Large cities and small towns:

Changing locations (by moving from a big city to a small town or a small town to a big city) can be a very complicated decision with many challenges. Some challenges, especially the process of "starting from scratch", can take new arrivals by surprise and can even sour the experience for them. This book will give the future migrant an idea of what could await them in their new home and some strategies for how to deal with it.

The first section of this book looks at the process of moving from urban areas, such as a large city, to more rural areas, such as small towns or farms. It examines some situations you might face, such as potentially fewer services, less/no public transportation, and even missing your old lifestyle. It also includes some strategies on how to handle the move and questions to help you understand the magnitude of the change.

The second section discusses moving from rural areas, such as small towns, to a more urban environment, such as going to university/college or moving to the suburbs. It addresses new situations like making friends, choosing between a vehicle or public transportation, and coping without family. This section includes some strategies on how to handle the move and questions to help you understand the magnitude of the change.

The third section briefly compares these two sides because everyone will miss some aspects of their old life.

This book can also be a bridge by helping people who live in the area understand what the newcomer is going through and maybe make their life easier.
