Living without a car in a remote Italian mountain village is both challenging and liberating. Though the transition was spontaneous, it stemmed from environmental concerns about climate change. The couple, once reliant on their VW Golf for everyday needs, has adapted to rural life amidst limited public transport and absent cycling infrastructure. While they initially faced skepticism from family, they discovered joy in this lifestyle change, embracing the empowerment and freedom it brought, despite the difficulties of biking in a challenging environment.
The decision to sell our car stemmed from our fear of climate change, prompting us to demonstrate that a car-free life is achievable, even in rural Italy.
Rural living presents unique challenges without a car, especially in a region void of reliable public transport and cycling infrastructure, yet it offers unexpected freedoms.
