G'day ...

I'm in my early thirties and live in a nice South-Eastern suburb of the City of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia.

I've never driven and never want to. I get public transport everywhere, which suits me fine (and probably saves me a fortune with the rising cost of petrol, not to mention registration, insurance and maintance) and I'm lucky enough to live very close to work, so I ride my bike there and back and save even more money on bus tickets.

Thankfully I think my family have just about given up "encouraging" me to drive.

If anyone wants to ask me anything or to just say hello, please go ahead.

It's good to be here and nice to be in the company of like-minded people.

Regards,

Stuart.

  • good on ya mate! i'm a non-driver from down-down-under (NZ) and i'm in my early thirties too. it sucks how everyone thinks there's something wrong with me if i don't have a car or drive or want to drive. i might have to learn at some stage - because of everyone pressuring me to - including my job and friends. but i'm quite timid. its like i'll be really doing something that doesn't come naturally for me.
