Global Career: Earn From Anywhere Newsletter |
Hey Reader!
What if all it took to build an 8-figure remote business was a laptop, a journal, and the courage to book a one-way ticket flight?
In my TEDx talk, I unpack the real story behind how a one-way trip to Europe reshaped my career, my mindset, and what success looks like to me today.
That one decision set everything in motion; new countries, new skills, and eventually, a remote career I could run from anywhere. And now, I share what I’ve learned along the way.
​
The journey was a whirlwind of soaring highs and crushing lows, and in my TEDx talk I laid it all bare, nearly breaking down on stage.
Let’s start with the travel wishlist. I rounded up six underrated digital nomad hubs that are just starting to buzz. Think of surf breaks in Siargao, designing cafés in Melbourne, and cityscapes in Taipei that haven’t hit your Instagram feed yet. These are the spots you’ll want to explore before they blow up.
Prefer to work near the waves? I also found 14 of the best beach house rentals in the U.S. that double as dreamy remote offices. From black sand beaches in Hawaii to private pools in Florida, this list proves you don’t have to choose between getting paid and getting sun.
This week’s job picks are strong. Whether you’re managing data teams, creating scroll-stopping visuals, or crafting killer social strategy, these roles offer high pay and full freedom. You don’t have to wait for the “right time” to start working differently, just the right opening.
Let's get started.

If those remote roles got your wheels turning, you’re in the right headspace, because I’ve lived that leap. I went from a small-town kid with a dream to building an international career from my laptop. If you're wondering what it looks like to trade the 9-to-5 for freedom, flexibility, and a whole lot of passport stamps, I shared my full story in this TEDx talk.
