Start With What You Need

The right destination should make it possible to get your work done—and still give you something to look forward to when you close the laptop.

Reliable Wi-Fi
A strong, dependable connection for calls, meetings, and everyday work.

A Comfortable Workspace
A desk, coworking space, or café where you can actually get things done.

The Right Time Zone
Consider how your work hours line up with meetings, clients, or your team.

Easy Everyday Access
Stay near food, transportation, coffee shops, and anything you’ll need regularly.

Room for Life Outside Work
Choose somewhere that makes it easy to explore once the laptop closes.

A Stay That Supports Your Routine
Look for workspace, Wi-Fi, laundry, kitchen access, and enough room for a longer stay.

Where Can You Work—and Still Enjoy the Trip?

A great destination needs to work beyond your time off. Look at how easily you can work, live, and explore while you’re there.

Look Beyond the Destination Name

Connectivity
Is reliable Wi-Fi easy to find where you’ll be staying and working?

Time Zone
Will the local time work with your meetings, clients, or team?

Places to Work
Are there cafés, coworking spaces, or other comfortable places to work nearby?

Getting Around
Can you easily move between your stay, workspace, food, and things to do?

Cost of Staying Longer
Does the cost of accommodation, food, transportation, and everyday life fit your budget?

Life After Work
Will you have things you actually want to do once the workday ends?

Once a destination feels right, where you stay can make the difference between simply working there and actually enjoying your time there.

A Place to Work
Look for a desk, table, or comfortable setup where you can focus.

Reliable Wi-Fi
Check recent reviews for comments about connection quality and reliability.

Location
Consider what you’ll want nearby during the day—cafés, food, transit, coworking spaces, and everyday essentials.

Enough Space
If you’re staying longer, having room to work, relax, and unpack can make a difference.

Everyday Conveniences
Kitchen access, laundry, housekeeping, or a gym may matter more on a longer trip.

Quiet When You Need It
Think about meetings, calls, your work hours, and how much privacy you’ll need.

Where Will You Stay?

Choose a Stay That Fits Your Routine

When you’re working while traveling, your stay has to do more than give you somewhere to sleep. Think about what will make everyday life and work easier.

Once you know where you’ll work and recharge, you can start thinking about what you want your time away from the screen to look like.

What Will You Do When You’re Off the Clock?

Work may shape part of your day, but it doesn’t have to define the whole trip. Think about how you want to spend the time that’s yours.

Make the Most of Your Time There

However you spend your free time, make sure getting there doesn’t take more effort than the experience itself.

Explore Nearby
Choose things you can easily enjoy before work, after work, or on a free afternoon.

Eat & Drink
Find cafés, restaurants, markets, and local food experiences worth stepping away from your routine for.

Get Outside
Walk, hike, hit the beach, or find somewhere outdoors to reset after being on a screen.

Try Something New
Book a tour, class, activity, or experience you wouldn’t have at home.

Meet People
Look for events, group activities, coworking communities, or other natural ways to connect.

Leave Room for Nothing
Not every free hour needs a plan. Give yourself time to simply enjoy being somewhere different.

How Will You Get Around?

When you’re balancing work and travel, long or complicated trips across town can eat into your day. Know how you’ll move between the places you’ll use most.

Make Getting Around Fit Your Routine

Your Everyday Route
Check how you’ll get between your stay, workspace, cafés, and other regular stops.

Public Transportation
Look at nearby trains, buses, operating hours, and how reliable they are.

Walking & Rideshares
Know when walking makes sense and when a rideshare or taxi will be easier.

Exploring Beyond Your Everyday Route
Consider whether you’ll need a rental car, train, or other transportation for trips beyond the city.

Once the everyday logistics feel manageable, you can focus on making the work side of the trip run just as smoothly.

What Should You Have Covered Before You Go?

Working away from home comes with a few extra moving parts. Set up the essentials ahead of time so a small problem doesn’t throw off your work or your trip.

Be Ready for the Unexpected

A little preparation gives you more freedom to focus on the work—and enjoy everything around it.

Stay Connected
Have a backup way to get online if your accommodation Wi-Fi fails. An eSIM or mobile data plan can keep you connected when Wi-Fi isn't available. If you're heading somewhere rural or remote, check cellular coverage before relying on it.

Protect Your Connection
Use a reputable VPN when working on public or unfamiliar Wi-Fi networks.

Plan for Power
Bring the right adapter for your destination and keep a portable charger available when you're working away from an outlet.

Back Up Your Work
Make sure important files are securely backed up and accessible if something happens to your device.

Have Another Place to Work
Save a nearby coworking space or another reliable workspace in case your usual setup doesn't work out.

What Expenses Should You Expect on your Work Trip?

Working while you travel can change what’s worth spending more on. Think beyond the basic trip costs and include the things that make it possible to work comfortably while you’re away.

Plan for the Extras That Come With Working Away

Your Stay
A better workspace, reliable Wi-Fi, or a more convenient location may be worth paying more for.

Connectivity
Include costs for an eSIM, mobile data, or another backup way to get online.

Workspace
If you’ll use a coworking space, day pass, or meeting room, add that to what you expect to spend.

Getting Around
Consider transportation between your stay, workspace, meetings, and anywhere else you’ll regularly need to go.

Once you know what the trip may cost, you’re in a better position to finish the details and get ready to go.

Ready to Work From Somewhere New?

You don’t need every detail figured out before you go. Know what you need to work reliably, cover the practical details, and leave yourself time to enjoy being somewhere different.

You’ve Got the Important Pieces Covered
