If this is in a North American context, it probably means that the writer is a nervous driver. When this person has to do some errands - for example, buying groceries - they only go to stores that they can drive to without having to turn left at an intersection. In countries where people drive on the right-hand side of the road, it's easy to turn right onto another road. Left-hand turns are more difficult, because you have to cross the path of other traffic.
If any users of US English are reading this, please correct me if I've said anything above that seems out of place in a North American context. I've done my best to use context-appropriate language!
NB The US and Canada are the only English-speaking countries which drive on the right, so it's the left-hand turns which are the easy ones outside N. America.
