55 Road Trip Questions to Ask Your Partner During Long Drives

This post may contain affiliate links. See our affiliate disclaimer here.

Heath and I have been road tripping together for over a decade now. That’s a lot of chatting during long drives, traffic stops, and construction zones. Sometimes it feels like we know everything about each other.

Which is when we pull out our fun list of questions to ask each other to keep the drives entertaining. We’ve learned so many things about each other we wouldn’t otherwise know!

Like Heath didn’t know that if I won the lottery, I would charter a yacht to take us and all our favorite people cruising through the rivers in Europe. (But also, does he even KNOW me?! Of course, that’s what I would do!)

This list was inspired by many other lists of creative questions by people like Justin Mares, Noah Kagan, Ramit Sethi, & fellow RVer, Lindsey Nubern.

Skip around and ask your favorites. Mine are 2, 10, 30, 35, 45, & 48! I also have some very serious thoughts on #31 that no one needs to know.
