Travelling is to find our identity, to fulfill life, to accumulate memories and to create original experience, which we will not discover in a room, a house or on the way home and work.
No matter how you choose your way to drive by yourself, use public transportation or whatever, every way has both advantages and disadvantages. If you choose to use public transportation, you may not be comfortable, and the very few number of the transport and very little time may cause incompatibility, but it is safe. In the other hand, if you choose to drive by yourself, you certainly can choose what time you will leave and listen to the music you like during driving. There is no worry about these. A word of advice, to avoid confusion and getting lost, you should know well directions and where you are going to head to.
