Are you traveling without many comforts or conveniences? · Are you living in a basic way?
This is a super chill way to ask someone if their trip involves basic accommodations, camping, or generally doing things on a budget, rather than luxury. It implies a bit of a challenge or adventure! Think backpacking through remote areas or staying in a tent. 🏕️
Your friend just returned from a month-long trip through Southeast Asia, staying in hostels and taking local buses. Which English expression would you use to ask about their experience? A. Are you taking it easy? B. Are you roughing it? C. Are you living large?
💡 **Pro-Tip!** This expression often comes with a hint of admiration for someone choosing a more rugged travel experience. It's usually asked with a friendly, curious tone. You can also use 'rough it' on its own, like 'We had to rough it for a few days when our car broke down.'
