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?
You will find many people who think the same way in r/notjustbikes and r/walkablecities
One the things I do as an urbanist DN is take pictures of all the trains and train stations in my destinations because I just don't have that where I come from! DN-ing is also a path towards finding a place with a good balance of urbanism, affordability, and community (among other things) so I can settle there for the longer term.
