Jack Kerouac's famous book 'On the Road' is translated into Polish simply as 'W drodze', cementing the phrase in the counter-culture lexicon. In the era of Google Maps, Poles often send their 'live location' with the message 'Jestem w drodze', combining traditional language with modern tech. Long-distance bus travel (like FlixBus) is very popular in Poland. You will often hear passengers on their phones saying 'Jestem w drodze' to waiting relatives.
