Embracing Remote Life: Flexibility, Sun, and a Finish Line

At The VA Hub Ltd, we celebrate more than just productivity, we champion freedom, balance and living life to the fullest. From marathons to Mediterranean coworking, here’s a little inspiration for making remote work work for you.

A Big Win for Jenny!

This weekend, one of our incredible VAs, Jenny, completed the Cork City Half Marathon — and we couldn’t be prouder! Born and raised in Cork and now living in Barcelona, Jenny embodies what we value most: determination, balance and the courage to show up fully wherever you are.

It was her first-ever race, and not only did she cross the finish line with a smile, but she also celebrated with a well-earned Domino’s pizza. After 21km of hard work, she’s now enjoying a much-needed rest, a true reminder that our remote team is always achieving amazing things, both on and off the clock.

Remote Life = Flexible Life 

When the weather’s this good, why stay indoors? One of the best perks of remote work is the freedom to choose where and how you work. Whether it’s a sunny park bench or your favorite garden nook, here are some quick tips to help you thrive outdoors:

  • Time it right: Work early mornings or late afternoons to dodge peak heat

  • Seek shade: Use natural cover or invest in an anti-glare screen

  • Hydrate + rest: Take real breaks and keep your water bottle close

  • Stay focused: Noise-cancelling headphones are your outdoor productivity hack

Remote life isn’t just flexible, it’s an opportunity to bring joy and wellbeing into your day, every day.

Coworking Gems in Barcelona

If you’re working remotely in sunny Spain (or planning a trip), Barcelona is a dream for digital nomads. Need a little structure, strong Wi-Fi, and great coffee? These hand-picked coworking spaces offer all that and more:

Each spot offers day passes, a warm welcome, and a refreshing change of scene - perfect if you're craving connection and creativity.

At The VA Hub Ltd, we believe remote work should empower you to live life on your terms - with freedom, focus, and a little sunshine whenever possible.
