I can totally relate! Even though I live on the island of Phuket, which is quite noisy, lively, and filled with tall condominiums, I’m lucky to be in a small, quiet neighborhood surrounded by a banana plantation. I also have to be careful when I visit the nearby Buddhist temple because it’s not uncommon to come across a snake along the way!
I actually like that, when you are in the midst of a lively place and yet you have your own cozy corner where you can be all by yourself
