road trip stories
Journey narrative collection
Road trip stories are tales exchanged during long drives—the kind of rambling, entertaining narratives that fill hours on the highway.
The term captures both the setting and the genre: stories told during road trips, and stories about road trips.
Either way, they tend toward the adventurous, digressive, or nostalgic: We shared road trip stories until we hit the state line.
