During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, I discovered a newfound passion that has stayed with me ever since. Because everything was online, and because my workload had slowed to a standstill, I had to search for ways to take advantage of all of this extra time. Driving was my solution; I would get in the car, usually alone, and drive to any number of the great cities within 2-3 hours of my home. Exploring all of these new places was an exciting and invigorating experience during an otherwise difficult time, and was something I encouraged all of my friends to do, too. There were no limits!

 

My advice was and still is to simply “go wherever you please,” and to enjoy the adventure. I’m so lucky to have this opportunity of exploration, and I encourage everyone who shares this privilege to take full advantage.
