I travel; photographing where I am and what I'm seeing is usually a secondary impulse. I lose cameras often. I've been lots of places where getting there required the camera to be a luxury, not a necessity.
I've driven cross country several times. I've visited 46 states. I once took a 135-hour bus ride, passing 40 latitudinal degrees in the process.
I live in Brooklyn. I'm getting good at it.
