Coming from a small town, you're used to seeing someone you know every time you leave your house, it takes five minutes to get anywhere, and there is no such thing as a secret. It seems as if the people who are trapped in such little spaces are the ones that strive to see the world the most. Here are a couple signs that you might be one of them:
1. You attempt a hip Instagram
Although you might have not the coolest things to take pictures of, you make sure you edit them all perfectly on VSCO, so that your feed makes your life look at least somewhat interesting.
2. You ask for vacations instead of gifts
Why ask for a gift card to one of the five restaurants in town when you can ask to go explore somewhere you have never been?
3. You love the city
Having the city just a two-hour train ride away is convenient and usually the only thing you look forward to after you buy your ticket. The feeling of being in a big city where no one knows you is the best escape.
4. You've been farther than anyone else from your town
Being known as the world traveler that takes advantage of every break makes you feel like you should be living somewhere bigger and better.
5. You want to move away
A small town girl with a desire to travel needs big opportunities, and those just don't seem to come by in a little farm town. The cornfields might be all you've known for the past twenty years, but you can decide what you expose yourself to for the next twenty.
