    Default Rural or Urban?

    Are you a Urban dweller or from a Rural place, did you move to the city from the country or to the Countryside from the city during your life?

    My family come from a a county in Norway which is very sparsely populated(5.81% of Norway's land area, and only 2.21% of country population), i lived in about 26 places before ending up where i live now, 3 or so of them was in rural villages as a child, i came to the city at about an age of 5 years, since then i have lived in various cities in two countries (Norway and England), and i am not planning on moving back to the countryside if i can help it...

    This is close to where my fathers family is from:



    and this is the village my mother is from:



    I grew up here mostly as a child;

    I would classify that as urban, but i guess this differs from place to place...UK and Netherlands is much denser populated then Norway so i guess the grey area is much wider?

    Born in the country, raised in the country and a small town and in later years i've been kind of going back and forth from the country to a town. Now i live in a town but i cant wait till i get to live in the countryside again - when i will build a family.

    I think if i moved back to the country it would only be if i had a family, living alone out there is death, fast lane to the grave...

    I live in a small town. I have been living in cities, but I can't deal with not being able to spot the horizon. And I guess I need to be close to the sea as well.
