What I'm looking for

I'm looking for something I can do from anywhere in the world. I'm still living in my home country which is where I would start my remote job, however it has always been a dream of mine to be able to work and travel at the same time, earning enough to fund my lifestyle as I go. Doing such would fill my cup, adding a positive aspect to my life which is something I've been searching for.

I am a quick learner, very organized, punctual, and don't struggle to talk with new people in new environments. I have recently completed a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and have worked in many different career fields.

Throughout all of my job experience I have been required to work with and for people in fast paced and sometimes emotional environments. I have worked with people from many different walks of life, giving me a sense of empathy, resilience and understanding.

Working in the food industry as a waiter and front of house, I have had to deal with unhappy customers quite often and I have learnt how to deal with them in a professional and respectable manner.

I believe I would be a great candidate for a remote job as I have great interpersonal time management and initiative, using these to get the tasks done to a high standard from wherever I am.
