Hi, I'm Vendy,
After dozens of years spent in the different corporate companies I have decides to enter the world of remote working and try to find opportunities abroad bringing me a new challenges with a possibility to have more freedom and find better balance between my personal and professional life. Most importantly to have a bigger possibility to work from home or from some other places when "nomadic" lifestyle will hit me :). Also looking for more openminded people to become my colleagues and friends.
