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?
Car free is a massive QoL downgrade personally. Wasting time waiting for pub transport, inefficient routes. And all the smokers and crazy people
No, I like earning money anywhere.
I’m in the exact same boat. Hate the thought of even owning one right now. Moving to Seattle next spring to continue my life without one
I’m not a nomad but I’m car-free for multiple reasons. I live in Denver with a pretty decent transit system, and I can easily walk to the nearest grocery store. I work remotely so it isn’t difficult for me to get by without a car. I also have the option of renting one if there is somewhere I want to go that requires it. It’s working out very well for me. However, I think it would be impractical to nomad around the US without a car, especially if you like visiting state and national parks.
I often have a car when I DN. I don’t think that it’s a requirement to be car free while nomadding.
