How I ditched corporate and lived a laptop lifestyle

It all started last 2019 when I embarked on a birthday holiday with my best friend. We were eating at this place called Kynd community, nested in the heart of Canggu, Bali. While going about our heartful lunch, a tech-savvy guy sat beside us. That was the first time I met a digital nomad loves. He was in his comfy beach clothes running his Biz with just his Macbook sipping freshly pressed coffee and munchkin on some vegan burger. He was LIVING THE LIFE.

I was jealous loves! OH SO JEALOUS! It was my first time meeting someone actually LIVING this lifestyle. I had the opportunity to talk to him and he shared how he is able to run his biz at his own time, how he wants it and when he wants to. Remote work was REAL. It was ACHIEVABLE. It was POSSIBLE.

I was so hesitant to come back to the Philippines. It was the most memorable trip for me. It opened my eyes to the possibilities and made me realize what I actually want in life. FREEDOM. The thought just got stuck in my head. I was soo out of alignment with my corporate life. I wanted an escape every single day. I was not happy and I wanted that FREEDOM I saw in Bali. Soo I googled HARD. I looked for remote work that would fit my skills and experience. Four months later, October of 2019, I started working from home under a famous design agency. Location independent. All I needed was a strong internet connection. That was the start of my LAPTOP LIFESTYLE journey.

The possibilities broaden for me as I worked closely with more digital nomads. When COVID hit early 2020, I got to work with more digital nomads and it made me want more freedom and flexibility. Working for a company stilltied me down to soo many restrictions that I wanted out. I was still searching for that FREEDOM I saw in Bali. I ASPIRED that lifestyle. So I took the leap and dropped out of my full-time remote work. Here I am now working full time serving a higher purpose of helping more fempreneurs and coaches start and scale their businesses with the accumulated experience and knowledge I gained over the years.

That's enough about me. Let's hear more about you.
