This is gonna seem pathetic compared to everyone else, but I drove 60 miles.
I'm the only one in the house who ever has interest in doing ANYTHING that involves going somewhere. Fairs, restaurants, interesting sounding events... it's always by myself. And I feel pretty stiffled sometimes. But driving anything more than like 25 miles away from where I live is scary to me. I would be in Who-knows-what town, and there's a big possibility of something happening with my car, and I find myself stranded in some place I've never visited before, alone and scared.
So this summer I took a rental car (since my car is 20 years old) and I just drove. A good 60 miles, which I was pretty scared of doing. A total of three counties worth of distance. The first day I was there I went to a county fair there I wanted to see. I stayed the night at a hotel, the first time I ever stayed at a hotel by myself. The second day, I went to a water park I had gone to a bunch of years ago but had to be driven to. Many summers in a row I wanted to try to go back there, even if by myself. This summer I did it.
I've seen posts people have made wanting to see a certain place and finding it an easy 3 hour drive. I'm like, how could you just find that EASY? That's a gigantic commitment!
People do this all the time though. For more than something like 60 miles.
And the worst part is... I'm 34.
