I discovered online work in 2011 and have been helping businesses remotely for more than 14 years. My first gig was assisting in planning USAID projects. I then landed a couple of virtual assistant jobs, became the operations manager at an Australian digital marketing agency, and eventually formed my own team of virtual assistants.
In 2016, I caught the digital nomad bug. I packed my laptop, booked a flight to Thailand, and set off chasing both work and adventure. While I was there, I juggled remote work with teaching English to the locals.
I loved the freedom to travel and work at the same time, but like everyone else, I had to hit pause when COVID came along.
