Living in the Mountains Vs. The City - What really gives you peace of soul and mind
Many people have always wondered, ¨What`s it like living by the *mountains*, and how does it contrast to living somewhere in the *city*? ¨ From my personal experience for living in both areas, I can say there is a lot to compare  from waking up to a busy, loud area, to waking up to much more quiet, somewhat *peaceful* area. I’ve had the opportunity to live on both places for very long, but let me tell you…  I do not need to knit pick and think too hard on the different lifestyles. Such as the surroundings, and the view.

To start off, the surroundings. In the city, it’s a busy area as you know, so you can see a lot of restaurants, stores, etc. Very convenient for places to shop, eat, hangout with friends or family and walk around. Can’t necessarily do that when you live so close to the *mountainside*. There are benefits to living in the city because everything is so close to each other, and the closest store or place to eat is like a mile or two away. However, it is quiet, less crowded, and it’s always an *adventure*!

Furthermore, we talk about the view, there isn’t that much to say. In a city, you see building every block you turn too, you see pedestrians, cars and motorcycles everywhere. In the mountains, all you see is that. Not to mention farms and other houses nearby, but not much else. It’s just amazing to look at! I can stare about it for hours if given the chance, it gives me a sense of freedom, something a city can`t give me.

That’s my personal take on contrasting two very different areas. Overall I have really enjoyed living on the mountainside and I really wanted to give you a little notion of how it’s like, I feel more comfortable here than I do in the city. Nothing to take away from the city, it`s a nice area, but if I had to choose between the two, I would stay in the mountains.

Thanks for reading and all the support, question: which place do you like better, the city or the mountains? Remember any comment, suggestion or idea is well received. Thanks a lot again and I will see you soon!




<i><strong>Muchas personas siempre se han preguntado, ¨ ¿Cómo será vivir en las *montañas* y como se contrasta con vivir en algún lugar en la ciudad? ¨. Por mi experiencia personal de vivir en las dos áreas, puedo decir que existe mucho para comparar al despertarse en una área un poco caótica y bullosa, a despertarse en un área mucho más silenciosa y un tanto más *pacifica*. Yo he tenido la oportunidad de vivir en los dos lugares por mucho tiempo, pero… déjame decirte que no se necesita pensarlo un segundo para escoger entre los dos estilos de vida.

Para empezar, los alrededores. En la ciudad, es un ara muy ocupada como todos sabemos, hay gran variedad de restaurantes, tiendas, entre otras. Existen bastantes lugares para comprar, comer, ir a charlar con tus amigos y también para caminar alrededor. No necesariamente puedes hacer eso cuando vives tan cerca del ¨monte¨. Existen beneficios de vivir en la ciudad porque existen muchas cosas a la mano. Sin embargo, ¨las montañas¨ son más silenciosas, menos caóticas y siempre es una *aventura*. 

Además de esto, cuando hablamos de la vista que hay, no existe mucho para decir. En la ciudad, solo tienes un edificio tras otro en cada cuadra que caminas, ves personas, carros y motos por doquier. En las montañas, todo lo que ves es eso, además de algunas otras fincas y algunas casas cerca. ¡es grandioso el simple hecho de ver! Puedo hacerlo por horas si tengo la oportunidad, me da una sensación de libertad, algo que no logro conseguir en la ciudad.

Esas son algunas de las opiniones que tengo al respecto sobre dos áreas muy diferentes. Enserio he disfrutado mucho vivir a las afueras y quería darles una pequeña noción de cómo es, me siento un poco más como y tranquilo aquí que en la ciudad. No quiero quitarle nada a las ciudades porque en verdad que disfruto mucho mi tiempo ahí, pero si tuviera que escoger entre las dos, me quedo con las *montañas*.

Muchas gracias por leer y por todo el apoyo, pregunta: ¿Qué lugar prefieres, la ciudad o las montañas? Recuerda que cualquier comentario, sugerencia o idea es bien recibido. ¡Muchas gracias nuevamente y espero verlos pronto!</strong></i>

Muchas gracias por escribir esto. 

I'd very much like to live in the mountains someday. I appreciate that you write your posts in both English and Spanish, as I am learning Spanish.

Great article! Made me think myself, which one I would rather have? I always thought of myself as a city boy, and have always lived in rural places. But now that I got into meditating, I find it hard to find a place to do so. Sometimes I wonder how awesome it would be to meditate in the mountains.
