Fab has had an unconventional journey of his own. He’s from Melbourne, Australia, and recently realized there’s no place like home after traveling to 15 different countries over a 3-year period.

Working remotely was one of the key factors that convinced Fab to start working for himself as a freelance web developer.

And, get this, he did all that traveling while he was working full time as a software engineer for Groupon in San Francisco! His longest stint working remotely was 3 months and all with the blessing of his bosses!

He shares several powerful insights like how to build trusted relationships with your boss, how to make yourself seen when you are away, and how to make sure your co-workers don’t resent you.
