driving

Intellectually, I knew that it was wrong, but I had to confess that I really did miss my car. 

I am a fixer, incapable of accepting the idea that there were things broken past repair. All my life, I have always wondered when the answer to saving the environment will come, but I never considered phrasing the thought as an if.

These are just some of the things I want to do during this short break and I hope you have things that you’re looking forward to doing in a few weeks too!

Over the weekend, I drove from my Central Valley town to sunny southern California. I knew it was going to be an experience because I was going to be alone and it was my first time driving there. Did everything go according to plan? No. Was it a turbulent time? Yes. I want to impart some wisdom from my 300-mile, five-hourlong drive to anyone planning to make a cross-state trip.

Maybe you love long drives or you dread them — whichever it is, here are some things you can do to enjoy your long trip with more comfort and fun!

During my family's time in North America, we traveled around 46 states in the United States and five Canadian provinces, driving in our SUV and sleeping at local campsites. 

You were supposed to meet your friend 10 minutes ago, and you're running super late. A difficult choice emerges: should you walk and or should you drive?

As a Southern Californian, I didn’t realize how much work goes into preparing my car to drive in a place where it regularly snows during the winter.

We’ve both had times when a car ride has been a catalyst for connection or an important milestone in a relationship.
