🌿 Why I Left the City to Live in a Village – And Why It’s the Best Decision I’ve Ever Made

For most people, leaving a big city to move to a village feels like taking a step backward.
For me, it was a step toward peace, purpose, and real growth.

Hi, I’m Priyanka – an IT professional, entrepreneur, and digital educator. I spent many years in metro cities studying, working, and building a career. I lived the fast-paced, always-on city life – just like many of you do today. And then, one day, I chose something radically different. I moved to a small village.

Not because I had to.
But because I wanted to.

🏙️ City Life: Fast, Loud… and Empty?

In cities, we chase dreams. I did too. Career goals, client meetings, deadlines, hustle culture – it was all there. But deep inside, I was asking: Is this it? Is this all life is supposed to be?

I was always busy, but rarely present. Surrounded by crowds, yet often feeling isolated. I had “everything” – but not peace.

🌾 Village Life: Calm, Connected, and Full of Purpose

Moving to the village gave me something I didn’t even know I was missing: clarity.
Here, mornings begin with birdsong instead of alarms. People greet you by name, not by email. And the air… it smells like freedom.

But let me be honest – when I moved, I received a lot of judgment:

“Why are you wasting your time in the village?”
“Are you okay? Is this a downfall?”
“You studied so much… and now you’re living there?”

They didn’t understand it. And that’s okay. Because I didn’t move here to impress. I moved here to live.

💻 Working Remotely from a Village: Yes, It’s Possible

What many people don’t realize is: you don’t need a city to build a career.
All you need is a laptop, internet, and a clear vision.

From my village home, I:

Run an online tutoring platform – Onlinetutrio.com
Help clients with digital marketing and website projects
Guide and recruit tech professionals across the globe (remoteittalent.com)
Plan workshops to help rural youth and women learn digital skills

So no, I’m not disconnected.
I’m more connected than ever – to myself, to my community, and to the world.

🔄 Changing the Narrative: Village is Not Backward

My mission now is to break this old belief that village living = no growth.
I want to show:

You can run an online business from a small rural home
You can teach, learn, and earn – all from here
You can inspire and uplift others while enjoying a slower, fuller life

I’m not here to escape the world.
I’m here to build a new one – from the roots up.

🌟 The New Vision: Digital + Rural = Powerful

Imagine if more people returned to villages with their knowledge, energy, and ideas.
Imagine connecting rural India to global opportunities through tech, education, and creativity.
That’s not a dream – that’s a revolution in the making.

And I’m proud to be part of it.

If you’ve ever felt tired of the city, or questioned the “normal” way of living, I invite you to follow my journey. Whether you live in a metro or a village, you can build a beautiful life – one that’s balanced, meaningful, and rooted.
