What is remote work? 💻
Remote work means carrying out work away from an employer’s or organisation’s usual workplace, often using a computer, smartphone and internet connection. It can include paid employment, freelance assignments or voluntary activities. Working remotely does not necessarily mean working while travelling, and not every remote position allows you to work from another country.
Remote jobs, volunteering and work exchanges
Remote opportunities may involve writing, translation, graphic design, fundraising, administration, social media, audio recording or other digital tasks. Some are paid assignments, while others are unpaid volunteering roles with charities or community projects.
A different kind of opportunity is a work exchangeA work exchange is an arrangement in which a traveller contributes an agreed amount of help to a host in return for benefits such as accommodation, meals or learning opportunities.
