Labor digitalization has opened a whole new window of opportunity for many travelers to set forth in search of the mythical workation. But is getting the job done working while watching the sunset from some remote paradise even possible? Yes, it is.
Locogringo can confirm workations are very much real and they are amazing. In 2020 up to 58% of knowledge workers found themselves working remotely and 2021 might top that number. Now, before you pull the trigger on a three-week vacation rental make sure you have these three things to ensure a productive getaway.
1. Reliable communications. Prior to your arrival, you’ll want to double-check that your destination has the technology you require to be fully operational. Verify that the property you get has high-speed internet to avoid getting stuck on coconut-wireless.
2. Location, location, location! Choose your rental wisely in order to enjoy working remotely. Make sure the living and office spaces available are what you need to deliver your best performance. Choose a rental that will allow focusing on the task at hand whether it’s business or happy hour.
3. A goal. Whether it's a full-time job or a personal project you’ll want to bring something to do. You can’t spell workation without "work" so having a task to complete will allow you to fully immerse yourself in this experience. If you’re traveling abroad. Confirm your passport is valid for at least three months just in case you decide to stay another couple of weeks.
