Love and Remote Work

Looking back, love was the reason why I started working remotely. Not money, entrepreneurship, or a desire to travel the world. Simply love.

I was dating a girl living in Eastern Europe while attending Stockholm University in Sweden, and decided I had to figure out a way to finish my studies remotely so that I could visit her.

A few years later, I think my motivation hasn’t changed much. The digital nomad life helped me launch my career as an entrepreneur while discovering new places, people, and cultures. It gave me the freedom to do what I want, but more importantly, the freedom to be wherever I desire with who I want.

If I miss my friends, I can hop on the next train.

If my family needs me, I will be there.

Wherever I go, I’ll only be surrounded by fools if I choose to. This is an undeniable perk of working remotely: you can just let the Wi-Fi signal carry you from one place to another.

I can be everywhere. I can be anyone. I can chase love whenever it hits me.

In a globalized world, there is no greater tragedy than reluctantly saying goodbye to the ones you love.
