A Very Happy Christmas & End of Year Celebrations Message from Manuela & Reflections on 2021
Looking back at the year 2021, my first year working remotely as an Online Marketing & PR Strategist for ClickDo Ltd. and SeekaHost Ltd. full-time, I had some wonderful moments, enjoying freedom and the digital nomad lifestyle despite restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Here are some impressions of my 2021 as a digital nomad & my takeaways: How it all started: My daily life now: working, learning and exercising from home: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Manuela Willbold (@manuw_blogger) I recognise the importance of eLearning and remote learning and cover such topics regularly: I also exercise daily while I work in London or UK hotels: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Manuela Willbold (@manuw_blogger) But I do treat myself while blogging and writing: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Manuela Willbold (@manuw_blogger) And it is rewarding and motivating when the work you do receives recognition: I have been more invested in offering UK Businesses guest posting opportunities on the Blogs I write for: And attend more business events like the Business Show 2021 at London ExCel where I spotted interesting home office options: I also attended the UK Black Business Week in London to cover very interesting insights into business financing: As a digital nomad I visit and write about Co-Living Spaces: Wherever I work from I look for opportunities to swim, exercise and use a sauna and steam room: Summer is my favourite time of year: whenever I get a break from the laptop, I enjoy the sun, sea and the best beaches in the UK: Working on a computer all day long: I realised how important movement breaks are at the home office and have added a standing desk, an exercise bike and yoga equipment to my home office: Especially during the lockdowns I understood the impact of being restricted with moving freely and this is reflected in this short video by photographer and videographer Petra Eujane: Final verdict of 2021: It’s been a year full of flexible yet hard work that challenges but equally fulfils me and I look forward to more remote working perhaps outside the UK in 2022 as a digital nomad.
