I live in a town of 25.000 people and really I only go to the big city/head office for meetings and social activities. I think this is a growing tendency in our business, live anywhere, work anywhere... as long as you get the job done. The truth of the matter is, I get a lot more done in my home office than elsewhere in spite of not having an electric table, whiteboard etc. I’m one of those corporate developers in a mid-sized firm.

That's why I live in Porto Alegre, one of the major cities in Brazil. I was born in a not so small city, around 160.000 inhabitants. I really like it there, without the daily craze, and for that matter, many other smaller towns in the southern region. The *only* thing that prevents me from going to live in one of this smaller towns is the fact that I know I wouldn't be able to find a job nearly as interesting as the one I have now. Mind you, I'm not building any rockets here, but it is something that is both challeging and rewarding, for the most part. But in the end, I know I won't live here to the end of my days. One can only hope someday I'll get a nice job and be able to work from home, or something, and then be able to get the best of both worlds.
