From what I read on this sub, the focus seems to be in developing countries or Eastern Europe. Just curious as to why US/Canada isn’t as popular as DN?

I get that it’s more expensive but there are ways around it. I think the beauty and stuff to do in such country tops a lot of places!

Just being curious and would like to know your point of views, not trying to take away anything from other countries :)

    Most of US cities are not walkable, on top of being prohibitively expensive.

    What does that have to do with anything? Renting a car in the US is dirt cheap

      Define dirt cheap? Also what happens if you have an accident? Health insurance in the US is twice as expensive with my nomad plan.

      Some nomads like me also don’t like car-centric cities. I like being able to walk everywhere (or at least use public transportation), and if there are cars around me, they shouldn’t have priorities over pedestrians. By that I mean that traffic lights turn green more often so you don’t have to wait for several minutes to cross the road, the speed limit is controlled, etc. It’s a personal preference, and many cities in the US don’t really fit those criteria.

      I had a great time in the US as a tourist, but I don’t see myself living there.
