What does working remotely mean to me?

I am proud to say that I work remotely for a company called Automattic, a company that prides itself on being distributed across the globe. I love my work for many different reasons, but in a nutshell, because I get to do something I enjoy from essentially anywhere I want to do it from.

Working remotely allows me to pack up my laptop and hit the road. I’ve been lucky enough to work from a number of different exotic locations, and I’ve even blogged about it here. Now, I’m embarking on a new journey that will really put these remote working skills to the test.

My Flash Talk!

Required of all new Automattic employees, is a 4-minute or less, Flash-talk. I gave mine in early October, at the Grand Meetup in Orlando, Florida. 

That talk has just been uploaded, and I am now happy to share it with you! My topic was a shoutout to my adopted home, the Basque Country.

What’s the difference between a ‘Pintxo’ and a ‘Tapa’ ?

I hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think 😜

I’m officially an Automattician!

As some of you may know, I’m proud to say, I started a new job at Automattic last month! It’s been a time of change in my life, to say the least. New job, new house, and of course, an updated blog! 

Yeah, that’s right, Automattic is a distributed company with 775 Automatticians in 67 countries speaking 83 different languages. That means I can work from home, or, I can work from anywhere! Normally, I work from home, but why not take advantage and work from the beach sometimes?
