More people are looking at breaking away from the city life and exploring the possibility of country living. This can be a desire to slow things down and to break away from the non-stop fast pace of living in the city. What most people tend to find, is that once they have experienced the calm and peaceful nature of country living, they often have no desire to escape back to the city.
Country living can be a lot like living in the city. You can still get cable, internet and all the technology to operate in the country. That means you can stay connected as often as you want, or you can choose to get off the grid instead. The option is up to you and you will find that the lifestyle works wonders for many people.
