We’ve all been there, coming back to work after two weeks of lounging, exploring and cultural experiences, dreading to open an overflowing inbox.
While we have always been told never to mix business and pleasure, we’re all guilty of extending a conference trip into the weekend to make the most of a new city for a night or two. However, a new travel trend is now emerging from the pandemic – ‘workcations’ –travelling while also working and reaping the benefits from the best of both worlds.
After two years of working from home or hybrid working and following guidelines not to travel, many of us need a change of scenery. With travel now reopen, all you need is a laptop, and the world is your oyster!
With new opportunities to ‘work from anywhere’ as companies continue to offer remote work policies, you can experience the Wild Atlantic Way, the canals of Amsterdam or an activity-filled family getaway, all while balancing your workload while on the road.
