i don't like to be more than an hour away from home so traveling is usually a no go. i've been in too many situations in my life where i just needed to "get out" and i couldn't. trapped at parties because i rode with friends. kidnapped by friends for days because they wanted playmates. things like that. so i like to stay close to home so i can "just go" when i feel the need. i love "running home". it feels so safe here.
