A few years into my legal career, I started craving something more – more freedom, more flexibility, and more fulfilment in both my work and personal life. The idea of working from anywhere sparked my curiosity. But back then pre-pandemic a “remote lawyer” sounded like a fantasy. Flexible legal roles were rare, and traditional office culture reigned supreme.

Then the world changed.

The pandemic gave us all something we didn’t expect: time. Time to reflect, reset, and reimagine what we wanted from life and work. For me, it was the perfect moment to start planning. I didn’t have a roadmap – just a strong desire to align my legal career with a more adventurous and flexible lifestyle.

I moved to Dubai – because, honestly, why not? It was bold, spontaneous, and exactly what I needed. As cliché as it sounds, the pandemic reminded me that life is short and the world is wide, and I was determined to swap my court shoes for flip flops 🩴

Once in the Middle East, I started sharing more lifestyle content on Instagram. Friends and family had been urging me for years to start a blog, so I finally launched The Glampacking Lawyer – a digital space to share travel insights, legal life hacks, and photos from my journeys across 75+ countries. I found myself writing late into the night, pouring passion into every post. What started as a creative outlet quickly became a core part of my identity.

At the same time, I upskilled and launched Online Law Hub – my own legal tech business offering affordable, user-friendly legal solutions. 🚀 It was a huge learning curve, but also incredibly liberating. Suddenly, I was reviewing contracts in Zanzibar, advising clients from the Maldives, and growing a business that aligned with my values.

What’s Next?

In early 2024, I joined Aatos – Finland’s leading personal legal platform, often described as the “Netflix of Legal Services.” As their Legal Counsel, I now help shape the future of digital legal services while working fully remote. It’s a role that blends everything I love: law, tech, innovation, and flexibility 📲

So, why settle for a life that’s anything short of extraordinary?

Becoming a digital nomad lawyer hasn’t been easy (what worth doing ever is?), but it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Through upskilling, pivoting, and pushing myself beyond my comfort zone, I’ve made the transition from a traditional legal career to a truly location-independent life.

You don’t have to choose between career and freedom.

Your Top Questions, Answered: Life, Law & Glampacking Adventures

Since launching The Glampacking Lawyer, I’ve had so many interesting questions about how and why I started this journey. So, I’ve pulled together some of the top ones I’ve received – along with a few fun travel faves.

💭 What inspired you to create The Glampacking Lawyer?

Although my profession is grounded in law, I’ve always been passionate about writing, travel, and photography. Over time, I found myself increasingly drawn to the world of digital nomadism and the idea of designing a life that blends work and freedom.

The Glampacking Lawyer was born from a desire to inspire people to step outside their comfort zones, explore the world meaningfully, and embrace location-independent living. The blog combines epic destinations,  remote work tips, and a sprinkle of legal life hacks for modern wanderers.

Lately, I’ve noticed a big shift in travel trends. In a fast-paced, often overwhelming world, more people are looking for wellness-centred escapes – not just sightseeing marathons. I used to travel that way too, cramming in as much as I could. But I’ve realised the most fulfilling travel experiences are the ones that leave you feeling recharged, not run-down…

So, my new mantra for 2024 is simple: Travel Well.
Whether that means a digital detox in nature, a luxury spa retreat, or even a goat yoga weekend (yes, really 🐐🧘‍♀️), I want to help people create adventures that truly nourish the soul.

And if there’s one message I want to share, it’s this:
It’s never too late to follow your dreams.
There’s no “right” way to live. Work hard, yes – but don’t forget to invest in self-care and joy along the way.

🌍 Best Places You’ve Ever Visited?

Hands down, Florida is my happy place – and my dream retirement destination! ☀️🇺🇸 I can’t fully explain why I keep going back, but it probably has something to do with the endless sunshine, great vibes, and, of course… all the sharks! (I’m a little obsessed 🦈).

Another unforgettable destination? The Galapagos Islands
The landscapes feel otherworldly, and the wildlife is like nothing else on Earth. It’s a place you truly have to experience in person to believe.

🏩 Favourite Hotel in the World?

Tough question! I’ve been lucky enough to stay in some phenomenal places, but two stand out:

1. Atlantis Paradise Island, which is in the Bahamas
2. SAii Lagoon Maldives (Curio Collection by Hilton)

Both are pure luxury in spectacular waterfront settings, with:

✔ Stunning ocean views and infinity pools
✔ World-class spa and wellness facilities
✔ Exceptional cuisine
✔ Activities for every type of traveller

If I find anywhere that rivals them, I’ll be sure to update this list – but these two have seriously set the bar high.
