Living in a fast paced, busy, densely populated area can be exhilarating, culturally rewarding and a stimulating experience. Metropolitan cities generally offer great theater, exquisite dining, fashionable events and numerous things to do. You can truly avoid boredom in cities that never slow down, such as Los Angeles and New York City. No matter how much you love living life on the edge, everyone needs to shut down once in awhile and connect with family, friends and nature. Welcome to small town living!

When making a change from living in a metropolitan area to connecting with your inner self in a smaller town, you’ll definitely need to pack a few items that you wouldn’t particularly use much in a large city environment. What would I pack, you say?

• Layered Clothing: Odds are in a small town you’ll have larger, open areas of trees, grass, farm land, etc. Outside temperatures can change dramatically from day to night, and if you relish a hefty hike or a walk in the woods, the weather can go from warm to nippy in no time. Dressing in layers allows you to remove or add various clothing items as needed.

• Versatile, Comfortable Footwear: For a small town atmosphere, you may choose to trade out your gorgeous high heels for a sturdier, more comfortable walking shoe. There are cute, stylish flat shoes on the market for the glamour girl that lives in all of you.
• Thermos/Water Bottle: In a small town you won’t find a fast food joint or restaurant on every corner, so you’ll want to carry a thermos/water bottle with you to keep yourself refreshed and hydrated. Whether you drink water, coffee or tea, a thermos to keep your beverage cold or warm is a wonderful idea indeed.

• Sunscreen/Moisturizer: We all know how important a strong sunscreen/moisturizer is for our skin and our health. In a metropolitan area you may spend a large portion of your day indoors in an office, a mall, a restaurant, etc. With a small town, simpler life, you’re likely to spend more time outdoors, in the sun. Pack a strong sunscreen and moisturizer to keep your skin soft, block out any damaging effects from the sun and simply have fun!
• Fitness Supplies: In addition to gaining more quiet time in a small town, you’ll probably unwind with more time to exercise. Packing an exercise band and a yoga mat will give you the luxury and benefits of exercising while maintaining your peace and serenity at the same time.
• Bathing Suit: Even if you live near the ocean in a large, crowded city, perhaps you were too busy to enjoy a day at the beach, or maybe you didn’t want to deal with all the people and the traffic in a highly populated beach city. In a small town, you can find a relaxing river to wade in or a soothing stream to play in. Put on that bathing suit and be the bathing beauty that you are.

• Books, iPod, Movies: Small town living will slow you down, allowing you more time to read your favorite books, listen to your prefered style of music and watch movies that make you feel alive and good inside.
