After the 2008 recession, while living in Italy and realizing her family couldn't even afford to eat, Afton took to the Internet to find her own opportunities. What started as a humble virtual assistance gig to survive soon turned into a legitimate six-figure business that allowed her to work from home, a coffee shop, or a tiny island far, far away (she's done all three). 

With thousands of people around the world looking for the same opportunities, Afton shares her story and how her freelancing got her through the darkest of times and given her the biggest experiences in life.
