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 am totally in the same boat. I work remotely and live in a rural area, but bc it’s Vermont and they actually did land use planning, I can get but with basic trips like to the grocery store, hardware store, post office with a bike.
Car ownership is an awful burden that never needed to be imposed on the majority of the public. I could go on about this forever you’re not alone. Go for it!
That’s so good to know I’ve driven through rural Vermont twice in the recent years and I hadn’t paid enough attention to the layout of things mostly because I was mesmerized by the beauty of this state ! Maine and Vermont are two places I’d love to live permanently one day.
