Lorem and Remote Year Join Forces to Send Freelancers on the Work and Travel Experience of a Lifetime

NEW YORK, Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lorem, a platform that connects business owners to a curated, professional network of freelance website developers and designers, is partnering with Remote Year, a platform for professionals to adopt the work and travel lifestyle within vibrant communities, to give freelancers a chance to travel the world for four or 12 months while working.

The #RemoteLife contest gives three "VIP" Experts the opportunity to travel to a new country each month with a community of other remote workers. As a VIP Expert, Lorem guarantees that each successful applicant will make at least $3,000 USD per month through their work on the platform; an amount that covers the Remote Year fee with enough left over to enjoy each city to its fullest. Remote Year will provide the logistical planning and itineraries, which previously included cities such as Valencia, Lisbon, Cape Town, Hanoi, Kyoto, Medellín and Mexico City.

"At Lorem, we believe that freelancing is the future of work, so joining forces with Remote Year was a no-brainer," said Charlie Fogarty, co-founder and COO at Lorem. "Aside from the once-in-a-lifetime experience that the #RemoteLife contest offers, Remote Year plans all travel logistics and cultural experiences for Lorem Experts, allowing freelancers the piece of mind to focus on building meaningful connections alongside a community of like-minded remote workers."

Lorem is accepting submissions from experienced website developers and designers for the contest, and will subsequently choose three experts based on their technical expertise, professional experience and client service. Lorem will provide the three experts with work opportunities during their remote work year, which the expert is responsible for picking and choosing based on their skillset.

"The #RemoteLife contest addresses one of the biggest hurdles for professionals who want to work and travel, which is having the finances to support themselves while they're on the road," said Greg Caplan, founder and CEO of Remote Year. "By partnering with Lorem, we're helping people expand their professional, social and cultural horizons, while giving them the resources to stay productive while working abroad."

Interested applicants should visit http://remotelife.asklorem.com and submit their information for a chance to be chosen as an Lorem VIP and travel the world while working remotely with Remote Year. Applicants must be U.S. legal residents aged 18 years or older. The contest begins on October 18, and will close on December 3. Winners will be selected and announced on December 7.
