I'm lucky to be living in S. California where yes we have traffic but gosh if you love nature and just enjoying scenery its amazing. Even if I'm stuck in traffic I've got views of mountains and all sorts of people watching. SO many cool spots to stop and explore.
I drive all around LA, and if I'm bored some weekend I'll get an airbnb in SF and drive up there along the coast. Put on some good music or podcast and just explore by stopping at different restaurants and pit stops.
I love driving. I can't wait for the day that people have space ships. I want to fly around canyons and then zip straight into space, warp jump to some other planet and explore it, before going home.
When I feel low, I grab my keys and wallet and head out.
