Sea change

Often on my walks I talk about how I used to live in London, Sydney etc. I really enjoyed myself, living the dream, working in the media, going to fab parties, eating out, shopping, travel, clubs etc. But there came a moment when I realised that I'd had enough and need a change - I needed to slow down, I needed less clutter in my consciousness.

So I sold my flat moved to Byron Bay and started my bush walking business. When I talk to people about it they say how brave I am for taking steps to making a better life for myself. I don't think I'm brave, I was unhappy and the only person who could change things was me. So I really wonder if given a clean slate how many people would leave the city for a slower less cluttered life. I have put a poll on my blog "If given the opportunity would you prefer to live: in the city, by a lake, in the mountains or by the sea." It would be great to know what you think.
