Now that's a commute that would make my day just by travelling on it!

[-] 7of9@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

It really does do that, though then having to go to work instead of keep riding brings me down to earth with a bump, lol

[-] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

But then once work is over...

At this time of year it's dark, so I go the long way around which is mostly paved road, lol

[-] SuperSpruce@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Oof, motorcycling in the dark can be scary

[-] 7of9@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

It's ok on the road or levelled gravel, but yeah no so great on trails with loose rocks and logs to get over ... for that you need a good high power head torch and cautious riding style, lol

Bro I want this commute not my bum ass 2 deadly highways for 33 miles.

Where do I apply?

[-] 7of9@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

Step 1: find a job in the middle of nowhere.

Step 2: move there.

Sounds easy, no? To achieve it I moved to another country, learned a new language, took a 50% pay cut, and living here requires a lot more work just to be comfortable ... but I live halfway up a mountain in the middle of a nature reserve, it was worth it for me.

If I could take a 50% paycut and afford to live that would be a 100% gain.

Looks beautiful nonetheless.

Depends on where you are, where you go, and how you live - a lot of the world lives off less than $10USD a day. Before I moved I was getting by, now I'm financially comfortable despite having much less money.

Which country?

[-] Dumpdog@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Commutes are definitely a quality of life choice! As a kid my dad offered to let me ride my motorcycle to elementary school as a bribe to move to a small town. All the local kids would ride their horses to school so he figured a riding a dirtbike down the trails to school was basically the same thing.

I have no idea what that is, so I'm going to say no ... if you mean the motorbike, it's a Rieju Tango
