How living in a tiny German village changed my life

I've been living in a tiny German village for over three years now. This is how my life has been away from the city - the struggles, the loneliness, the simplicity, the freedom, how it really feels to be a young person in a small town, far away from others... It's not that bad!
Simple living in the village has probably been the biggest contributor to my minimalist lifestyle and my interests in financial minimalism too, so those are also things to consider before moving to the countryside! It can definitely be tough but also beneficial in many ways.
Thank you to #analuisany

You are living far fromthe chaotic crowd...blessings sister

[@f4pVLAD]

Thank you for taking us with you on a wholesome trip around your village and sharing your impressions and opinions about a life that is more relaxed and focused on the natural beauty around us.

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hehe, i'm what you called a homebody~. As someone who did grow up in a very rural village and lived her whole life in villages and small towns for me it is actually the complete opposite. I moved into a bigger town, because of work and all and it is really hard. It's loud and sometimes stinky. The people are so ... fast? and sometimes really mean and insensitive. And i don't have much nature hear, the one thing which always helped me to handle my stress. But i slowly adapt~. Like you, at the moment i try to make my home as nice as possible and find ways for me. For example, a week ago i got lost on a walk xD. I was so stressed, but then by pure coincidence i found this cute little animal-park. I was there for 2 hour's just enjoying the goats and lamas and also watching the familys with their children who where interacting with the animals. I saved this place on google maps xD. Life is, what you make out of it. It's hard sometimes, but there is also so much positivity :).

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

I feel for you and I absolutely see where you are coming from! I hope you can find peace where you live now and a way to connect with nature anyway! I think I will never be able to be fully happy without this connection now :) It's really a special thing to get to know as a child and carry with you through life. I love your sentiment about it and I really believe you are going to have a wonderful life with your attitude!

[@mlem6951]

@@AntoniatheUniverse Hehe~, thank you for this nice reply. Also, from youre other answer, i'm also happy everytime you answer a comment :D. Youre videos gave me also a lot of motivation this Year. Because, althought i wrote this, i had a really though year xx. The moving, money problems, health issues, all the good stuff x). Sometimes it was really hard to actually see the good things, but i fortunatly have good friends and i myself i'm quite the reflected person, what can be good and bad at the same time xD. But yeah, what can you other do as move forward and try to do youre best, even when it's just little steps. Whish you a happy new year :).

Right know I am living in a really big city for the first time in my life for a year of studying abroad. And while I see so many benefits of living in the center of a huge city, it can be very stressful, exhausting and overwhelming. It has shown me that I need a calm environment and how much of an influence my environment actually has on me. I that way I have a somewhat similar experience to you

[@RubenDan-bg5xz]

Hello Anna, how are you doing today.

[@arnodobler1096]

As a German, painter and nature lover, i agree with you so much. Especially what you said about how to see things! I live on a great Lake (Bodensee) with a lots of Forests and i love and need it for my health.

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

Thank you for your comment and for sharing your perspective too! It's great to hear that you have the opportunity to live near a beautiful lake and forests! It sounds like you have a wonderful environment to enjoy and appreciate. I wish you many lovely days there and happy holidays!

[@qamstel]

Love your channel Toni! Looking up to you 😊

[@doraivanova5267]

amazing pictures and really nice jewellery, I love this video and the place where you live.

This is beautiful village, where is this place kindly let me know. One day i will visit

[@Vvsilentvlog]

I'm so happy I discovered your channel :>

[@lainthor5808]

Such a beautiful place. I'm thinking of moving to Germany and live in a country side

[@ConsciousOriginals]

You make me want to take up photography! 😀 Such a good way to be more mindful.

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

You should! Just take any photos at first and you'll see how it gets so much better with practice!

[@subliminalmuse]

Looks like some of the little villages in the area where I will move (Bonn)

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

Awesome! Yes, it is in the area. I hope you love your new home!

[@heinzbrommer251]

A really great video. I also moved from a big city to a small village and haven't regretted a minute. If I can't get out into nature one day, I think I'm missing out because there's so much to see and do there. You become a different person.

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

So well said! This is the truth I wish I could just tell others, but it really needs to be experienced. I wish you the best!

[@heinzbrommer251]

@@AntoniatheUniverse I spent the first 30 years of my life in Essen and then moved to a village with 7,000 inhabitants professionally. Many predicted that I will come back very quickly. Now I've been living in this village for 45 years and have never regretted it. Nature around it made me another person. I am much calmer and more balanced I go for a walk with my dog every day and I am always happy to be in nature. Many people don't know what they miss.

[@RubenDan-bg5xz]

Hello beautiful how are you doing

[@Russellviews]

Is that the Rhine River?

[@ronin47-ThorstenFrank]

Is that filmed somewhere near HD? The river looks a lot like the Neckar and the foothills like the Odenwald.

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

Not exactly near, about 2 hours north, but it is very similar here in terms of nature!

[@patriciamillin1977]

I can so identify with this. Although I live in a large city, we have a few nature reserves and parks around. Going for walks in nature gave me a sense if peace. I used to do a lot of photography on vacation, but not so much at home, until I retired. At my retirement party at the office, I was given a DSLR camera, which I now always refer to as my BFF “Cammie”. Photography really does change your view of the world around you. You become much more aware of small details that we so often overlook in our busy daily lives.

[@karthikdev5017]

Village name

[@Kivas_Fajo]

My good old doctor once told me. "If you feel down, if you feel something is missing and you don't know what it is, if you feel blue...go see a tree."

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

So, so true! This is what is missing - our connection with nature.

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

Would you prefer to live in the village or in the city?

[@erakkovaatainen148]

Not city. Too much people. I don't like sozializing. If I ever move from 20 000 people place, it'll be much less then. I was inspired to see your village. Just like my dream place.

[@ivan-107]

I would definitely prefer to live in village like that 🙂

Hello Darling

[@Astrofrank]

This is a very calming and even poetic video. Have you ever tried walking barefoot? That gives you even more sensations.

[@AntoniatheUniverse]

Thank you so much! Yes, I did!! I love walking barefoot and I even bought barefoot shoes, but then I found out my foot structure has been damaged by the concrete and I need special insoles to protect my feet from further damage :( I get a lot of back pain if I walk without them. But you enjoy it for me too, please!

[@Astrofrank]

@@AntoniatheUniverse Unfortunately, some tendon or ligament in my left ankle is irritated due to a foot malposition, so I canot enjoy walking barefoot for more than a few minutes, but before the problem occoured, it was great!
