Note; I would use carriages but only when it's from the one side to the other side of Skyrim & I can only use the carriage to places I've actually been before.
I'm also thinking of doing as much as possible quests in a city (or surrounding areas) without doing the ones that require you to go and visit another city or get very near it. Only when there's no other option I would travel to the next city and so on and on...
