"Working remotely during the pandemic was the springboard for my move from California to Texas. I was born and raised in Orange County. I realized that although I love Laguna Niguel, I didn't want to live the rest of my life there. It's beautiful, but once you get outside the city, it's congested, and prices are high. I've worked for Toshiba Business for 13 years, and I've always been fully remote."
"After my employer approved my move, the choice was between Austin (where I had visited before and enjoyed) and Nashville, which I had heard great things about. After traveling to both places in the summer of 2021, I decided to make Austin my home. My decision almost came down to a coin flip Both areas featured all the benefits of city life with a rural feel. Nashville is an amazing city and very similar to Austin."
Working remotely during the pandemic enabled a relocation from Orange County, California, to Texas. The move aimed for affordability, a lifestyle change, and escape from congestion and high prices outside Laguna Niguel. Employment at Toshiba Business allowed full-time remote work, prompting a choice between Austin and Nashville after summer 2021 visits. Austin was chosen for familiarity, amenities like an LA Fitness location, and a blend of city benefits with rural surroundings. Residence in Dripping Springs offered rural charm, lower costs, and access to Austin's vibrant culture. Enjoyment of nature and community contrasts with missing longtime California friends and sports teams.
