Hi Reader

Work smarter from anywhere (+ 7 NEW remote gigs below)...

Something I’ve been noticing more and more lately – especially talking to remote workers, freelancers and travellers – is that the people making this lifestyle work long-term aren’t necessarily working more.

They’re just working differently.

They’re finding ways to save time, simplify decisions, and remove friction from everyday tasks.

And it adds up.

A few small shifts can mean finishing work earlier, feeling less overwhelmed, and actually enjoying where you are – instead of constantly catching up.

Over the Easter weekend, I ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole testing different ways to do this myself… and it turned into something quite fun!

I pulled together a short, practical training: Work Smarter Anywhere – 7 AI Strategies for Remote Workers, Freelancers & Digital Nomads

It’s not technical or complicated – just simple ways to think clearer, work faster, test different ai to see what works for you, and take some of the pressure off day-to-day work. Click below to find out what's inside to see if it might be valuable for you :)

Pet Sitting 101

2026 must-know essentials

In our last e-news we shared a new video about house sitting + safety.

We had a huge response to it and that inspired us to create, or rather, update, something else over the Easter weekend.

e-book: Master House Sitting Essentials – 2026 update

This is our popular House Sitting Essentials e-book but rebooted for now!

It’s a simple, practical guide if you’re getting started or just want to understand how it all works before jumping in. We've also included an up-to-date list of where you can find house sits around the world.

Exploring the UK

A Manchester hotel worth knowing about

This week’s video is a hotel review rather than a work tip – and a good one if you love stylish stays, city breaks, or simply want to see what one of Manchester’s most iconic hotels is really like.

There's plenty of amazing places to pitch up with your laptop here and work too, FYI ;)

In this review, we take a closer look at the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel Manchester, including the feel of the property and whether it lives up to the hype. If you’re planning a UK trip or just enjoy travel inspiration, this one’s worth a watch.

Should you visit Manchester for work + play, and would you stay here?

Freedom ListGet Remote Jobs Here | Live & Work From Anywhere. Hi Reader Better House Sits Start With One Conversation One of the busiest discussions in our Facebook group this week wasn't about where to house sit. It was about communication. The question was simple: "Are daily pet photos a reasonable expectation?" More than 90 people shared their thoughts in under a day. Some homeowners love receiving daily updates and photos. Others are happy with a quick message every few days. Likewise,...

Freedom ListGet Remote Jobs Here | Live & Work From Anywhere. Hi Reader One thing I’ve noticed in our Facebook group lately is that although things are a little quieter than peak season, house sits are still popping up. And that’s important because a lot of people assume that by mid-June they’ve missed their chance for summer travel. In reality, many homeowners are only just finalising plans for July and August. Travel dates change. Family plans shift. Work trips come up unexpectedly. Pets...
