Most people live their lives in big cities, chained to jobs, mortgages, and motor vehicles. It’s a convenient life, but it has nothing to do with what nature evolved the human animal to enjoy. We should be spending 90 percent of our time in nature, but modern life prevents that.
The consequences of our loss of interaction with nature are severe. Many people feel depressed in big cities, wishing they were somewhere else, but they don’t know why. We spend most of our time in front of screens, in artificial environments, and under constant stress which makes us feel disconnected from our ancient roots.
Our biology is the same as it always was, but in the last 100 years, our surroundings have been transformed. As such, we feel a profound sense of loss and disconnect from the natural world. But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can rediscover our joy of being outdoors by making some simple changes in our lifestyle and mindset. Here’s what you should be doing.

Getting citizenship in another country is a challenging and lengthy process. Most countries have strict laws that protect their sovereignty, and citizenship requirements can include language fluency, citizenship tests, a clean criminal record, and meeting residency criteria. The number of visas can be limited, and priority is given to essential skills or family connections.
So that’s why golden visas are so exciting! “Golden visa” is a popular name for citizenship by investment program. It’s a type of residency permit or visa that is granted to foreign investors who make a significant investment in a country’s economy.
The name “Golden Visa” comes from the fact that it is often seen as a golden opportunity for investors to gain access to a country’s benefits and privileges, including the ability to work, live, and travel freely within the country. Different countries have different investment requirements and eligibility criteria for obtaining a Golden Visa, but typical investment options include buying property, investing in a business, or making a donation to a government fund.
But this can still be a lengthy process, so from the application of the form to the processing, companies like Global Residence Index exist to help. Here’s more about golden visas.
