Remote Work

As a function of the 2020 pandemic, Remote Work has become a revolution. Companies around the world were forced to reinvent how they did business if they were to survive lockdowns, and millions of people's jobs became remote overnight.

Going forward, many if not most of those companies will continue to operate remotely, allowing employees the option of remote working.

This is evidenced by ever-increasing the number of countries offering remote work visas, enticing newly-minted location independent remote workers to set up shop for up to a year.

Having travelled full-time for 12 years, and continuing to travel for many months of each year (pandemics notwithstanding), my own career is fully remote. I learned (the hard way, most of the time) how to work remotely while traveling, set up make-shift workspaces, file taxes and take care of business online, and much more.

Remote work is here to stay, and you needn't travel full-time (or even long-term) to benefit from the articles I have produced (and will continue to produce) below.
