One of my favorite things to do is to just get in my car and go. I usually don't have any destination in mind -- I just go wherever I feel like going. Most of the time, these little adventures prove to be the most rewarding experiences. The people you meet, the food you eat is all new and exciting because you may not have ever been there before. There are different reasons for when I get the need to just get lost.

1. I need to clear my head.

Life can get pretty hectic, and sometimes you just feel like combusting from all of the emotions you keep locked up. A night drive is a perfect remedy for this, where all you have to think about is the road. For an added bonus, grab some of your friends to go with you, and that late night horrible car singing will let you forget about anything weighing you down.

2. A date night.

Whether with your S/O or your best friends, make a date out of getting lost. Take a penny and flip it every time you come to a stop. Heads for right, and tails for left. Pick a number, one through 15, to set as your flips. When you're done, look around and make a date out of wherever you happened to end up.

3. I want to explore my town.

Pick a Saturday free of commitments to just get lost in your town. Walk around, meet strangers, take lots of selfies and make your own memories. If you do this on your own I promise you, although it may be awkward at first, you will feel more confident about living on your own in a town you now know better.

4. I need to de-stress.

No matter where you end up in life, there is always going to be drama. Whether you are at the center of it or you just somehow got dragged into it, taking a long drive to somewhere new can be refreshing. It might even help you decide on how you want to handle the situation.

5. No reason at all.

Enough said. You don't need a reason to want to explore, just go out there and do it!
