Do you hate rushing everywhere? Do you prefer to take life slowly instead of cramming everything into one day?

If you prefer the quiet life and love to stop and smell the roses, then the rural life is for you.

In the town, the sheer amount of people, traffic, pollution, and noise has me overwhelmed. It's like being a fish out of water. The constant hustle and bustle actually reaches be too much. As you walk across the street and admire the skyscrapers, passersby push and shove you.

In contrast, being encompassed by nature and wildlife in a rural setting will comfort you. You will notice that living amongst the mountains and the forest will resonate together with your adventurous spirit. Living rural allows you to live a happy, fulfilling life. In a tiny, rural town, you will also become familiar with everyone in the community. Everybody is friendly and welcoming, and they won't hesitate to greet you.

The rural life is literally a breath of outdoors.

Every time you look out your window, you'll see beautiful landscapes and picturesque hills. You'll watch the clouds roll over the mountains, the birds fly through the valley, and the wildlife graze in your own backyard.

When you live rural, boredom isn't a choice.

Whether you're chopping wood for any fire, gardening, feeding the birds, or hiking, there's always something to do. You can even drive for your local farmers' market or go sightseeing without having to worry about heavy traffic! At the end of your day, you can light a bonfire in your backyard, toast some marshmallows, and gaze up at the stars.

Living a rural lifestyle makes me feel less stressed, pressured, and anxious. Instead, I've found myself constantly overwhelmed with joy! I'm happy living rural, so here I will stay. I don't care that the houses are spaced out or the shops are an hour away. I'd favour the beautiful scenery anyway!

No matter what, the rural life continues giving.

Peace and quiet, beautiful surroundings, and also the freedom of a slow-paced life? Yes, please! My house feels like a private getaway, that is a dream come true. As I lay in bed looking out at the trees, I think to myself, “What more could I request? This is exactly where I want to be.”
