When I was earning more with my part-time job, I decided to resign from my day job and work full time as a freelancer.

One of the best things as a freelancer is that you get to work remotely. Wherever you are, as long as there’s WiFi, you can do your job, earn money and feed yourself. And if you have a flexible working time, you can travel any day and anywhere!
