Was remote before COVID, but pandemic madness and home prices in Toronto had me itching to get out. After 25 years in Toronto I moved 3.5hr drive North to a beautiful city with gigabit internet, lakes and wilderness. I got a house more than twice as big for 1/3 the price of what I sold for. Because of the reduction in personal burn rate, I was able to leave my soul sucking job and join a tiny startup to get back to my roots. It's hard to make friends as an adult during COVID, so there's times when it's lonely for sure.

> After 25 years in Toronto I moved 3.5hr drive North to a beautiful city with gigabit internet, lakes and wilderness. It's wild, I had to move 20ish miles outside of Indianapolis to a town of 200~ people where the closest gas station is 8-10 miles away and I don't get residential mail delivery while being surrounded by corn and soy fields to actually have access to gigabit internet for the first time in my life... scratches head
