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’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.
