She has trained over 12,000 VAs who have gone on to work with top entrepreneurs and thought leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hannah focuses on creating standards of excellence in the remote work space with regards to ethical pay, diversity, and creating meaningful communities. This has elevated her position as the go-to person for hiring ethically and intelligently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 13 years of continuous travel, she\u2019s a staple in the digital nomad scene and has been featured in Forbes, The James Altucher Report, iNews, Thrive Global, DNX and numerous other media outlets and stages on travel and entrepreneurship.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can usually find Hannah in a hammock \u2018window shopping\u2019 for tech she doesn\u2019t need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I discovered Hannah while reading an article that we were both featured in, and I noted that (at the time) she had reached the 12-year mark for full-time travel (12 years incidentally being how long I lasted before I <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/my-epic-search-for-a-home-base\/\">got a home base<\/a>). Then I did a little more digging into who she is and what she does, and I practically begged her to join my interview series. She obliged, we turned on the camera, and by the time our conversation ended, I felt I had a new friend.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CHECK OUT HANNAH&#8217;S PROJECTS:<\/strong><br \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/noradunn--digitalnomadkit.thrivecart.com\/va-starter-kit\/60256d09fb365\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">5-Day VA Challenge<\/a><\/strong><br \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/noradunn--digitalnomadkit.thrivecart.com\/va-starter-kit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">VA Starter Kit<\/a><\/strong><br \/><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/noradunn--digitalnomadkit.thrivecart.com\/va-starter-kit\/602e71a74be45\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Beginner&#8217;s Guide to Virtual Assistance<\/a><\/strong><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the things we discussed:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Hannah-Dixon-in-her-remote-career.jpg\" alt=\"Hannah Dixon in her remote career\" class=\"wp-image-14034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Hannah-Dixon-in-her-remote-career.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Hannah-Dixon-in-her-remote-career-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Hannah-Dixon-in-her-remote-career-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>Watch my Chat with Hannah Dixon of Digital Nomad Kit Here!&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6RV8x614pBU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to watch the interview<\/a>, and please be sure to give it a like and leave a comment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or, just click play below:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Remote Career Options and VIRTUAL ASSISTANT Hiring Ethics | Hannah Dixon | DIGITAL NOMAD KIT\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6RV8x614pBU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>How Hannah Got Started in Full-Time Travel and Remote Work&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hannah&#8217;s travel style changed many times over in her 13 years (so far).
