Imagine what it would be like to start your work day atop the Alps, zipping across mountains and perfectly blissful scenery, or on a white sandy beach in the Caribbean?
When you have the flexibility to decide on your work location, go to a café with the locals, or work from your Airbnb or a new home in another part of the world, it truly is invigorating.
In a recent FlexJobs survey, nearly 75% percent of professionals stated that they would take advantage of a work-from-anywhere policy if their employer provided it, even being willing to experience pay cuts, give up some of their PTO allowance, and increase their working hours if required in exchange for location freedom.
While we already know that working remotely offers numerous benefits to one’s productivity at work and mental health, reporting from another location can be even more beneficial. A change of scenery through traveling and exploring the world can be an experience all on its own that enables you to feel happier and more energized for work and even save money (some countries are tax havens or have lower costs of living).
But how do you even find remote jobs that allow you to work from anywhere?
After all, finding fully remote work is tricky, but finding one that does not restrict your precise location is even more challenging. Most companies impose country-specific remote job requirements to comply with local and regional labor laws or to be closer to one of their offices if necessary.
The first, most obvious way to identify remote jobs that allow you to work from anywhere worldwide is to Google “remote jobs anywhere.” This will bring up a list of search results within job boards, some of which will be relevant to what you are looking for.
Another way to find location-flexible remote jobs is to look for freelance work. This is perhaps the easiest way to identify these roles, as much of freelancing involves freedom to work within your own hours and schedule, as well as your own location, and minimal supervision from your client. For example, ProBlogger, a freelance job board for freelance writers, has listings that are remote, with many suitable for digital nomads and those working outside of their client’s main country.
Finally, you can find work-from-anywhere remote jobs by browsing the “work anywhere in the world” page of We Work Remotely, searching WorkInStartups.com for remote start-up jobs that allow you to work from multiple locations, and even checking out Y Combinator’s remote jobs board, which has some good listings there as well.
Let’s take a look at some examples of remote jobs currently hiring across these platforms (some employers are very small businesses as well):
All you need to do now is to dig around different niche websites, including start-up and freelance job boards, to identify a unique role that is not getting swarmed by hundreds of other applicants compared to remote jobs traditionally advertised on popular sites such as LinkedIn.
Soon enough, you will discover your dream remote job and be able to work from anywhere in the world.
