About amyfransz

Hi, I'm Amy and I'm a half Dutch, half Indonesian travel addict. I left my 9-to-5 high-paying corporate job at Unilever earlier this year to start living the remote lifestyle. I now run 'The Remote Trip', where we bring together a community of 30 remote workers to live, work, and travel the world together. We also offer "The Remote Starter Kit" where we'll help other people make the transition to the remote lifestyle as well. Check it out at www.theremotetrip.com.
