I Did A Drive From Houston, TX To Passaic, New Jersey Last Christmas And Preparing Myself Again For This Christmas Also, Enjoyed The Views And Helped Me Mentally With Life.
Something so lethargic and comforting an grounding about being on the open road just you your car and beautiful views you rarely get to see I live in NJ and I’m about to drive down the Blue Ridge Parkway than to St.Augustine Florida to visit my boy than back home in NJ if I’m feeling really into it maybe Niagara Falls NY aswell we’ll see and I’m doing it in my 1998 Lexus GS300 can’t wait
I watched this last night, honestly I loved this video because of how natural it felt and I love your vibes, it really felt like what an old RUclips video would be like
I drove from Newark New Jersey to McAllen Texas last month it was a hell of a drive almost made me relive it with ur vid. I crossed the states of New Jersey, Pensylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, virginia, Tennessee, Atlanta, Alabama, Mississippi, Lousiana and finally Texas. I made the same drive in circles when I entered Pennsylvania from New Jersey to avoid the toll 🤣, i thought it was a glitch on the google maps bc i was a little upset when i realized i coulda gone straight lol
That's awesome! It looks like we took a slightly different route as I stopped in Arkansas since I had friends there. Haha that's crazy we went through the same route avoiding the toll in PA. Thanks for watching!

Ok I needed to see this. I’m moving soon and gonna dread that drive from NJ to Houston. But I’m nervous of staying at an Airbnb in the middle of nowhere 😅
It's safe! Just be smart about it, choose an airbnb with good reviews and I wouldn't recommend arriving at almost midnight 😅 it can be difficult finding the place in the dark lol
They messed up your cold brew man. Awesome video. I am traveling from New Jersey to Nashville next week. Planning to leave at 8am and do it all in one trip. Hope I don’t get too tired.
I've taken two road trips from East tx to Boston twice. 10 and 11 hour days driving taking 2 nights and 3 days ugh, let me say that again UGGGGGHHHHHH lol. I will do it again, but this time adding a 3rd night stay somewhere. Never again do I want to drive 10 or 11 hours a a day Never lol. I drove up there and back twice soooo omg 😅
I drove from NJ to Wilmington, NC this past weekend mainly just because but I also took advantage of the fact that I was in a completely different state and experienced a different atmosphere. Is it a weird move or cool and spontaneous?
New subbie here! 👋🏽💓 Thank you for sharing your road trip journey with us. I felt like I was there 😅 This just made me SO excited for my trip I'm doing this spring (Texas to California). You captured some really beautiful scenery man 👏🏾🔥 keep up the awesome work please!
@@Fitjazpooh what rout are you taking? If you are doing I-10 I’ll warn you that there are vast stretches of absolute nothingness in west Texas until you get close to San Antonio.
@@Fitjazpooh that is the worst. Flat brown, followed by more flat brown. Maybe a tumbleweed thrown in for interest. 100+ miles between rest stops. Ugh. Won’t do that rout again. US 50 was more interesting.
She was willing to give it to my family for free but my parents didn't feel right getting it for free so we just paid her $1k for it! But she's had it for as long as I can remember and it's an honor being able to drive it back home haha
Oh so I actually flew to Boston with my sister to check out a school she's thinking of going in the fall and after Boston we spent a few days with my auntie and uncle in NJ. I bought my auntie's corolla from her since she just needed it gone so I drove it all the way back to Texas! Sorry, there wasn't any clarification on that in the video 😅
You will find that the older you get, the less time you can spend driving in a single day. 10-ish years ago I could do 12, or up to 14 massively pushing it. Now I can barely do 10 on a good day. (It looks like I might be about 2x your age). I’d have to sit and think about how many cross/half-country trips I’ve done. It’s been more than a few. I tend to do hotel rooms right on the freeway 99% of the time. More $$, but also more predictable.
You need to buy a better car, most cars drive nowadays have lane keep assist and cruise control. A 90 year old can drive 45 hours non stop in a 2020 Hyundai Elantra
Ive been wanting to go from NJ to TX and u said San Antonio which is exactly where i need to go lol i cant even drive down to Atlantic city without feeling busted lol 😅
Not meant for everyone, my mom still can’t drive on the highway after 20 years of driving. I drove from Pennsylvania to Arizona the first week of getting my license
yeah everyone has a different tolerance in how much distance they can drive in one trip. Funny enough, last year I drove from San Antonio TX to Seattle Washington 😅
basically you pay to take a bridge or some other kind of road that the government paid for. So when you take the tolls you're paying the ppl who built it for using it
There’s just something about waking up in the morning, with a cup of coffee and hearing birds that just fills my soul
same bruhh that moment was probably one of my favorite from the trip. so serene!
I actually really liked this style of video. I was so entertained and didn't realize I had been watching for nearly 30 minutes.
good to know! more videos to come? 👀
You didn't use the music once but you still kept us very engaged and entertained, you have an amazing storytelling skills. Best of luck.
I appreciate it! 🙏

Wow that’s great! I’m planning to drive from Jersey City NJ to Phoenix in about a month 34 hours! Whew

I recognize Phillipsburg NJ, and the free bridge over the Delaware into Easton.
I watched this last night, honestly I loved this video because of how natural it felt and I love your vibes, it really felt like what an old RUclips video would be like

Watching this all through made me actually feel like I travelled with you. Thanks for sharing. That plane part was crazy though!

About to make a similar journey, enjoyed your video.

Road trip videos with no annoying background music >>>

This was , a fun video ! Idk how I stumbled on here , but this was interesting!
Glad you're here! Thanks for watching!
You passed through Philipsburg, NJ into Easton, PA (my hometown) via the free bridge. Cool!
what a great video, i can appreciate the joyful way that you are towards your family its very sincere and connective
Thanks so much!
cool video ty for sharing ur time on the road with us loved it sorry it was kinda boring on some parts
totally understand!
That air bnb place is out of this world. Would really love to check in there someday LOL
If you're interested in checking it out, I added a link to it in the description of this video!
@@freeleytravel thanks.

Driving through Jersey at night sucks because every single dunkin is always closed :((

@@freeleytravel I mean the chesnut coffee is pretty dang good from there
I'm going to Utah from nyc 30+ hours driving wish me luck 🤞
Safe travels!
haha im doing this exact drive tomorrow
Safe travels!!
@@freeleytravel thanks!
Love your content
I appreciate it!
Great Video!!
I drove from NJ to Wilmington, NC this past weekend mainly just because but I also took advantage of the fact that I was in a completely different state and experienced a different atmosphere. Is it a weird move or cool and spontaneous?
cool and spontaneous!
My family and I are driving to texas from New York I’m terrified 😬
Same. I’m buying a car for my mom and need to drive it from NY to TX for her. Never have driven so far. Nor alone.
my biggest fear driving that distance was breaking down in the middle of nowhere 😨
Nice video man! Just subscribed 👍🏾
Thanks bro! 🙌
so cool!
Love your cam! Which one is it?
GoPro hero 7!
Sadly I can only handle driving 3 or 4 hrs most unless someone switch me 😭😑never did try driving by myself
New subbie here! 👋🏽💓 Thank you for sharing your road trip journey with us. I felt like I was there 😅 This just made me SO excited for my trip I'm doing this spring (Texas to California). You captured some really beautiful scenery man 👏🏾🔥 keep up the awesome work please!
I appreciate it! are you going to vlog your trip from TX to CA? that would be fun!
@@freeleytravel Absolutely! I just received my gopro 10 in the mail today, so I definitely plan on vloging as much as I can 😊
@@Fitjazpooh what rout are you taking? If you are doing I-10 I’ll warn you that there are vast stretches of absolute nothingness in west Texas until you get close to San Antonio.
@@mendyviola so true! The drive from San Antonio to El Paso was incredibly uneventful 😅
@@Fitjazpooh that is the worst. Flat brown, followed by more flat brown. Maybe a tumbleweed thrown in for interest. 100+ miles between rest stops. Ugh. Won’t do that rout again. US 50 was more interesting.
I’m trying to do this, very nervous 😬
you got this! what are some factors making you nervous? I was thinking of making a follow up video talking about tips for solo road trips
@@freeleytravel I’m afraid to fall asleep while driving
brooo! I'm actually driving from Michigan to New York and this encouraged me that I'll be okay hahaha. are you filipino? haha
Safe travels, I'm glad it helped! Yup! I'm filipino
How do you even do it tho? 😅 ima be driving long distance on my own for the first time and I’m kind of scared and anxious tbh lmao
New to the channel! Did your aunt give you the car?
She was willing to give it to my family for free but my parents didn't feel right getting it for free so we just paid her $1k for it! But she's had it for as long as I can remember and it's an honor being able to drive it back home haha
@@freeleytravel nice!
did i miss the part where you drove from texas to nj?
Oh so I actually flew to Boston with my sister to check out a school she's thinking of going in the fall and after Boston we spent a few days with my auntie and uncle in NJ. I bought my auntie's corolla from her since she just needed it gone so I drove it all the way back to Texas! Sorry, there wasn't any clarification on that in the video 😅

That is why I tell young people to enjoy your life before you get old and everything is a pain in the a$$

How much did you spend on gas total?
I spent $120.28 for the entire trip on gas. I doubt you'll be able to get those prices now from NJ to TX...
@@freeleytravel ahaha it’ll be something like 275$
Good video
Thanks!
dude is your name freeley?
I'm wondering where you are now.
I'm in Washington State!
Yeah sadly Midwest is very flat lol some hills but very flat
Nice Video! haha
hahaha thanks!
PA my area lol

@@freeleytravel yes let's meetup I need more road friends
Are you a Filipino?? Btw great video😁
yep! I appreciate it!
can u explain tolls to me please??
basically you pay to take a bridge or some other kind of road that the government paid for. So when you take the tolls you're paying the ppl who built it for using it
He is a little kid driving
