    If you live in a place where walking to the grocery store is feasible, chances are pretty good that you can get to your job and most other important places via sidewalk, bicycle or public transport.

      But I like traveling. My boyfriend is in arizona, and my two favorite beaches are in California 2 hours apart from each other. I like to drive and travel. Some people prefer car-free life for its simplicity & economy, but freedom & travel define my whole life.

        A month ago, I took a bus to a beach and was literally the only person at that beach. You get much greater freedom when public transit goes everywhere.

        But also cars aren’t the epitome of individual transport, lightweight motorbikes are. Last week I saw a mountain and was like “there’s farms up there, I can probably ride to the top”, and then I did.
