Would you feel comfortable staying at someone else's (someone you've never met before) home?
My friend wants to do a cross country road trip to visit her family and such, and she's asked if I wanted to go to since I'm looking into moving to another state and I have enough time to take off for vacation but I'm hesitant because when we get to all the locations, we'll be staying at her families or friends home. I haven't met any of her family members since they live so far away so I'm really going back and forth..
Would it be/feel awkward? This would be a two week long road trip.

In the scenario you present, OP, it wouldn't bother me at all.

I wouldn't be comfortable, but that's just me. I'd rather have my own space.

You really have to look at your feelings and history. It wouldn't be my cup of tea. Some would be fine with it. It's up to you.

Cross country road trips are a blast, especially with friends. It beats paying money for hotels and you'll probably meet some cool people....
The only other option if your over 25 is to rent an RV.
I never turn down a good road trip.

Yes, I would do that. In fact I have done it and it was a ton of fun. Go for it.

I've done it a few times. It wasn't awkward for me at all, the people I've met have been very welcoming. Give it a try, perhaps by the time you return you can change your user name to "Not Lonely Anymore".

Yes to the RV. Friend had already suggested renting one.
