Remote Work Europe

Good morning Reader Living in Spain we love the way the seasons are marked by the fiestas, rolling predictably around the calendar for everyone to enjoy.

Why you don’t want to be THAT remote worker, Reader Back when Maya and I started working this way, it was so rare, that remote workers and freelancers tended to be pretty invisible wherever we were. Today, things are different. Remote work is under pressure in parts of Europe. High rents, local frustration, and shifting policies mean places like Barcelona and Lisbon aren’t as welcoming as they once were. But why limit yourself to oversaturated hotspots?
