Coworking Vacations

So you’ve finally decided to take the plunge and become a remote worker. Why not take your next plunge at the beach on vacation?

When you became a remote worker, you also became a mobile worker, virtual nomad, and location independent worker, enabling you to travel while still getting work done. You’re not bound to a desk anymore. You can work in a Scottish field filled with craggy rocks and craggier sheep or from a nice hotel room with a view of the Taj Mahal.

If you’re ready to embark on your own Magellan voyage around the world, here are a few options.

• A coworking retreat. Plenty of alternative travel companies are starting to offer coworking retreat packages, at reasonable prices, if you want to travel with a group with everything organized and pre-paid. Browse here to find your ideal coworking vacation.

• A staycation. Feel like you never get out of your house or neighborhood? Then pick a hotel or coworking space in your own area to get a change of setting, stay close to family and friends, and vacation in the unexplored wonderland right outside your doorstep.

• Sign up for a coworking membership abroad. Figure out where you want to go, find a coworking space in the area, and get whichever membership works best for you. If you’d like to visit the dazzling, exciting, and history city of Chicago, pick Free Range Office, for it’s warm, friendly atmosphere; ideal location in the hip neighborhood Wicker Park; easy access to public transportation, and nearness to the Robey Hotel.

• Housesitting. Here’s an interesting, budget way to travel: find a place to house sit anywhere you like. Help someone out by walking their dog twice a day and in exchange, get free housing and a place to work while vacationing in a new city. You can find you next house in the US here.
