What if I told you that you could take your business on the road and travel the world while continuing to build your entrepreneurial dreams?

That’s exactly what Corrin Swintosky, a freelance paralegal, has done.

Her inspiring story is a testament to the power of embracing new experiences as a remote-working entrepreneur. Corrin began her journey by leaving the U.S. in April 2024, and she is currently based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She has been drawn to the vibrant culture of South America and the opportunity to improve her Spanish language skills. Corrin highlighted the affordability of her living situation noting that her expenses are actually considerably lower.

One of the key aspects of Corrin’s experience has been her approach to managing her clients while working remotely. Despite initial concerns about how her clients would perceive her location change, Corrin was able to have open conversations with them, leveraging the strong professional and personal relationships she had built. Her clients have been supportive and engaged, often asking about her travels.

Adapting to different Spanish dialects in the various countries she has visited has presented its own challenges. Corrin emphasizes the importance of being open to learning and immersing herself in the local culture. She was also surprised by the level of awareness and interest that people in other countries have regarding U.S. politics, which has provided her with a valuable global perspective.

As a solo entrepreneur, Corrin has navigated the balance between work and life, and she recently made the decision to hire. This move has allowed her to focus more on the legal work she is passionate about, while also delegating tasks to a specialized team member. Looking ahead, Corrin is excited about a new initiative which will allow her to continue working remotely. Even while working abroad, everything continues to align with her goal of promoting access to justice and providing affordable legal support.

Throughout her journey, Corrin’s resilience, adaptability, and entrepreneurial spirit have shone through. Her advice to fellow female entrepreneurs is to trust themselves, not feed into self-doubt, and surround themselves with a supportive community. Corrin’s story is a powerful example of how embracing change and stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to personal and professional growth.
