When I spend time in a bustling city.. much as I may enjoy it at the time.. after a while I can't wait to get back to the great outdoors.
Hi Claire
I'm more of a city person but i guess it depends what type of person you are and where you were brought up. I like escaping to the country occasionally because the city does my head in sometimes and its nice to go somewhere quiet and peaceful but i think there is more to in the city and i get bored easily
I would love to have a place away from the city......It would be such a retreat! Probably why I like to camp so much.....Just get away from all the hussel and bussel and stress. Enjoy the peacful surroundings of nature....
Think Glen Campbell said it best in "Country Boy."
Livin' in the city Ain't never been my idea of gettin' it on But the job demands that you make new plans Before your big chance is gone.
You get a house in the hills. You're payin' everyone's bills And they tell you that you're gonna go far But in the back of my mind, I hear it time after time, Is that who you really are?
Country boy, you got your feet in L.A., But your mind's on Tennessee. Lookin' back, I can remember the time When I sang my songs for free. Country boy, you got your feet in L.A. Take a look at everything you own. But now and then, my heart keeps goin' home.
Talkin' on the telephone, Settin' up another day of people to meet. You've gotta do what's right, You've gotta spend the night, Stayin' in touch with the street. When you're surrounded by friends, They say the fun never ends, But I guess I'll never figure it out 'Cause in the back of my mind, I hear it time after time, Is this what it's all about?

I was born in Toronto spent most of my life in Edmonton. Moved to a farm and lived there when I was 19 for a year. haven't had much interest in cities since then. Lived in a few small communities over the years and in the city in between. Now I'm in a small town and moving to another small town in the mountains. Couldn't see myself ever living in a city again. I like the peace and quiet of small towns, but ideally want an acerage. Somewhere that I have a little bit more room to breathe.
