Real stories from remote workers who’ve made the move
When Matthew pulled the plug on the hustle of Southern California and landed in Bloomington, he wasn’t just looking for a change of scenery—he was seeking freedom. “Freedom from traffic, from high costs, from constant stress,” he says. What he found in Bloomington was more than he expected: a welcoming community, a slower pace, and space to breathe.
Thanks to our partners at MakeMyMove, Matthew was able to explore the possibility of relocating and get connected with local resources—including us here at The Mill. We were proud to welcome him through the Bloomington Remote program, offering perks like free coworking, local discounts, and an instant professional network.
Now, Matthew is working remotely, loving the low cost of living, and spending more time on the front porch than on the freeway. It’s a powerful reminder that you don’t have to sacrifice your career to live a life you love.
