What Do You Call a Road Trip Friend?

By Michael Ferguson

Are you planning to hit the road this summer? If yes, then you might be wondering what to call your trusty travel companion.

Well, look no further because we’ve got you covered. Here are some ideas for what to call your road trip friend.

1. Co-pilot

Your road trip buddy is not just someone who sits beside you in the car, but also someone who helps with navigation, makes pit stops, and keeps an eye on the map. This makes them your co-pilot.

2. Navigator

If your friend is particularly good at reading maps or using GPS technology, then they might prefer being called a navigator instead of a co-pilot.

3. Wingman/Woman

In popular culture, a wingman/woman is someone who helps their friend find potential romantic partners. However, on a road trip, this term can be used to describe someone who helps you navigate tricky situations and make new friends along the way.

4. Adventure Buddy

A road trip is all about adventure and exploration. If your friend shares the same enthusiasm for discovering new places and trying out new things as you do, then consider calling them your adventure buddy.

5. Partner-in-Crime

This term might sound a bit ominous at first but it’s usually used to describe a close friend or accomplice who is always up for some mischief and fun.

  • Bonus:
    • If you’re traveling with a furry friend (pet), then consider calling them your co-adventurer or fur-baby.
    • If you’re traveling with family members, then terms like travel partner or navigator-in-law can work as well.

Conclusion:

In the end, it doesn’t matter what you call your road trip friend as long as you both have a great time exploring new places and making memories together. So, pack your bags, buckle up, and hit the open road with your trusty travel companion. Happy travels!
