Used to live on the mountain, now walking distance from the beach. Spent my childhood winters uphill and summers on the Sound.
It's easier to be alone in the wood. I take mini retreats every month just to get some real silence.
But I love the sea. Just breathing it sets my heart at ease.
My kid brother actually moved to a more rural slice of Hawaii, so he could do something similar. (But with warmer rain)
So yeah. Why not both?
