More and more people are starting to change their lifestyle by leaving their 9 to 5 jobs and getting a location independent job.
Why commute and be stuck in traffic if you can work at the comfort of your own home or bring your laptop to a cozy coffee shop with a fast internet connection?
Freelancers support themselves financially with their remote jobs while following their passion and doing what they love. I started freelancing in 2012 and I enjoyed the freedom of working from anywhere.
Sometimes I miss being in an office and working with my teammates but having a flexible job is still way better than a desk job because you have control over your life.

Advantages of Getting a Remote Work
1.) No more stressful commute. No more traffic during rush hour. You can just get up from your bed then take a shower and walk to your desk. You can do a 30-minute exercise before you go over your desk if you like. You have more time for yourself.
2.) Work anywhere. You can literally work anywhere you like as long as there’s an internet connection. You can be in a beach resort sipping that cup of coffee while working on your laptop. You can go to another country and spend your dollars in another currency. You’re limitless.
3.) Your own schedule. You can work when you want to because no one is watching. Just as long as you deliver your work on time, then you will have no problem juggling your own schedule. This depends on your job function of course.
4.) Office stress. No office drama and politics. You can work without any distractions because you don’t work with anyone and dropping by your desk.
5.) More family time. Because of flexibility with remote jobs, you can spend more quality time with family, pets, and friends. You can hang out with them more often and it’s great for your mental health.
