Things You Should Know Before Moving to My Town
By DDF and S

A town of outstanding natural beauty with its forest land, incredible lakes and huge mountains, it’s not difficult to understand why anyone would want to come for a visit or even move here.

When doing any, it will unavoidably be the door to happiness and full life.

People in my city tend to be self-reflective, not really keen on starting a conversation. In fact, it’s not unusual to walk into a restaurant full of people, for example, and be greeted with a hello, followed by an extended smile and look, and then everybody going back to their thinking.

Some people who have had the experience to live in my town claim that they, at some point, felt that residents here may sometimes pass as unfriendly or disinterested, but it isn’t the case. Normally, people here only talk when they have something important to say; meaning that people here wait for visitors to express what they’d like to know about our beautiful town – and that’s it! It’s the triggering for long and nice talks.

Most of my townland is covered in forest, marvellous landscaping. It has several rocky areas by the lakes, some connected to small rivers, and quick and easy access to nearby towns, to which the liking for beauty and peaceful life is shared!

Weather is not a problem here. Anyone coming here at any time of the year will have the opportunity to experience all kinds of weather, from hot days to cold ones, but there’s nothing to worry about, whatever the weather may be like next day, it won’t be drastic changes or extreme climate conditions, experiencing all types of weather happens smoothly and becomes a pleasant adventure!

So, still in doubt to come for a visit!!!
