I recently made the move from New York City to Oregon, and it was a complete culture shock. I was used to living in a fast-paced, high-stress environment, and Oregon is the complete opposite. It’s a much slower pace of life here, and people are generally a lot more relaxed.
The biggest adjustment for me was getting used to all the nature. In New York, I was used to being surrounded by concrete and steel. In Oregon, there are trees and mountains everywhere you look. It’s really beautiful, but it took some time to get used to.
Overall, I’m really happy with my decision to move to Oregon. It’s a great place to live if you’re looking for a slower-paced, more relaxed lifestyle.
