Its often nice to have a break from driving, not having to worry about traffic, filling up or trying to find a parking spot. I've been without a car for many years now since I've taken up the career of full time working traveler. And as living abroad goes, it isn't until you physically or sometimes legally cannot own and drive your own vehicle that you awaken a strong, burning desire to get behind the wheel, blast some tunes and cruise around with the windows down. If you hadn't noticed, I miss driving. I miss the road trips, the smell of petrol and the freedom of four wheels. Here's just a few reasons why driving is awesome.
- You don't need to bring a handbag. You know you have lip balm in the console, a hair tie on the gear stick, a warm bottle of water rolling around the floor and enough change in the ashtray for that drive-through donut run on a Sunday morning.
- Makes a great second wardrobe.
- Discovering a new brunch spot when you turn down a side street to make an illegal u-turn.
- Throwing a weekend bag in the trunk and taking off into the mountains.
- Being able to go to the grocery store just once a week and get everything you need.
Sigh..Oy!
