How do you like to do your holidays? (self.autism)

I'm looking to go away in March (from UK), I normally like to pack a tent onto my bicycle, find a ferry to to Europe and explore. But this time I think I'd like a short trip somewhere hot, no cycling. I'm looking at holiday websites but it feels a bit like when I'm in the supermarket trying to find a particular product on the shelf, there's just too much going on and I feel paralyzed and dumb. Tell me how you do yours so I can get some inspiration please :)

I’ve always wanted to do just. Just a random road trip with nothing planned. Just stay at whatever lodging I find.

Do it!

Take a tent if possible or, worst case, sleep in the car. I know this might not apply to most countries, but in the US there is this thing called BLM land where you can camp and pretty much do whatever entirely for free.

Also, piece of advice, don't half-ass the 'fuck it' adittude, you will not have a good time. Set some basic goals like maybe destination, trip length, or cool things to see, but that's it. Now go have an adventure . . .
