This vlog starts on a laid-back Sunday as I embark on a sporadic adventure that quickly turns into a multi-day journey. I kick things off with a road trip to Orlando to catch up with an old friend, driving through the usual Miami-to-Orlando rain. Along the way, I chat about everything from my previous Disney rideshare experiences to why Labor Day is the perfect excuse to take a break. Despite some minor frustrations with the camera's glitchy autofocus, I manage to squeeze in some editing for my YouTube shorts while on the road.

Once in Orlando, I take some well-deserved time off to reconnect with my friend without vlogging every moment. After a quick visit to a local burger spot, I head back to Miami, getting in some rideshare work. Monday and Tuesday are filled with Uber and Lyft rides, including some unexpected stories from the road. I reflect on the challenges of driving special-needs passengers, the occasional frustrations of dealing with healthcare facilities, and the emotional weight that some passengers bring into the car. It's one of those days where everything seems to pile up, but I keep grinding, hoping for a lighter mood later on.

As the week rolls on, I get back to work, juggling rideshare apps and dealing with the typical rush hour chaos. Wednesday is quieter, but by Thursday, it's time to gear up for a college night in Coconut Grove. I talk about the rhythms of Miami nightlife and how the rides tend to be shorter but more frequent during the week, with plenty of people hopping from hookup to hookup. It’s a slow but steady night, and I’m just enjoying the vibes as the sun sets and the streets fill with life again.

I kept some moments private, like my visit to Orlando, but I shared plenty of my usual Uber and Lyft stories.
