Remote Work Europe

Hello all, This weekend, Maya is heading to Tallinn to take part in Hack the Future, taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday next week, an innovation sprint hosted by the brilliant team at Garage48. It’s not just another tech event—it’s about shaping practical solutions to real-world problems, from disaster response to sustainable infrastructure, through cross-sector collaboration. Learn more about Hack The Future here It’s exciting (and a little surreal) to see RWE sitting at that table. We’ve...

Hi everyone, We get asked all the time, how to get started with remote work, how do I find jobs, how do I stand out from the crowd, etc, etc, etc. So Maya thought it was time to offer a service, where you can get one-to-one expert advice, for a full day, to help you to clarify what you need and to get your questions answered. Remote Clarity Day Say goodbye to guesswork. One day. Clear direction. Working remotely or running a location-independent business sounds like freedom — until the...

Hi everyone, What a week. The blackout that swept across parts of Spain brought a sudden, surreal kind of chaos — not just for those directly affected, but for anyone who relies on electricity and internet to do, well, everything. So apologies if this week’s news is a little shorter than usual. We are all freelancers here, and lost at least a day’s work this week. It feels like the catch-up is still taking place. Maya and I were both caught in the thick of it, cut off mid-conversation. She’s...

Hi Reader, ICYMI Maya and I recently did an ‘ask me anything’ call, about our premium paid job search service, and shared some of our most effective processes. A big part of our process? Filtering out the noise — and that noise is growing fast. Entire websites are now being AI-generated to look like real remote job boards. Some are phishing sites built to steal your personal data. Others post “jobs” that never existed in the first place. If you’ve ever clicked a job ad and ended up on a site...

Hi Reader, By now you probably know what happened earlier this month, but ICYMI: Without warning, Maya lost access to her entire Facebook account. Poof. Gone. No appeal button that worked, no real human support, just a locked account and a sickening feeling. I knew that feeling well, because the same thing happened to me a year ago. We were both early adopters of Facebook, initially because we lived overseas far from family and friends back home, so it became a place where our kids grew up...

Hi Reader, Well, what a week it’s been. 24 hours ago, I was getting ready to send you a newsletter asking for help. Our founder, Maya, had been locked out of her Facebook account for more than a week. No warning, no reason given, and despite having Meta Verified status, no working route back in. We tried everything: every browser, device, network, and official form. We verified with credit card, WhatsApp, SMS, and Authy. We followed every help link, filed a data privacy objection, and...
