The country. I grew up on a small farm near a tiny village, about an hour outside of a small town of about 4000 up in Northern Ontario. The nearest neighbour was at least a mile, my nearest friend about 15 miles, and the nearest store about 20 miles. I grew up being able to run around outside, whenever, however, with no curfews, and not too many rules. We lived on a river with access to two sizable lakes, and we were surrounded by forest and wild animals. I couldn't count on one hand the number of times I woke up to the dog barking, opened my eyes, and saw a bear watching me through the window from up a tree. Or a porcupine. As for quiet, it was never really quiet, all the crickets, and bugs, and animals about. We even had our own bear, a Big old male that use to pass through behind our house every year around the same time. We had a small barn, with a few horses, dogs, cats, and sometimes a cow or two. It was a great time, and I miss it dearly. There is nothing like being able to wake up, walk outside, and not see a single soul.
