I have no sense of direction whatsoever for where I am, generally. The exception is if it's a place I've been a lot and getting there is fairly straightforward. But I am NOT a person you want to ask for directions! I still can't tell you how to get from my house to the nearest city 10 min away, that I go to all the time. But I CAN tell you how to walk from one location in the downtown district to another, as I've done it so many times, and it's really easy to navigate.

You could drop me anywhere in Glasgow, even parts I've never been to, and I could find my way home, no problem. But, when I'm on holiday, I seldom get my bearings. Thankfully, my husband has an excellent sense of direction. However, we've been to Dublin 3 times and got completely lost each time, whilst trying to find our way out of the city.
