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.

Growing up in the hustle of a metropolitan city, I always craved to live in the mountains and forest. There was some kind of inner calling since childhood. But, I could never leave the city life because of financial and family compulsions.
Then, five years ago, I realised that I was compromising with my life and went in depression for almost a year. I lost all of my energy and it was very difficult to think what to do. But, then, finally, a day came when I gathered enough courage to listen to my heart and not the fears; and I left everything behind.
Of course, I was also scared while doing it. But, when I reached where I wanted to go, many things started happening on its own. I got a life partner of my dreams (earlier I didn't even want to marry anybody) and also got financial stability, without me doing anything on my part.. Many other good and inconceivable things also happened. And, then I understood what Shah rukh means (in om shanti om) when he says - "Kehte hain agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho, toh poori kainat use tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai" :D

I'm too from India and I too want to get away from my daily life and go to some silent where I can enjoy myself at least once in half an year.
I don´t feel that need, but I love when I'm on the Hills, that peace and healthy environment.
Such drama, you've earned a DRAMA!

🖕That line got to me @firepower. I’ll love to be that closer to nature.

@firepower, The connection between nature and human being is very deep because our roots are integrated with nature and not with materialistic world which we've created our own mess. At the end of the day mother nature is ultimate shelter and home for us which will give the ultimate peace.

Most of us surely do feel this way at some point in life. Sometimes life gets very heavy in NCR or over populated big cities.
