For years, city life was a symbol of success – fast pace, constant opportunities, lights and noise. But more and more people, from all walks of life, are asking the same question: is this how I want to live?
Instead of an apartment in the city center, people are increasingly choosing a house under a hill. Instead of the city hustle and bustle – space, silence and a connection to real life.
Returning to the village is no longer a sign of escape, but increasingly – a choice.
A life without pressure and hustle
Many people are tired of the daily pace in which time flies between traffic lights, emails, obligations and overcrowded calendars. The countryside offers something that has become a rarity in cities – space to breathe, work at our own pace and calm down. Without the race for parking, without the city noise and the feeling of being constantly late.
Remote work has changed the rules of the game.
The ability to work “from anywhere” is no longer a luxury, but a reality for an increasing number of people. When work is no longer tied to the office, many choose to work from a place where the window does not look out to the neighboring wall, but to a mountain, forest or meadow. Technology has made possible what was once only a romantic idea: living outside the city, while being fully connected.
Less costs – more sense
The cost of living in the city is rising year after year. In the countryside, life is often more modest, but also more meaningful. People are rediscovering the value of their own work, simple food, neighborly exchanges, and personal freedom. More and more households are becoming partially or completely self-sustaining – not out of necessity, but out of a desire to live differently.
Back to myself
Besides the economic and practical aspects, moving to the countryside is also an internal change for many. The need to be closer to nature, to slow down, to measure the days not by e-mails but by the weather, the plants in the yard, and a rhythm that is more pleasant for the body and mind. Many say that it is only outside the city that they truly live for the first time in their lives.
This is not a trend, but an increasingly strong feeling that what is important does not require noise. In an era of constant accessibility, crowded networks and hectic schedules, the village offers something simple but precious: silence, space, rhythm, meaning.
