How to spend time on a long trip?

We interviewed people around the camp area about what to do on long trips. We got many answers but listening to music was the most popular one. Ina and Mickos love to listen to music and sing with other people. The second place went for sleeping. If you are on a bus/train/plane/etc. it’s not bad if you sleep for a while. The time will fly while you rest your brain. If you are going on a trip, bring your playing cards.

“Be social! Talk to new people.” says Pia from Norway. 

It’s true – it’s nicer to travel with company even if you haven’t seen them before. Carl likes to share his food. What an awesome icebreaker! Give someone some juice and make friends. #inspirational

If you don’t feel like talking to people, watch a movie.

Eirik taught us a game, which he played on the bus. It’s simple – when you see an animal, you shout its name. You can’t say same animal twice, and you don’t count fish or birds. You can also change the rules to suit your purposes better. We think this was a genius idea.

Simon told us about this book/game/cards named Black Stories. We have never heard of it but he said it is great. What we understood was that it has a murder mystery in every story and you can find out how the person died with the cards. You can find more about this book by Googling.

If you had to choose someone to sit next to on a long trip you should totally choose Fredrik. He says he hugs everyone on trips. Who doesn’t like hugs? (And he is an amazing hugger). Lars says that you should eat. Everything.

We hope these advices are useful to you. Have a nice trip!
