And wow; being able to walk places is amazing 😍! It’s so freeing to not need a car for everything. I the US I live close enough to work to walk, but the terrible design of the stroads makes it very unpleasant. I want to stay here, I don’t want to go back to the car dependent suburbs 🙁.
Unfortunately the trip was planned by my parents and we’ve spent a lot of time in a car traveling to places. I don’t mind pretty scenery, but multiple 6 hours days of car travel is boring. And really I wanted to see the urban design, not the country side.
You’re so lucky to experience that! I’m currently stuck in the USA in a car-dependent city. I hate driving. I’m going to do whatever I can to relocate to a city or country where I don’t need a car and public transportation is clean and safe.
