I’ve lived in 10 countries. I first moved abroad at 18 to learn German, and I’ve embraced the global nomad lifestyle ever since.

I’ve volunteered in India, taught English in Syria, worked at the European Parliament in Belgium, and soon I’ll be relocating from Britain to Uruguay. I work remotely as an expat blogger and life coach.

As travel restrictions start to ease, I’ve heard many people say they’re considering a switch to working remotely from another country. A recent survey by the expat network InterNations showed the most popular countries for expats are Taiwan, Mexico, and Costa Rica.
