[QUOTE="Ad Dieleman, post: 399337, member: 3275"] It's very important to know yourself: how likely is it that you will indeed make weekend trips? It's a much bigger threshold than just grab your camera and go out on a walk. Try to be honest and ask yourself how many trips you will make in a year. A 1.5 hour train ride to other places will cost you 3 hours on a day, which is a sizeable chunk of the day; how often will you want to do that? Before corona I regularly went to Utrecht on an afternoon, a 1 hour train ride, but that's about the limit for me. Does a focused photography trip work for you or does "aimless wandering" with a camera work better? Check your results from the past, I'd say. How much do you enjoy city life? How much will you miss it? Or do you just endure it? I suppose you don't really dislike it, otherwise you'd have moved already to a quieter place. I'm biased, of course. I think I'd get a little depressed in a small town with not much to do, and my wife even more so. [/QUOTE]
