Hey remoters,

It's Samantha from AllThingsRemote, currently in Split, Croatia 🇭🇷 (shortly flying to Barcelona via Munich, so I’m in full nomad mode today)

Whether you’re new to remote working or years deep into this lifestyle, there is always something new to learn. Get stuck into edition #9 of the AllThingsRemote collection of resources and news pieces, that have been collated and curated just for you!

Resources for Digital Nomads & Remote Workers:

1. Discover the latest trend of creating collaborative workspaces with friends - home co-working and how it's changing the remote work landscape.

2. Ireland takes a step forward in protecting remote work with the passing of the Work-Life Balance Bill, which grants the right to request remote or flexible work for parents of young children or carers and is expected to be followed by a Code of Practice for companies. This move could set an example for other nations to follow suit in prioritizing work-life balance for remote workers.

3. Have you discovered a simple yet effective way to reduce your carbon footprint as a digital nomad and remote worker? Here are 5 apps that can help you understand your environmental impact and allow you to offset your daily carbon emissions, taking a step towards a more sustainable future.

So many places to explore but don't hit the road without travel insurance! Get covered with SafetyWing - made by nomads for nomads. You can purchase a policy anytime and pause/resume coverage flexibly. It’s awesome!

Fun fact of the month 🤓 Over the weekend, I travelled to Solta, a sparsely populated island in Croatia, with only 2,050 residents. While there, I conversed with a retiree who rarely leaves the island. Surprisingly, he asked me if I was a digital nomad — I left the conversation very shocked that such a term was being used on SUCH a remote island.

That’s it for now!
