Background
Every day we commute further distances than ever before for work. I live on the central coast and commute daily down to Sydney for both university and work. Living on the central coast my commute is around an hour and 20mins each way. with the two options for your commute being catching the train or driving. I have noticed a stigma around the travel time with most people viewing this as “dead time” or time out of your day. Recent studies on commute times and the effect it has on our mental health and well being have allowed me to reflect over the years on the different ways i have utilized this time. This sparked the idea for the concept of commute/well-being as a way to get people thinking about their own commutes and sharing ideas.
