I am a city girl!

my 8 year old niece asked me the other day would i go with her camping... i told her, "i love you, but there is no plausible explanation why i would want to be somewhere that has sketchy bathroom accommodations, and no WiFi connections."

she says, "we can get an RV!"

I said,"we might as well stay home!"

"it will be FUUUUUN!"

"No cable when camping. which means no Hannah Montana."

And that is how I escaped going camping!
_____________

To get away, I travel. I go to Mexico and Miami a lot. Gotta be near the water!

I love to visit big cities, but can't wait to get back to the country. I live in a teeny tiny town on the Sacramento River and love the slow pace and peaceful surroundings.

If I HAD to pick, it would be country!

City girl, for sure.

Once again, I'm with Asia. Recently I was invited to a camping trip, too. I had to dodge that bullet. I had asked,"Is there a cabin with separate rooms and running water?" The reply was,"No, that's not real camping." My answer was, "Well, I'm not going. Roughing it, third-world style is NOT my idea of vacation. My current lifestyle is more comfortable." Geez, chances are, I would come back more exhausted than when I left!

No offense to the country girls here. I'm just a city girl, that's all. I'm a true urbanite.

Ha!!!

that's not real camping....

i KNOW i'm not going to sleep in the woods with mosquitoes (disease) and spiders (my only fear) and potential bears and cougars and sh*t!

(shakes head) it ain't happening!

can you imagine being out there and you period comes a week early! no running water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy!

totally the country, live in small town (like 3000 people) in 'outback' australia. i love it. i was born and raised in the city but moved to the 'bush' for work and i can't ever imagine moving to a city again. we are moving next year but only small places are on our list of places we want to get work in.
btw, being 'country' doesn't mean roughing it. it means no traffic, saying hello to everyone you meet (and knowing most of them), being able to walk everywhere, leaving your house unlocked and knowing it won't get broken into, being able to leave at the time you are supposed to be somewhere and still arriving on time. i have had more fun and done more 'stuff' since moving out of the city 7 years ago.

I love both!

I'm a suburbs girl, split the difference! I lived in a big city for awhile but I've returned to my roots in the 'burbs.

both

I like big cities.

i admire small towns where you can leave your doors unlocked and have nice neighbors. I've lived in places like that.

But i need to be where things are poppin'.
I need shopping, i need a semi-chaotic environment.

i didn't like that my neighbors knew when i was coming and going. Or that when you shopped, you would find someone else wearing the same sh*t. or having to drive to the next city to even go shopping (That's how bluefly and net-a-porter became my best friends). and social life?? i just like to have my business just that- MINE.

when i moved back to L.A i almost had a tear when i got stuck in 405 traffic coming from LAX!

I'm in between. I grew up in a suburban area and also went to school in suburban area and had a love/hate relationship with it. I thought I was always a country girl, but now that I moved to NYC, I absolutely love it! I love the hustle and bustle and how alive the city is. There is always something to do and see. I can just walk out my front door and I know there will always be tons of people around me.

i'm a city girl

but i don't mind living in a country for a while
a week maybe

City.

I don't hate people, but I would hate feeling obligated to say hi to every person I saw or getting stuck in a conversation when I was on my way somewhere.

I love my friends, but I don't need to be around them all the time. When summer vacation comes, I'm fine with being by myself for three months. And in the city you're surrounded my people and white noise, but you still get alone in the middle of a crowd.

I'm a city girl. It's fun to go out in the country once in awhile, but it feels so isolated and boring to me. I'm always dying to get back in the city after a few days in the country.

ha. My BF always makes fun of me for being such a city girl. (Hes a good ol' country boy) I am pretty much a city girl down to the core. Though as a kid, I did spend most of my summers in the country on a farm as all of my dads family owns and operates farms. It was a fun escape as a child, but I am a city girl!

Born and raised in Hollywood, but I can backcountry in the middle of nowhere with no one around for weeks.

I love the convenience of the city. I haven't owned a car in 8 years, and I love it!
That said, I appreciate the country. I love camping (real camping), and there is nowhere more peaceful and serene than going out west to a national park with a tent for a week. But that's it -- after a week, I want to come home to my major transportation system, 24 hour drug stores, condo across the street from a Whole Foods, and real nightlife.
I dread the day when my husband makes me pack up and move to the suburbs...

i have lived in the south my whole life and never been to a city but i hope i can go vist a city when i get older but i will always be a country girl .

I'm a city girl always and forever. I just can't picture myself in the county. I like to visit my family that live in the county because it is so picture and quite, but I like the hussel and the bussel of the city.

city. my girls were talking about camping and i brought up the great outdoors restroom. now they think camping is "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww!" thank god. maybe we'll go to a cabin one day and get a woodsey feel. (i'm also afraid of bears).

Country!

Country as in no neighbors for miles and all you have out in your yard with you is nature, wind, your dog, and your gun in case, of course, something wild attacks.

My Dad always said to me that if you can't breathe the air up here (Northern MN) then you might as well not breathe anywhere.

city girl. so much so, that i probably couldn't date someone that preferred the country over the city.

i think it depends on where you grew up or where you were raised. i feel like as a child, you naturally grow attached and feel a sense of comfort from what you were exposed to right from the start.

City girl through and through. I grew up in a small town and hated every minute of it - everybody knows your business, there's only one (badly stocked) library (that was pre-Amazon), no sushi or thai restaurants. I love the city for the reasons other posters stated - anonymity, culture, availability of exotic foods, no need for a car. I also hate the amount of work that goes into living in a house - a condo/aparment is a lot easier to maintain.

City girl. I love the energy and anonymity. The bigger the city, the better. In the country I feel like I'm stranded on a desert island. I hate having people poking around in my business. And I don't like driving. I have a license and can drive in a pinch, but I don't want to live in a place where it's necessary to own a car.

city girl

Definitely a city girl. I could not survive in the country or the suburbs.

City, for sure. I like camping and going to the country to get away occasionally, but mostly I love having so much so close. It's an exciting place to be, for sure - going anywhere in the city you come away with some stories. Good, bad, weird - but never boring!

Suburban which is close to both country and city, much like it is in many European countries. My husband is from Friedberg which is some 30-40 minutes by train, with patches of countryside in between, to Frankfurt, the financial city (i.e. the New York) of Germany.

I love both! I live in the big city of Oklahoma(which most people not from here don't think exists) and I love the metropolitain fast- paced lifestyle, but I love getting away from it sometimes too! It is always fun to get out on the lake or ride 4 wheelers on the land and come back for home cooked meals too!

i'm a country girl the city is find to visit but i love coming home to Vermont. where i know i can take a 5 min walk and not see a person.

Country girl, and love it! To me, there's nothing that compares to seeing nature up close everyday, it's so peaceful and relaxing. To sit out on the deck every night and watch the raccoons come up just a few feet away to eat. After living in cities most my life then moving to the country- I'll stay in the country.

I really like both. Right now, I live in a pretty big suburb of NYC. I grew up in the country. I miss dumb things like being able to look at the stars at night or hearing crickets and stuff when I open my windows and go to bed. I also love the city though. I love how's there's always things to do and it's always so busy.

I'm just trying to figure this out right now. I've lived in both and I love both for different reasons.

I decided the ideal place for me to live is in a city small enough that I can afford a house with a yard and still walk downtown. There has to be a university nearby for intellectual stimulation etc.

Any ideas ladies?? :)

I like the idea of living in the country, but the reality of it not so much.

100% country girl!! love the country, the city life stresses me out. I like what the city has to offer but I couldn't live there by any means.

I am by all means a CITY GIRL!! I thought I could appreciate country life, until I moved off to college in a small country town. It was terrible...it only took 10 minutes to walk across the whole town, and there was NOTHING there aside from the campus, besides Wal-Mart. When I stay at my friends' trailer she has at a lake, there are no sinks or anything in the bathroom, and bugs everywhere wherever you go. Plus I am paranoid and if I lived in the country I'd wonder how long it'd take for someone to realize I died in my house b/c neighbors are like 2,000 miles apart. And it always takes so long to get to the country and the roads are creepy. I definitely need the city!

I'm a city girl by birth.. but I want nothing more than acres and acres of land in the middle of nowhere, away from people.

It depends on my mood. I appreciate both the city and the country. I honestly prefer "small" big cities, like Portland OR. They have that big city feel, but everyone is really friendly like they would be in the country.

I'm more of a city girl, but I can appreciate the beauty and openness of the country. Besides I CANNOT STAND BUGS!

There was the possibility that I was going to move to a city that only has 100k people in it for a while and I started FREAKING OUT wondering if I could stand it there.
