What Can You Do as a Digital Nomad or Virtual Assistant?
I found my way into virtual assistance after many years of working in admin. Early in my career, I was lucky enough to have a mentor who assured me I couldn’t possibly damage the computer I was working on(!).

There are also a few glimpses of life here on the incredible island of Crete, because that’s part of the story too.
