Workation - nice or stupid?
(imagevars.gulfnews.com)
I have recently received several ads on LinkedIn regarding workation. I am not sure if I think it sounds stupid or not.
I get the appeal of going south (I am from Denmark, we just had the most rainy summer ever recorded) and enjoy the weather, but at the same time it sounds like the perfect way to not enjoy your time abroad.
I work in a position where I could easily ask to work remote for a week or two, thus the targeting ad is correct that I am in the segment.
Any thoughts, experience or opinion on this?
Have an international SIM card before you go. Like Google Fi. Or anything from Arlo.
Map out coworking spaces or coffee shops in the area where you're going to stay. Have at least two locations you could work from in case internet has issues.
Don't assume the hotel internet will be up to standard. It might be that'd be great. But don't depend on it. That internet can be very stressful for remote working
