True, I should have phrased that differently. I was spoiled with variety in Seattle. In a day of driving I could do mountains or desert or water or urban or ocean. Around Stockholm, where I live now, things are a lot more uniform. And it hurts going far with car sharing price per km. In Seattle I had the benefit of free Electrify America charging and flat monthly rate charging in my apartment building so driving was essentially free.
So yeah, circumstances.
I didn't realise how much I'd miss the driving when I moved back to Europe and switched back to a not-insane income level.
