Join Us on Our Journey
Hi. We’re the Browns. In the winter of 2019, we moved from the bustling life of a metropolitan city to a small town three hours north. We downsized our home, simplified our way of life, and started afresh, determined to live with less stress and a more carefree approach.

On Getting Used to the Local Way of Life
It’s funny the changes that happen when you make a move from the city to a small town. Some, you immediately expect – less shops, less restaurants, less traffic. Depending on your previous like or dislike of these things, these changes can be minimal (or big). Then there’s the school routine. Whereas it used to…
