One of the best things I love about my work as a Virtual Assistant is that I get to "carry" my work everywhere I go. For instance, we have this family tradition every year wherein I visit my parents and relatives who are living in another city miles away. There we gather for the New Year celebration. Days later, in between the days (and nights), I can check on my online projects and work on scheduled tasks, communicate with my clients, and others. After doing my work, I can then go back and join the old folks for more merry-makings.
Had I been employed in an office, I would have to rush back home to be ready to report back at the office. That would mean my vacation is just a few days, with no other spare time to go shop around. But as a VA, I can take my time to spend as many more days as I want before going back. All I need is my laptop and a reliable internet connection (which thankfully my parent's home has since they also use it in their works). Talk about convenience!
During summer school break, we also have scheduled vacation trips (whenever time allows because I and my wife are managing another brick-and-mortar office). bringing my laptop along, I can still continue my work wherever vacation spots we visit. It's a bit challenging in this case because I'm not sure if the places we're visiting have a WiFi connection. I either bring a pocket WiFi gadget or use my mobile phone's data and create a tether connection for my laptop. The worst scenario is when the place we're traveling to has a poor mobile signal, to which I would have to make do in the meantime. Regardless, I can still enjoy the fun and monitor my work, which is really cool.
