It doesn't necessarily mean leaving a busy corporate life and running to the mountains. But i'm sure many of us have thought about ditching the corporate life or a busy city life and moving to a quieter place?
I lived in New Delhi/NCR for a few years to start my career and eventually moved back home. At the time life was very different and I surely wanted to live in the mountains. Growing up all these years in a coastal city, the lure of the mountains was incredible.
For many years I wanted to do that but I couldn't figure out how to work as a digital nomad and live a quieter life. Eventually life kept moving forward and priorities changed and I moved back home to my city which compared to Delhi is a lot smaller, quieter and greener.
This isn't a substitute as I find myself asking the question over and over again as to where I would like to spend another 30-40 years of my life. I expect my city to get more chaotic in this time frame owing to population explosion and people moving in from other states and cities into this one.
Being self-employed and earning an income irrespective of your location makes it flexible to keep moving. But it's not possible to sustain this lifestyle 365 days a year. Because the cost of travel in the times we will is very steep and involving jumping through many hoops.
But it would've been amazing to live somewhere with a beautiful view of the mountain with peace, an abundance of clean air and water. Sounds almost mythical in today's environment but no harm in day dreaming.
I'm certain many of us here may have had similar thoughts living in a big city and wishing for a life that's richer not in terms of finances but perhaps in experiences or quality of life.
