travel. You’re sure to find many romantic spots where you can take amazing photos and selfies with your lover.
