Traveling is always fun when you bring your friends along. You can chat, joke and play games together. But it's not always possible to be traveling with someone. Sometimes, you're all alone on a long journey. Luckily, there are many ways to entertain yourself. Depending on your interests, you can bring along books, music, movies, or even play online games to help pass the time. Here are some of the best things you can do when traveling.
Listening to Music or Podcasts
Music is another great way to keep yourself entertained while traveling. You can either listen to music offline on your phone or stream it online. If you prefer podcasts, there are many great ones out there that will keep you entertained for hours. You can find podcasts on any topic nowadays, from true crime to comedy.

Playing Games
Whether you’re a fan of card games, video games, or online casino games, playing games is a great way to pass the time on a long journey. Even if you're traveling abroad and don't have an internet connection, there are plenty of offline games to be enjoyed. Just make sure to bring along a power bank so your devices don't run out of battery.
Reading or Listening to Audiobooks
Reading is a great way to pass the time, particularly if you’re traveling solo. You can bring along your favorite book, or even several books if you’re planning on being on the road for a while. These days people prefer to read from an iPad or Kindle, which is even more practical. If you're driving a car, you obviously won't be able to read, but you can still listen to audiobooks. This is a great way to "read" while you're on the go.
Watching Movies or TV Shows
If you enjoy watching movies or TV shows (and who doesn't), then you can easily pass the time with this activity. You can either download your favorite shows and movies onto your phone or stream them online if you're traveling within the country. Now's the chance to rewatch your favorite movies or start binging on a new TV show you just discovered.
Clearing Your Mind
Now that you're on a long trip, use the opportunity to reflect. Who knows when you will have the next opportunity to be all by yourself, with all that time on your hands. Focus on your breathing and clear your mind of any negative thoughts. Long trips are great for thinking about the future, making plans for your next trip, or simply enjoying your thoughts.
Talking With Someone New
If you're traveling by train, bus, or plane, take the opportunity to start up a conversation with the person next to you. They may be feeling just as bored as you are, and would love some company. If you're lucky, you might even make a new friend!
Being Productive
Some people love to stay productive even when traveling. If that's you, then use the time to catch up on some work, or get ahead on your personal projects. Clean up your phone or tablet, reply to emails, make holiday plans, or brainstorm birthday gifts.
Phew, that was a long journey! But with these great ideas, you'll never be bored again when life takes you on a long trip. So the next time you find yourself traveling solo, don't be stressed about boredom. As long as you bring something to get occupied, those long hours will just melt away. Who knows, you might even wish the trip lasted longer.
