Since she was a teenager, Heather Smith has viewed accounting as a "global language", and a vocational pathway that she could travel the world with. Here, she reflects on her experiences in different jurisdictions, what she's learned, and how other accountants can take advantage of the myriad possibilities available to those willing to be more digitally nomadic.

• The need for accountants to appreciate that their vocation is a global passport.
• How the practice of accounting is transferable across borders. 
• Her experiences of living and working overseas.
