In The girl on the train by Paula Hawkins I read the following :
" We were going to ride motorbikes from Paris to the Côte d’Azur, or all the way
down the Pacific coast of the USA, from Seattle to Los Angeles; we were going to follow in
Che Guevara’s tracks from Buenos Aires to Caracas. Maybe if I’d done all that, I wouldn’t
have ended up here . " why did she use present perfect instead simple past ? I mean " wouldn't end up here " ?
