I Drove for 22 Hours Straight… It Was a Mistake

I didn’t plan this. What was supposed to be a normal drive turned into something I’ve never done before… driving for 22 hours straight, alone. Sometimes life doesn’t give you time to make the “right” decision—you just go. At first, it felt manageable. Just another long stretch of road. But somewhere along the way, the fatigue started creeping in, and I realized I might have pushed myself too far. This is what no one really tells you about driving this far alone—the mental exhaustion, the physical strain, and the quiet moments where you start questioning your choices. If you’ve ever done a long distance drive, or wondered what it’s like to push past your limits on a solo road trip, you’ll understand exactly what this feels like. 🚗 Solo female travel 🌙 Night driving vlog 🛣️ Long distance road trip 🚙 Car camping & car life #solofemaletravel #roadtripvlog #longdistancedriving #carcamping #vanlife #nightdriving #travelvlog #soloroadtrip LINKS: 👉 Jetboil. https://amzn.to/3XMHdf1 👉 Electric Sleeping Bag Liner https://amzn.to/4rXAn4c 👉 Jackery Power Station https://www.jackery.com/products/expl... 👉Portable Heater https://amzn.to/48NF87D 👉Nalgene Water Bottle https://amzn.to/49cl7rJ 👉Thermarest Insulating Sleeping Pad https://amzn.to/4ahL8Ih 👉Nemo Sonic Down Sleeping Bag -20F https://www.nemoequipment.com/en-ca/p... 👉 LoonaGo Female Urinal https://amzn.to/48Q0CR8 👉 Car Electric Heating Blanket https://amzn.to/4a8iDg1 👉 Recovery Tracks https://amzn.to/4oLw351 👉 Battery Booster Jump Starter https://amzn.to/3MpM6bz 👉Window covers are from WeatherTech https://www.weathertech.ca/en-ca/suns... 👉RV Mini Dish Drainer & Tray https://amzn.to/3YsZcY0 👉Dish Pan https://amzn.to/4aMod7U 👉 Gear I Use: All items are listed in my Amazon Storefront https://www.amazon.com/shop/lostinwon... 00:00 Attempting a 1,000 Mile Drive Alone 00:55 Why I Have to Go Home Now 02:10 Starting the Long Drive 03:20 Road Trip Snacks & Reality 05:00 Hours on the Road Begin 07:10 First Signs of Fatigue 09:00 Driving Through Virginia (So Beautiful) 10:40 Night Driving Alone Begins 12:30 The Reality of Driving 16+ Hours 14:20 Not in the Right Headspace 16:00 Gas Stops & Pushing Through 18:40 Everything Starts Going Wrong 21:10 Late Night Drive (Exhaustion Hits) 23:30 3:30AM Check-In (Still Driving) 26:00 The Hardest Part of Driving Alone at Night 29:10 Close to the Border 31:00 Back in Canada 32:30 Final Stretch Home 33:40 21 Hours Later… I Made It
