Meet Ali
I’m Ali Atlas. Canadian. I left at 22 and haven’t stopped. Twenty years across 23+ countries: working remotely, starting businesses, landing contracts, figuring out visas, finding apartments, making expensive mistakes and learning from every one of them.
Remote Atlas is what I wish existed when I started. The honest answers, the real costs, the vetted places and people, all organized into something actually useful.
