The electric scooter, a reliable companion in my daily commute, has recently become my new partner for short trips. A spontaneous decision to hop on my e-scooter and venture beyond the city's borders to explore undiscovered nooks and crannies was undoubtedly filled with surprises and discoveries.
When you cruise along country lanes on an e-scooter, you realize that speed isn't everything. Instead, you have more time to appreciate the roadside scenery and experience subtle moments that you would miss in a car. A gust of wind carries the scent of the fields, a fallen leaf drifts by your e-scooter, making you aware of the changing seasons.
Riding an e-scooter, I've discovered many secret gardens hidden on the fringes of the city. The often-overlooked trails and fields I used to pass by now unfold before me like a beautiful canvas. I've also found small shops and restaurants known only to locals, tasted delicious local cuisine, and chatted with friendly shop owners.
However, the joy of e-scooter travel doesn't only lie in discovering new sights and experiences. It has also provided me with a new perspective to reevaluate my familiar environment. I've started noticing small details that I used to overlook, such as the graffiti at the corner of the street or the smile of an elder in the park. These subtle changes remind me of the surprises and possibilities life offers.
E-scooter travel has provided me with a whole new travel experience. It allows me to explore freely without the constraints of time and transportation. More importantly, it brings me closer to nature and life. I believe that in my future travels, I will choose an e-scooter as my travel companion more often, to explore places I've never seen and experience lifestyles I've never imagined.
