Working from home became a new frontier during the pandemic, and many people now feel they could never return to a five day week in the office if they have proven they can do their job just as well from home.
The idea of the ‘digital nomad’ takes working from home to a new level, combining working remotely with travelling. It’s something that travel journalists and influencers have been doing for years, but now people in all sectors can have that opportunity thanks to remote working policies that were developed amid the difficult days of Covid-19.
“It was the best of both worlds!” Becca told RSVP Live. Her job as a social media manager meant that her phone was her key tool in her work anyway, and the beauty of her role is the freedom and flexibility that comes with that. “Australia, and Sydney in particular, was always a location I had in mind. Anyone I knew that lived in Sydney absolutely loved it and I think that’s proven with the amount of Irish people currently living here. I love holidaying in the sun so I have to admit the weather played a huge factor in my decision! There’s nothing quite like spending your days off on the beach, and being promised blue skies,” she said.
“It means that if any of the girls in the Irish office have a task that needed to be done towards the end of their working day, I can pick it up and have it back to them by their following morning - it’s like we’re an unofficial 24 hour office.”
