Moving from a place to another can be difficult in any circumstances, now imagine moving from a beautiful and calm rural area to the chaotic city, this may fell like the change of someone’s live and it is, but it can be a little bit preferable if you prepare for it. So, you just move to the urban areas from the country side? or your family is planning to move some time nearby? Well, here I tell you the story of my family and our experience including some tips that can help your whit this estrange travel and probably cultural clashes between the rural areas and the cities.

 

Time ago years later of my family move, when we already had become accustomed to life in the city and seldom missed just a few the countryside. I had the opportunity to spoke with my grandfather about how our move from the countryside to the city affected the family. First, he noted the positive aspects of our prior rural life. We breathed clean air all the time, had a farm, and maintained close family ties. There was a great deal of interpersonal communication, as there weren’t a lot of computers, internet, or video games.

 

However, my grandfather proceeded to explain the reasons for the move to the city. Financially, it was very difficult to earn a living in the countryside. In addition, he stated there weren’t many educational opportunities for me or for the younger generation. In addition, if someone got sick, medical attention is harder to find in rural areas.

 

My grandfather observed that in the city there are many modern conveniences. For example, there is access to cultural activities and better schooling for me. However, he also said there are disadvantages to city life. There is crime to worry about, traffic can be a problem, electric and water bills are high, public transportation isn’t always reliable, our home is smaller than our house in the countryside, and there is pollution from many vehicles and other sources of contamination, there is even visual and noise pollution, I didn’t know that existed.

 

Something my grandfather is proud of is how we have adapted as a family to city life. Despite the challenges, we make an effort to eat meals together, go on vacation together, spend time on the weekends as a family, and share our good and bad experiences with one another.

 

When you or someone in your family starts to feel nostalgic and think about the countryside and how it was better despite all the opportunities that urban areas give, think about the reasons why your family moves, think about what you want to achieve in the city and always keep in mind that people make some sacrifices to have a better life.

 

In conclusion, moving from the countryside to the city was a big challenge. It was for a better lifestyle for the next generation. By being adaptable, we have made it work for everyone.
