Travel or Work: They Are Not Mutually Exclusive
You've heard it before: work is the enemy of travel. But is that really true? In this blog post, we'll explore the relationship between working and traveling, and whether or not they're mutually exclusive.
Working and Traveling
Working and traveling are not mutually exclusive. In fact, they can be combined in a number of different ways. One option is to work for a company while also taking your own trip around the world. You could also get paid to travel while working remotely, or even both at the same time!
Another option is to work remotely and travel independently; this means that you will be able to make more money without having full-time employment obligations like being on call 24/7 or having an office where everyone knows who you are (unless of course there's something about which people don't want anyone else knowing).
Theory 1: You're very productive
You're more productive.
If you're a digital nomad, you're probably doing work online. And as we have discussed earlier in this article, the internet is available almost everywhere. This means that you can do your job from anywhere—which also means that there's no excuse for not working on a Saturday morning when everyone else is sleeping in and spending time with their families. As long as they've got access to an internet connection and some privacy, they can maintain a high level of productivity regardless of where they are or what time it is (and yes, even if there's snow falling outside).
On top of that, being able to work whenever suits them gives them more flexibility with their schedule overall. They might be able to take off early on Friday afternoons so they can head out for weekend trips; or say goodbye before 7AM every day so they can spend most evenings out drinking with friends rather than sitting at home alone; or travel during off-season rates because otherwise travel would be too expensive for their budget (or maybe just work remotely instead).
Theory 2: You're not very productive
You're not very productive, and you're wondering whether you should work during your vacation.
It's true that working full-time while traveling can be difficult. But it doesn't have to be! You can still be productive when you are traveling, but it might take longer for some people. For example, if an employer wants the project done by Friday and their employee is away from the office for most of the week, then that employee will need more time than normal to complete the project (in this case: 3 days).
Another option is finding a balance between work and play: making sure that each day has some amount of both activities in it so as not to overwhelm yourself with too much fun or too much work all at once!
Theory 3: You work remotely or in an office with a flexible schedule
In theory, you can work anywhere. In practice, that's not true—but it is possible to get more freedom in your working schedule and location. For example:
Working from home
Working from a coffee shop
Working from a coworking space with flexible hours
Working from an office with flexible hours or regular hours
More and more companies are offering their employees the option to work abroad.
More and more companies are offering their employees the option to work abroad. This may seem like an obvious benefit for those with wanderlust, but it has the potential to be used in a variety of ways: from attracting talent to retaining existing employees.
The most common use case is when companies hire remote workers who live elsewhere. For example, Google has been hiring remote engineers from all over the world since 2013 (see here). The goal is to keep these people as productive as possible while allowing them flexibility related to location. Another example would be Blue Apron, a meal delivery service based in New York City that expanded its workforce by 8% between 2016-2017 by hiring remotely located employees in various cities across America (see here). This proves that there’s no limit on where you can find qualified workers—and why not take advantage?
In addition, some big name brands such as Apple and Amazon have started offering this benefit to their full-time staff members too!
You can work for a company and travel the world at the same time.
You can work for a company and travel the world at the same time.
This is not as easy as it sounds, but it's definitely possible. If you're willing to be creative and flexible, open to new opportunities and willing to take risks then there are many ways of doing this without compromising your lifestyle or career goals.
To start with: establish a good relationship with your boss before starting on this project by asking questions about their expectations from you (what kind of work do they need?), what kind of support will they give when working abroad? Are there any areas where your skillset could help them out?
These are only the tip of the iceberg. You will find a wealth of knowledge in this blog. Learn how to make your life more fulfilling and how to get rid of all your problems and frustrations by getting rid of unnecessary ideas. Start solving your own problems instead of relying on others to solve them for you…. This is just the beginning and there is still so much more to come!
