Why Would You Move Across the Country?

 A lot of people are considering moving from where they are right now. This could be because of the confusion that the virus has caused. Many people are reassessing their priorities and trying to figure out what kind of professional work they want to do, where and experience different things. It's one of the reasons why so many people are considering moving to a place that is better for their mental health, do work that is not always focused on making the largest paycheck, as well as being closer to family and friends. It's quite amazing what this is doing to our society and yet, it's being underreported by the mainstream media for the most part.

Better mental health


People are finding that living in urban environments isn’t always the best way to approach modern life. Would you want to be surrounded by tall buildings and grey streets every single second of your life? Due to the lack of travel options to enjoy the countryside and other leisure activities, people who live in cities and towns are considering their location. The thing is, the lack of access to nature is not good for our mental health and no amount of parks in the middle of cities, drowned in the noises of car horns, footsteps and shouting people, is going to replace this. It's great for our mental health to be close to nature and among it when we need to take life slow and bring it back to the basic goods of life.


No longer afraid


The recent months have put things into perspective. Not many of us are afraid anymore, of making the leap and jumping to another career or profession. Rather than stay where you are, you could embark on a long distance moving to the job of your desire. Just book online, the truck arrives at your home, the professionals help you to move your property and they can cross over to different states. If you find that you would like to take a particular job because it offers you more satisfaction instead of just financial rewards, then you shouldn’t hold yourself back.


Closer to friends and family


One of the things that we have been taught by Covid-19 is that being close to your friends and family is not something to take lightly. Being far from the people who care for you, is mentally unhealthy as we have found out. If you cannot make physical contact with your friends, you can only take so many Zoom chats before you feel like you are talking to figments of your friends in the virtual world. Being close to your support circle is so vital now and that’s one of the main reasons why people are moving across the country.




There’s no doubt that you too have thought about moving during the recent months. This could be due to financial reasons or any of those we have mentioned. To support your mental health, you should do what is right for you.
