Living in the city has its perks compared to living in the countryside. For people who want to be somewhere things happen, the city is perfect.

For those who prefer a slower pace, peace, and quiet, then the countryside is perfect for them. As someone who has spent time both in the countryside of Germany and the city of Chicago, I can definitely say that the city is where it’s at.

That could be dependent on the simple fact that I’m a young, adventurous soul who craves stimulation and doesn't mind being on my feet a lot. In this article, I’ll go over some key reasons people move from the countryside to a big city.

There is Always Something to Do

In the countryside, you have very few neighbors, big pieces of land, and tons of farms or crops. There aren’t as many people as there are in the city — which could be a good thing if you like your space and privacy.

In Chicago for instance, there are always live music events, amazing restaurants that are open late, and like-minded people who crave connection.
