a world away from
completely different from
If one place or situation is a world away from another, it is very different from it.
Hear it in real life
Is the countryside similar to the capital?
Not at all; it is a world away from the capital.
Life on the island is a world away from my busy office job.
The mistake everyone makes
Not: My village is a world far from the city.
Say: My village is a world away from the city.
The fixed expression is “a world away from,” not “a world far from.”
