Hi, I’m Raimee and I want to help you work from anywhere!

When I was 14 years old I was given the opportunity to explore Belize, Honduras, and Mexico with my family. Those trips changed my perspective on life forever and left me obsessed with experiencing new cultures. For years after that, I became clever at finding ways to explore the world, whether it was studying abroad, applying for internships in other countries or finding cheap flights! After I graduated college, though, real life set in.

After 7 years of indulging in other cultures, listening to foreign stories and documenting the world, at last, I was hitched to a desk…

I tried stretching every vacation day, but I soon realized how hard it is to work, live and travel when you commit to a corporate marketing job! That’s when I met Nomadic Matt, the top online travel blogger for budget and solo travel, and he gave me the opportunity to work remote.

Now I want to help you find a remote job and not just see the world, but travel, live and work in it day to day. My objective is to encourage you to explore the world and show you ways to work from anywhere! With my remote work blog and remote work resources as a guide, I hope I can show you all of the remote work possibilities!

👩🏼‍💻NEW JOB, NEW ME! Over the past 3.5 👩🏼‍💻NEW JOB, NEW ME!

Over the past 3.5 years, I’ve been working with the incredible team at @nomadicmatt. This was my absolute dream job for the longest time, but now it’s time for my next adventure! I’ll be starting a 👩🏼‍💻new role👩🏼‍💻 as Content Writer & Community Manager at another company next week (will share more on that soon!) 🎉

I'm extremely grateful to have been part of a brand and business that truly changes lives. Reflecting on my time at Nomadic Matt I've had the opportunity to...

✅ - Help plan and market our first ever travel media conference, TravelCon!
✅ - Lead sessions to hundreds at TravelCon 2018 & 2019, overcoming my fear of public speaking!
✅ - Travel to South Africa & Madagascar and create content with our awesome affiliate partner @intrepidtravel 
✅ - Work remotely from destinations around the world like Paris, Amsterdam, NYC, LA, Austin, Budapest, & more!

Some old favorites from #Madagascar that I never s Some old favorites from #Madagascar that I never shared.

I’ve been spending a lot of time going through and organizing all of my travel photos and I’m feeling very grateful to have seen so much of the world.

I have no clue when we’ll all be able to travel again but I do know this will have us savoring each trip even more when we get the chance.

For now, stay home & healthy friends! If you need anything I’m always here to talk remote work, life, travel, etc!

With everything going on right now, I’m very gra With everything going on right now, I’m very grateful to have a remote job. And it feels weird to talk about anything else. This pandemic is majorly affecting the travel industry - obviously - and I’m sure some of my work will suffer.

However, the ability to work from home all the time, and especially during a time like this, is a huge privilege that I’ve been thinking about all week. Many of my friends and family members are being sent home from work, told not to come in, and haven’t been able to make their projected monthly income due to events being cancelled/etc.

Now might be a great time to start offering remote services if you can.  Regardless of how long this thing lasts, I think having a skillset that allows you to a) work from home and b) obtain multiple streams of income is going to be beneficial no matter what.

Here are some ideas for how you can make some extra cash from home right now:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Create a profile on sites like Upwork, Fiverr, Verblio, Zirtual and/or FancyHands and offer services like writing, virtual assisting, graphic designing, and more.
- Offer up services to friends and family who may need help managing their social media
- Sign up to teach English or tutor online via a service like VIPKid, Chegg Tutors, and Tutors.com
- Review websites online with UserTesting.com or take online surveys with Survey Junkie and make some easy money
- SELL STUFF! Go through your closet and start selling old clothes on Poshmark or DePop or even your instagram page! Also goes for anything you might be able to sell on Facebook Marketplace or Ebay, etc.

On top of those things you can get started with right now, If you want to look for a more longterm remote job, I highly recommend signing up for remote work newsletters through Pangean.com and RemoteWoman.com. They post new remote jobs daily!

Let me know how you’re doing in light of this whole thing. Has your job been affected? Are you currently working from home? How are things for you all?

ARIZONA is now in my top 5 favorite US States! The ARIZONA is now in my top 5 favorite US States! The other 4 are (in no order) California, Colorado, Oregon, Michigan 🙂 - for now!

Last weekend I went on a super fun girls road-trip around Arizona and can definitely say it is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. The reddish orange rocks, purple sunsets, acres of cacti, picturesque canyons, and endless deserts were truly out of this world!!! I loved it soooo much.

We traveled around the state for 3 days, so I wanted to share some of my favorite stops along the way incase you are planning on visiting this incredible state...and if you’re not, you should be!

Sedona: one of the prettiest little mountain towns with tons of cute shops, restaurants, great local beer, and amazing nearby hiking trails. I NEED to go back ASAP!

Page: Here is where you will find the famous Antelope Canyons, Horseshoe Bend, and tons of nearby hikes: Lake Powell Park, Toad Stools, Wirepass to Buckskin Gulch, and sooo many more! You’re really close to the Utah border here as well, so you can check off another state while you’re at it!

The Grand Canyon: we actually didn’t get a chance to visit because the day we planned to go it was raining, but I KNOW this stop is definitely worth it based on everything I’ve seen and heard - I’ll just have to save it for next time!

I’ll share a few more of my favorite AZ pics over the next few days so that if this photo of Horseshoe Bend at sunset hasn’t convinced you to visit, hopefully the next few willl!

Now a little travel life update: I don’t have much travel planned the rest of the year right now, just lots of remote working from California! Luckily there is enough in this amazing state to keep me busy while I figure out where the rest of the year will take me.

But my next and only planned trip right now is to New Orleans in May for @travel_con!!!! Who is coming? I’ll be speaking on the topic of Pinterest Marketing yet again! I hope to see some of you guys there! If you haven’t gotten a ticket yet - you can get $50 off with code: SPEAKER50!

What is “All Abroad”?

This website is intended to show you that it is possible to “do it all” abroad. Every day I get questions about how I can travel so much, how I got a remote job, and how I’ve been able to live in different cities around the world while working.

And the short answer is: it’s not as hard as one might think.

Through a variety of articles, videos, and other resources, I hope to show you that if you want to live life on your own terms and gain location independence by working remotely, you can.

I also aim to offer current remote workers a place to find advice on how to work more efficiently, how to take their remote job on the road, where to find the best coworking spaces, and more! The remote work life can be a lonely one, and a misunderstood one, so I hope this site will be a place remote workers can find someone to relate to.

So, how did I become “location independent”?

After working in an office for 2 years with very little vacation time, I knew I wanted to find a remote job. So I made it happen.

Luckily, my old job helped me learn the digital skills I needed to work online — social media management, Google Analytics & AdWords, Facebook Ads, SEO, email marketing, etc. Then, I sought out every opportunity to get involved in the travel industry and find clients to utilize those skills for.

I plan to write an entire post about the full story of how I got into this industry, but first here are a few of the things you need to know.

1. There is a demand for freelance and remote workers in digital marketing and content creation space. You just have to know where to look and create opportunities for yourself.

2. NETWORKING and going to events within the industry you’re interested plays a HUGE role in creating opportunities for yourself! I HATE networking but I forced myself to do it and I’m so glad I did. I wouldn’t have any of my clients without going to events.

Here’s a list of events you may want to look into attending. Depending on what field you want to get into, I would look up the conferences related to it! They’re often times expensive, but it pays off tenfold after the fact if you do it right:

  • Women’s Travel Fest
  • NY Times Travel Show
  • Women in Travel Summit
  • World Domination Summit
  • TravelCon
  • SXSW
  • Social Media Marketing World
  • Traffic & Conversion Summit
  • 7in7 Digital Nomad Conference

I would do some Google searches for more events in the industry you want to get into!

Second, if you’re interested in remote work in general in order to help you travel more and have a more flexible work environment, I would read this resource page from one of my fave travel bloggers, Jodi: https://www.legalnomads.com/digital-nomads/.

She breaks down all of the places to look for remote jobs, how to become a “digital nomad” and a bunch of other great stuff. I’m working on creating my own resource page like this, but for now, this is as good as it gets!

Third, depending on what you want to do, I would absolutely create an online website/portfolio/blog to showcase your work and even start making money online. If you’ve been thinking about starting a blog or website, Nomadic Matt offers a range of in-depth self-paced online courses that will teach you everything you need to know about making your website your own business. 

This can also help you start small freelance gigs around your area or with friends and family to start — freelance writing, photography, digital marketing, etc.

I did a lot of things for free or part-time at first just to build up my resume and it paid off!

For more details on how to land your first remote job, read my article: How to Get Your First Remote Job!
