Are you stressed with the fast-paced life in the city? Can't stand living with so many people living close to you? Burdened by the high costs of living associated with urban living? Then why don't you transfer where the grass is literally greener and transfer to the countryside?
This sounds unconventional, because it really is. Much of the migration that has taken over during the history of mankind is from the countryside towards the cities, where everything is within your reach. Reverse migration is not something unheard of, though. In the United Kingdom, it is estimated that about 100,000 people transfer from the city to the countryside every year.
You can't blame these people. It is so easy to think of going away from it all and work somewhere in the countryside. If farm work is not exactly in your skills, you can still opt to work at the nearest town or the nearest city. The question now is how you can possibly manage it. The first thing you should really do is to visit the countryside and make an inspection.
You can always visit during the summer, when farmlands become really extra-attractive, but the real deal here is the winter season. Can you stand those cold dark nights around the log fire? If you can, then countryside living might be the thing for you. You should also try making a test run driving from the country to your site of employment during rush hour. Can you stand the distance and travel time?
Other things that you have to take care of are the facilities and social options. Where are the nearest schools? The nearest hospitals? How is the public transportation network? Going away from the city also means going away from the convenience of having everything just within your reach. Take this into mind, make your investigation, and judge accordingly according to your findings.
Countryside living seems like a great idea especially if you like good adventures and quiet surroundings, but you have to think very very hard about it as it is going to be a very bold decision.
