Workation
by Mike Miller

Since March so many people have been working remotely from home and many companies have made this permanent or at least through the end of 2020 and into 2021. So this present an opportunity for those with this work life to do something different, take a workation.

What is a workation? This is taking off to a destination away from home like a vacation except you work from there. You could head out to see family,  travel to a city you have never been to or take a road trip. Either way, it does make work a little more bearable if you have a beach view. Pus, you can save up some of those vacation days or at least use them more wisely.

I will actually be doing this for my day job in September when I head to a family members beach house in Seaside FL. Instead of just taking 2 days vacation and returning home, I am taking 4 half days allowing me to hang out on the beach or at the pool in the morning and work in the afternoon. Now, there are some things you need to consider when taking a Workation.
  1. Accessibility. Whether you are staying at a hotel or Air B&B, you want to get information about internet connections. For example, with my day job, I need a very reliable internet connection since I have a remote desktop.
  2. Privacy. If you are working with clients and sensitive infromtion, you want to make sure you will have a quiet place to work where you will not be disturbed.
  3. Discipline. You are working on vacation so motivation can be an issue. Make sure you have the discipline to work and not end up on the beach all day. Being distracted in the office is bad enough but on vacation is even worse.
  4. Check with your company. Make sure your company will allow you to take a workation and work from another location other than your home.

The work environment has changed and I believe this is for the better. So why not combine the drudgery of work and vacation?

    I have a passion for travel and believe travel is about experiences. Experiences create memories and are the stories we tell to friends and family - even with a little fudging on the facts.
    So let me create a vacation you can brag about!
