Over the years, I've realized that:
I don't enjoy driving.
I don't like sharing the roads with dangerous drivers (especially in my area with frequent accidents).
I don't like the costs and financial burdens associated with owning a car.
Groceries and appointments seem to be my only reason for needing a car, but I feel like I can find ways around these with proper location and route planning. Right now, I currently live in the suburbs where it's basically essential to own a car.
I'm looking for a way where I can live a life without the need for a car. It seems that by re-locating to a country with a superior transit system, it could be an option. Is this possible or am I being unrealistic? What am I missing?
How big or important of a factor was this for you when going nomad? How does it impact you?
I fucking hate driving. Hate cars. Americans are soooooooo into their cars.
But its been easy to make my life fairly car free in the US.
Issues come with things like hauling the dogs around. You can take your dog in the train in France. No american transport system allows this unless it's a "service dog". I don't find 99,9% of cities in the US totally car free-even the ones that say they are green like Boulder or Denver.
