But don’t make it too loose.

Give yourself a destination, along with en route stops and give yourself a  date to arrive, but don’t stress over it too much.

When you’re on the road for a long time detours happen, sometimes because things go wrong, sometimes because things go right and you find yourself on an unexpected adventure for a couple of days.

Keep on track but don’t get bogged down in a plan you have to stick to. You’re on a road trip, it’s the time to be spontaneous!
