Remote Rebellion Retreat: Thailand- February 2024
A 2-week life-changing experience exploring the highlights of Thailand and learning everything you need to secure remote work, get out of the rat race and design your dream life.
If you want to work remotely, but you’re busy working 50+ hours a week in a stressful job, there’s not much time to stop and think about what it is you really want, let alone time to create a strategy and take action!
That’s where Remote Rebellion Retreat comes in. First, you’ll explore Bangkok, then rest and recover with a digital detox on floating huts on a lake surrounded by jungle and mountains. Then, together with me (Michelle), we’ll work on establishing what you want (from work, from life), create a strategy and timeline, and take action to enhance your profile and connect you with people who will make your dreams a reality.
With over 9 years of recruitment experience and almost 3 years helping senior professionals land their dream remote jobs (freelance/full-time), I’ll empower and enable you to reach your goal of working wherever the hell you want!
The Nomad Escape: Madeira, Portugal- April 2024
Now once you’re set up to work remotely, it’s time to connect with other remote workers in this one-week coworking and coliving retreat.
This is for those considering setting up your own business and there’ll be workshops on entrepreneurship and mindset improvement.
I joined this retreat in February 2023 and it was life-changing for me. I got so many ideas for my business and I connected with those I was on the retreat with and have collaborated on projects and even made lifelong friends.
NomadÉire: Ireland, August/September 2024
Now when you think of digital nomading you don’t usually picture Ireland. I thought the same. That was until I attended NomadEire in August 2023. Set place in Kerry, arguably the most beautiful county in Ireland this is way more than just a conference, it’s a cultural immersion.
One of the things I loved about Nomad Eire was the amount of Irish people there and the activities organised to show you a taste of Irish culture. I made friends here who I feel I’ve known for years!
This is a great way to see a bit of the country, learn a lot from the speakers and really immerse yourself into Irish history and culture.
You may be thinking… “These retreats are too expensive.”
Sure, if you think happy memories, adventures, best friends, inspiration, ideas, and life-changing experiences are not worth investing in, you’d be right…
I’ve spent thousands of pounds/ dollars/ euros over the years and I don’t regret a penny of it because the money has come back to me. I invested in myself and it paid off x100!
Do you think you’re worth investing in?
