i almost always have "avoid highways" turned on when using google maps so i can see whats goin' on in the city. highways are soulless and i avoid i them as much as i can.
if you've got the time, it's best way to see a sight you might've never seen otherwise. i've found lots of good signs, art, and restaurants this way. makes having to drive somewhere a little more interesting because heck....life's about the journey. ❤️

Your own personal digital travel journal of sorts, you let google maps do all the work for you. i love it for detailed shots of gates and stained glass work, but also great for those beautiful cemeteries or skyline views that you didn’t have enough time to take a picture of. Just have to remember the street intersections!

i love to figure out where I’m going in advance and all the interesting cafes, places to see in different places + checking the distance between places! I have all these different lists saved for places to visit in different cities (yes i usually take charge of the itinerary)
i like to think im really good with directions

assuming you're passing a lot of them.... i honestly entertain myself a lot on road trips by looking at the signs and how far you are away from something. if it gets too boring look up the wikipedia article for whatever county you're passing through or the nearest town - trying to learn something about where you are!!!

always thought i had to wait for my life to be amazing to start writing it down...turns out it was already pretty cool and i regret all the stuff i can't remember anymore. also just a helpful mental practice to get your thoughts out of your brain and on some paper so you don't have to worry about holding them all in there. spending extra time thinking about positive moments in your life is also a good way to help your brain default to positive thinking more often, like building a muscle. i make it fun by cutting and pasting a bunch of pictures and stuff so it feels like a craft instead of a chore, otherwise i won't really do it.

i have a fear of reaching out or making plans because i am afraid of bothering people (insane i know) and being rejected :') however i typically vocalize this explicitly to people i care about so they don't feel like i hate them and i am trying hard to practice initiating stuff (exposure therapy). the times i have initiated plans or organized a function have gone rly well though so...i dont know. its hard for me to get over. i think most people are also just thinking about themselves....as the previous reply said. i want to be an initiator really bad.
