Live in the countryside

“I just spent most of the day using a pickaxe to break loose loads of rock and dirt from the side of our mountain and then hauling them one wheelbarrow load at a time to level out a walkway. I am sore and tired. I would take this everyday just to never live in a city again. BTW it’s 2 1/2-3 hours commute one way to work. I can accept the commute too. Never going back. Visiting is great but never living in town again.”

“I moved to the country in my 20s after only living in urban settings for my adult life. I found a community with a radically different set of experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds than mine and I learned and grew so much from the experience. I loved it [...] For instance, your dream house may have a slaughterhouse built a couple miles away and you may be downwind. Or you may have a neighbor who decides to blast insane music to cover up the sound of cock fights/dog fights and other illegal activity. However, it may absolutely be the dream of dreams regardless.”

“Due to the corona situation, I then moved to the countryside to some relative and it was pretty mind blowing what I have experienced since then. Living in nature with a slower rhythm and less distractions (advertisements etc.) made my life so much calmer and happier. Also, I was able to save a lot of money because I just dont need as much here. For example, housing costs are much lower and also things like eating out etc. is not as common.”
