Real life is so much more interesting, IMO. Also there's far more that you can only experience by walking or riding a bike around the city.

- humanrebar 9y agoThere are things you only experience scooting around the city, but there are things you only experience when you get at least 30 miles out of an urban area. And there are things you only experience if you go on a full-blown roadtrip. I think there's a lot to find interesting out there. Generally I only feel limited by my curiosity and imagination. If you're on a road trip across a "boring" part of the country, chat up a trucker at a rest stop. Ask how the business works, how they got into the business, how things changed since they started, what their bosses seem like, etc.
- brndnmtthws 9y agoYeah, and try doing it on a bicycle. I biked across the US (SF to NYC) last summer, and it's something you simply cannot replicate any other way. There is so much more to the world when you hear the sounds, smell the smells, and have spontaneous conversations with people ("you're on a bike? going to where? what?").
