Why Creatives Should Hit the Road

A change of scenery often sparks new ideas. The road offers:

• Time away from distractions

• Space to think, sketch, or record ideas

• New sights, sounds, and stories to explore

Plus, the flexibility of having your own car means you can stop when inspiration strikes—whether that’s a misty mountain overlook or a quirky roadside cafe.
