Where we lived last, the nearest walmart was 4+ hours in any direction. We literally lived in the middle of no where. This town was a HUGE upgrade and people complain... but it does have everything, including a big city just a few hours away round trip.
Sometimes I wish I lived in the middle of nowhere.
I would probably miss some of these amenities but I'm sure I could get the mindset right. I'm kind of a hermit right here in this large metro area.
If I move to Costa Rica, it will be to the middle of nowhere. Probably high in the Talamanca Mountains.
