Transportation in north America is more difficult than transportation within Europe for sure. I recently moved to Germany from Canada and have found it is much easier to get between locations with many options and price points available.

I disagree with this notion that adults at the age of 30 shift their focus to children when the average age of first time mothers has steadily risen to 26.3 years old since 1970.

I feel like the general points made in this article apply more to 35-40 year olds as I know there are plenty of people in their early 30's still focused on growing their social circles without settling down with a family yet.
