Remote Profile: Adelaida Diaz-Roa — Remote Year

I decided to come on Remote Year because I was already traveling and working remotely which I LOVED… but when I saw that I could join a community of like-minded people, it was perfect. Traveling on your own is sometimes too much of a hassle and effort to be making new friends all of the time and to be planning accommodations and flights, with Remote Year it’s like we’re traveling with an amazing family and everything is pre-planned for you. All you have to do is enjoy it 😉

 

HOW DID YOU FIND YOURSELF A REMOTE ROLE?

I’ve had remote roles since my freshman year in college (aka, since I ever started working). This current role was a lot of great timing and people. The latest company I joined (Ruffit) had gotten to a good enough spot to leave and our investor, Daniel Chavez, is amazing and wanted to help with my trip which is how I ended up with my role at VIVRI. For the Travel Habits company, we’re just now starting up because why not make your hobbies your job? 🙂 

 

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON FOR THE YEAR?

I got a great sponsorship from VIVRI, a healthy lifestyle company. I’m currently taking pics for them around the places we go to with their delicious products and helping with social and sales since they’re expanding into new markets this year like the U.S. and Colombia.

I’m also very excited to be working on our latest venture (started with a fellow remote, Julie Friedenberg) which is going to be focused on staying healthy while working remotely. We’re going to have travel guides, health tips, and digital nomad tips along with complimentary gear for sale. Check us out at www.travel-habits.com for awesome stuff! 😉
