The chirping of birds delicious, the rustle of the leaves relaxing, clean air and the scent of greenery, being away from the noise and hassles of city life … all these reasons and others push many people to live in the country.

But what really gives advantage to those living in the countryside, compared to those living in cities? Because many people nowadays seem to dream about the simple life of the country and to leave the city life behind?


Even people who live in rural areas have the same ambitions and aspirations of the people living a city life, but evidently, putting on balance the pros and cons have opted for the country life, certainly a bit’ disadvantageous in some ways (see the distance from services, lack of nearby shops or schools, etc.) but beneficial to the mind and health. In fact, the opportunities seem to lie more in urban areas than in rural areas. Sometimes a person were the country to dream of the city, but recently, everything is changed, namely, it is the people of the town who dreams of building a new life in the country.

There is a list of good reasons why a number of people now prefer the country life.

Advantages of country life

Let's take a look at the environmental characteristics that country life has to offer.

  • The campaign is a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively. The air is cleaner than the city. The landscape offers something new and not monotonous, it is closer to nature and seems to be always on vacation surrounded by the beautiful landscape that surrounds us.
  • You can own pet, such as cats and dogs, or horses, hens (and have fresh eggs every day), sheep etc., without that the neighbors complain.
  • You can have plenty of land to cultivate a garden home.
  • The healthy lifestyle is another aspect that the country can offer. Apart from the fresh, clean air, pollution-free, you breathe, live in the country gives easier access to organic farming for healthy nourishment. Organic foods are foods are products, processed and packaged without the use of chemicals and are beneficial to the health of the more conventional food.
  • Being physically healthy often leads to good mental health. One study showed that people who live in the countryside live in better mental and physical health of people living in urban areas.
  • There is less crime and less delinquency. The campaign is a place where criminals generally do not block cars or even the front door of the house, unless you are rich and famous. If you are a parent, Also you will have less worries about bad company that children might encounter.
  • It is also easier for a person to establish good relations with the neighborhood because the people of the country are generally more friendly and honest.
  • Another good reason is that we must not forget the economic aspect. The cost of living in the country is greatly reduced in the city.
  • The disadvantage of the campaign that once existed with regard to communications is passed today by technology, internet, Phones, television, etc..

Of Course, there are always two sides of the coin. The campaign will also have its drawbacks for some (depends on the tastes). Living in the country is often compared to boredom, while the life of the city seems to be more exciting and fashionable. But nowadays, this also seems to be exceeded, because the roles were reversed: city ​​people want a beautiful villa or farmhouse in the countryside! It's the life in the city to be considered a monotonous and stressful hustle nowadays!

  • Your message…Your message…A commonplace. I would have accepted several comparisons. The eggs: with the history of the eggs fresche..sembra that Italians, they may eat eighty per day…enough to need a production by \ '\' battery \ '\’ hens… I remind you that are a concentration of cholesterol and they can eat 2 settimana..i to parents: can rest easy? but what vaneggiate? now everything is equalized, cocaine and other drugs exist, verbatim, as in a city \ '. The boys get drunk equally. In fact with the fact that they do not want to be classified as \ '\' peasants \ '\’ make worse!!!not to be outdone by \ '\' citizens \ '\'. If clothes isolated, now you risk finding people in the house directly. If you're lucky you fall asleep. Otherwise… People: for a boundary \ '\' good and dear country people \ '\’ it can \’ trigger a \ '\' conflict \ '\’ that can \’ last years.For know the facts of your particular problems \ '\' will bend over backwards \ '\', shame not to share and help, but for raccontarselo to \ '\' waking \ '\’ homes. Air is clean. when you decide not to set fire, to \ '\' twigs \ '\’ they say.. then if in the middle c \ 'is another, patience.. Yesterday 9 February 2014 a dear \ '\' farmer \ '\’ those from genuine things.. he downloaded a lot \’ manure into a well that supplies the \ 'water taps of the houses of a town of the valley (Tuscany). result? Blocked disbursement of \ 'water in homes, from the well, and alarm for the people. Many orchards \ '\' biological \ '\'. In one of these, open country, where I rifornivo, I brought home, lettuce, gentilina, escarole, in which leaves c \ 'were blue balls (lumachid) partly whole and partly dissolved by \ 'watering…to wash thoroughly being a powerful pesticide to ward off slugs!!!!I'm sorry. It would be too good, the picture is the fact that every time, too bucolic…and unreal. Internet c \ 'is. this is true. Indeed can \’ get my voice up to you, assuming it is updated this blog, and there is someone from \ 'other side. I know the country from just 50 years and we live in by 16. And \’ dura.Infatti so many people come and a lot of people emigrated riparte.Tanta years ago and was born here, is never more \’ back and preferred to settle in the city \’ not to return to the village… Also because \’ not everyone can live in the beautiful house pictured in the photo. And I have emphasized to a, I speak without envy. I know people who have bought to be restored and there remained \ '\' inside \ '\’ without being able to end up with debts, and mud when it rains…why \’ the material (that must be paid) so that the coast here in town \ ', and also the competition that we can \’ be in a territory more \’ extensive, lowers prices, whereas when there is little competition, prices are high, doing good and bad weather! And \’ really a shame to give even in 2014, a vision so the move to the country.. So many people, could fall through and leave the course, for real situations which can then become critical. (enough with fresh eggs!!!!)L \ 'exposure above, says Silvia, is an eight in Italian, by the prof…..is a nice theme. The reality \’ is a bit \’ diversa.Che Believe it or not this is the first time I answer in a blog. Not l \ 'I never did and I do not think I'll \’ more \ '. I felt the need to say, years after I read these things. Thank You.

    • I'm sorry if you have not had negative experiences in the countryside. Nevertheless, what I have described is the exact picture of the campaign. Drugs and alcohol do not come, can cause problems both in city boys that country, what matters is an education full of values ​​that by their children. As far as I'm concerned both my husband “campagnoli” for generations and generations, know well the campaign (My husband also the country, because we grew up, despite the paternal grandparents were country) and we know what we say! The country boys are the most peaceful of the city boys, is a fact, I can tell a thousand experiences! As for my son, cares of being labeled by fellow countryman, knows that it is ignorance, he wants to be a farmer, and would not want to be anywhere else than here. You See, is as educate children! I was born and raised here and never would think of moving to the country or city, would be idiots! In such a place everyone wants to live, and I do not live in a house like in the picture, but a simple country house! And’ true, the neighborhood, problems arise, but it would be born in the same building… condominium, that ugly word and that bad place, I think a prison, you have to give account to the neighbors apartment, you do not have gardens and you look out your window and see only streets full of cars! How many other things I could list in this post but I do not have time. The eggs… and even if they eat only two a week you want to put those reared by you and those in the supermarket? We joke? And then, the vegetable garden? I'll cultivate you! The mud, smoke near that lights the fire? And these are problems? Including my neighbor who also has goats, You know that smell summer? Yet I like, This is the campaign and be blessed! Including the house with mud and mice entering the ground floor. If you love something you love her unconditionally. The city only has to offer smog and boredom, from my point of view! At my house then would not enter a fly, we live with 4 Alani inside house, and I say “within”!!! I do not see what the campaign against then… do not know you but surely you've had some very bad experiences so to speak, this does not mean that these experiences can make your change to people the concept of the word campaign, the bucolic… is bucolic.. for those who really loves course! Maybe deep down you do not love her because so many things do not accept… Thanks for the comment 🙂

  • Kind and nice lady,if you disagree with its image Country, not necessarily have to have made negative experiences. Or if I made, will be neither more nor less than thousands of other people more than fifty years! Unfortunately, does not work well, negative experiences = dissent. Do Not. You can not’ clear all. I think his enthusiasm is due to the young age’ and children piccoli.Tuttavia thank for making me say what I think in her beautiful blog. I apologize for the little Italian properly, why is that’ I wrote jet! Thanks again and good continuation

    • Young age? Thank 😀, even if it is not so much so. I know what I mean, is my field, We are country people from many generations. I'm glad that he did not really negative experiences, excluding this, it follows that the campaign does not love her. That's great, the world is beautiful because it is varied. Thank you for giving its contribution and I wish you good evening 🙂
