An Expert’s Guide To Travelling While Working Remotely

amomentwithfranca · 21 December 2021 · 14 Comments

The past few years with the pandemic helped organizations realize the potential of remote working. In fact, several businesses are continuing working-from-home policies despite the world opening back up. After all, working from allows unparalleled flexibility and better work-life balance to employees. On the other hand, employers can save significant operational costs.

So why stay home when you aren’t required to sit in an office? If you always wanted to travel more, but work obligations held you back, this is a perfect time to become a digital nomad. And here’s how you can do that.

Ensure Reliable Internet Connection

When you’re working remotely, a reliable internet connection is indispensable. Wherever you are planning to go, make sure the place is equipped with dependable WiFi. You should avoid destinations with poor internet access. Save those places for a real vacation.

Meticulously Pack Your Devices (And Chargers)

Other than the internet, you also need to have all your gear. From your laptop to iPad, ensure that all your devices are working properly. Moreover, remember to pack chargers. We also recommend carrying spare batteries and pocket WiFi to remain connected.

Find a Suitable Accommodation

A hotel room is a suitable option when you’re spending all day exploring the city and just need a place to sleep at night. However, a tiny hotel room won’t cut it when you’re working remotely. You need the space and comfort that a home offers. That’s why you’re better off considering vacation homes in Corolla.

Take Things That Bring You Comfort

While many people dream of travelling while working, staying away from your family and friends may make you homesick. Taking something that brings you comfort can help you quickly adjust to a new location. From family photos to your favourite blanket, pack things that make you feel at home.

Stick To a Schedule

If you’re headed to a different time zone, it’s important to create and follow a daily routine. Sticking to a schedule will allow you to concentrate and stay productive.

Prepare For Unanticipated Delays

If you are planning to fly over the weekend and start working from your new location, you should anticipate unexpected delays. Instead of getting straight to work, consider giving yourself a couple of days to settle down and decompress. Moreover, it’s advised to research nearby electronics stores and co-working spaces in case of technology failures.

Avoid Overworking

When working from home, it’s easy to exceed your usual working hours. It’s imperative that you stick to your normal schedule and stop working at a reasonable hour. You’ve not traveled all this way just to stay in your room. So finish work on time and use the rest of your day exploring the new city.

Don’t Overpack

Considering that you’ll be going away for at least a few months, you may be tempted to pack everything you could possibly need. But don’t make that mistake. Overpacking will make it difficult for you to move from one place to another. Stick to your essentials and rest you can purchase when required.

Keep Your Team in the Loop

If you are planning to set up shop in a new location, it’s a good idea to keep your team and employer in the loop. You don’t want to reveal you’re in a different city when you’re asked to attend an important in-person meeting. In case there is a technical difficulty, and you’re unreachable, you can expect some level of understanding from your team.

Wrapping Up

Adjusting to the nomad life may take a couple of months, but it’s absolutely worth it. Hopefully, the above-mentioned tips will help you incorporate adventures into your everyday life.

    This life wouldn’t apply to me anymore as I lost my office work post at the beginning of Covid and now I have to go to work to work but my best friend has this life and it is wonderful for her. She has a great job in London and has been able to come and stay in Kent a lot while still working so it has been wonderful to see her more.

    I blog/write/grad school remotely and my husband works remotely and has been for years. These are great tips. Avoiding overworking is a big pitfall for many. They think that because they’re remote they have to prove they’re still worthy of the job/pay. Thanks for hosting! #KCACOLS
