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 live in a major European city. I sold my car a few months ago. I’m now car free and walking everywhere/taking Uber/using the Metro. It’s great. I don’t enjoy driving either.
