I’m from Chicago, and I’ve lived most of my life there. Recently I’ve moved to a small town in California. There are big differences between the two cities, for example, life in Chicago is more agitated than the life in the country. It’s also noisier  and more expensive. In a small town things happen in a slowly way and it’s also quieter.  But here I work as much as I used to work in Chicago. Maybe even more!

I already have many friends in my new town! People here are friendlier than in Chicago, and my social life is as busy as it used to be, but it’s healthier. Instead of going out with my friends to pubs and clubs,  we go to parks and other activities outdoors.​
