When covid hit I was already working remotely as a freelancer for a while. My SO on the other hand was going to the office in a big city. In June 2020 when it became clear that she was going to work from home for an extended period of time, we bought a house in a remote place and we've been living there since. The house itself is small but we both have our dedicated 8m2 "office" which is key in my opinion. Internet is 4G only so I built a Linux router with a good modem and high gain antennas, it has worked wonderfully for remote work even if the latency is not amazing. We both love nature and the ability to just step outside and go for a walk in a nice landscape whenever we feel like it is amazing. Back in the big city we needed to drive one hour to get away from the concrete.
