I grew up going to White Mountains in New Hampshire. That's where I would go on vacations in the summer and winter. Growing up hiking and being surrounded by woods and not much going on towns made me collect peaceful and great memories.

As you all know by now, I spent four months in London studying abroad. London is bigger than New York City and has so much going on. I recently went to the Berkshires for a graduation party and being in a desolate kind of area made me realize how much I miss being in the country and soaking up its peacefulness. Here are 3 reasons why people should go to the country part of their state.

1. It's Calming

I mean look at this view. This is so calming. Who wouldn't like this?

2. No Hustle and Bustle

Mountain towns tend to be less hustle and bustle than cities.

3. Relaxing for the mind

Being in the mountains or countryside is very relaxing for the mind. It makes you stop and take in nature for a bit. You most likely do not have to worry about the craziness in your day to day life.

What comes along with relaxing for the mind is that you can hike some pretty amazing trails. You can act free from responsibilities for a little while. hey, you might as well meditate or do some yoga to be one with nature. Whatever it is, go to the mountains or countryside because you mind and body deserve a mental break from everything that you do. You owe yourself to be relaxed at least for a little while. it's good for the mind and body.
