Work outside of U.S

Hello everyone,

I'm curious, is there anybody here who knows about jobs (Web-design mostly) that are ok with you working from home and are NOT within United States?

Thanks! :D

I'm in the UK in Central London, a lot of my work comes through freelancing, most the time I have a constant flow of clients coming to me via word of mouth. But when I don't I will go look for work on freelancing websites, look for startups requiring web developers or cold call companies that look like they may need an upgrade on their already existing websites (When ever I come across a bad website while browsing the web.. I write that url down because they are potential clients).

Most the Web development full time jobs in the UK are team based or studios and require you to be in an office to work with the other members of the team.

I prefer the option of freelancing from home in my underwear watching Jeremy Kyle :P

You can freelance from any country in the world because in most cases you do not even need to be in the same country your client resides in unless they have requirements to meet in person to discuss the project, which I do find a lot of clients prefer to do because it gives them more peace of mind once meeting you.

That's awesome Ashley! working in underwear will definitely be one of my goals. :D

I have also found the website http://freelancer.com that can be a good source for few bucks here and there, depending on your skills.
