Oh no! Not until I retire! I’m only 25 and dreaming of a high-flying career, but I’m afraid that living in the countryside will leave my career in tatters. Besides, I’m a very active and sociable person, so I think I will be bored to death being deprived of an active social life and abundance of entertainment options a big city provides.
Well, this isn’t what I’m dreaming of. I’d rather say I don’t mind swapping city life for a rural idyll. I’m tired of the constant rat race and I’ll definitely enjoy a slower pace of life. Also, I want to live in a house with multiple rooms, a garage and swimming pool which is obviously not possible until I move out of the city.
I guess that the most striking difference is that in the countryside there isn’t much traffic even during rush hours. Again, as there are fewer vehicles emitting exhaust fumes, rural areas are nowhere near as polluted as urban ones. So the air is definitely fresher. This is why it’s highly likely that people living in the country live longer. However, there may be a number of people who won’t appreciate these benefits as there aren’t many opportunities for professional growth and the choice of facilities is limited.
