Bullshit.

Traveled all over the world. Lived in 8 different cities. Never needed a car.

I am confused what you think you need a car for?? It is such a strange stance. Where have you gone that I can not go? Public transport exists. So do private tour buses.



There might be a survivorship bias here. You will have travelled to large cities with public transport because those are the most viable places to go if you can't drive. If you want to go to places that are remote/not got tourist infrastructure with buses (e.g Vietnam et Al) then you'd seem somewhat stuck. TL:DR A lot of the world is not located in metropolitan cities.


I know loads of people who have backpacked around Vietnam without a driving license. Some even consider backpacking a right of passage.
