aimlessly
When you do something aimlessly, you have no plan or purpose. You might wander aimlessly through the zoo on a summer afternoon, not sure which animal you feel like looking at.
A road trip can be a long drive directly from one place to another, or it can look more like a couple of friends driving aimlessly along country highways, heading nowhere in particular.
