This blog lists what you might need to take into account when you start your search for a vacation location if you decide to work your business while traveling. 

1. A secure and private wifi connection. Make sure the area you are staying at has a strong wifi connection, or a great cellular connection for the provider you go with. 

2. If you’ll be traveling with your family, make sure you have one room dedicated to your office space, just like you may have at home. 

3. Local coffee shops or coworking spaces if working directly in your vacation home will not work for you.

4. A nearby fedex, UPS, or USPS in case your teammates or clients would need to ship you something or vice versa. 

Maybe making traveling plans and searching for all of the above is not something that you have time for. Look no further! We’ve compiled a few hospitality websites curated for you. Try a business retreat with other like-minded business owners who can travel but would also like the ability to network with others. You can network and let your business flourish by discussing your ideas and building new ideas with other professionals.

These programs are mostly an all-inclusive deal. The prices will vary depending on the vacation spot and/or remote coworking community you decide to book with.

What is so great about all of these co-working/remote hospitality brands is that they encompass a whole self-care approach to life. It’s not only traveling and working remotely, but providing you the ability to help you find accommodations for fitness, social activities, and more. 

Help On Deck is all about helping you create a work-life balance. We are all for this type of work-life balance if traveling is your thing. Here are the places some of our Help On Deck team members would love to travel and work remotely.

We are here to provide you with some straightforward ways to disengage from work after your business hours end. The easiest (and most obvious) way to detach from work is to set clear boundaries for yourself and your clients or customers. At Help On Deck, we like to use our calendar and emails not just to communicate when we’re online and available but when we’re offline too! Use the tools you already have to let others know that you need time away. Set your automatic replies in emails with alternative options for assistance. Block time off in your calendar for hours you are offline and inaccessible. Do you have a client or a manager that likes to send last-minute emails? Or a customer that sent a complaint at 11 PM, and you have the urge to respond? Now you have systems in place to not only handle those situations but to respond to them as well, without ever having to log in or head back to the office!

Another way to truly detach from work is to embrace your downtime fully. Downtime is your time to be fully present with yourself, your loved ones, and even your pets. Focus on your health and wellbeing. After you conclude your business for the day, create a routine that includes proper nourishment and physical fitness. Refresh and replenish yourself. Change into your favorite sweatshirt, soak in a relaxing bath, read that book that’s been on your shelf collecting dust, or schedule an appointment with a masseuse. Turn off your phone or laptop and go offline for a few hours. The French have something called “l’art de vivre,” or the art of living, which is the knowledge of how to enjoy life and its practice. Think of all the small ways you can enjoy life on a daily basis. You don’t have to be Parisian to enjoy all of the small things that bring you happiness. 

Lastly, remember that you are more than your job. Ask yourself what it is that you want out of life? You can define personal success when you have a clear answer to this question in mind. Your personal success is a value separate from the success you experience in your professional life. You can derive values from the other roles in your life as well. Reinforce the idea that your business or job is only a fraction of who you are as a person. Keeping those values in mind is a great way to detach from work.
