In Karlstad, everything is a 10-minute bike ride away meaning I get to spend more time with my family and to do stuff I enjoy, like playing music or games instead of commuting. No more metro or time spent in car queues.
I heard people in Stockholm spend on average more time commuting than being on vacation per year, which is crazy when you think about it.
