Remote Work Travel

Reliable wifi, the right time zone, a month somewhere better.

Written for people working remotely who want to do it somewhere warmer

Working abroad fails on unglamorous details: the wifi, the time zone and the desk. A beautiful room with a 4pm start to your working day is not a month you will repeat.

Where this usually goes wrong

Advertised wifi is not verified wifi
'High-speed internet' is a marketing phrase, not a measurement.
Time zones decide your day
An eight-hour offset means either very early mornings or losing every evening.
Nightly rates punish long stays
Standard hotel pricing rarely makes sense past a couple of weeks.

What Shanair does about it

Connectivity questioned properly
Asking properties specific questions rather than accepting the listing copy.
Time zone matched to your hours
Destination chosen around when you actually need to be online.
Extended-stay rates
Where suppliers offer weekly or monthly pricing, that is what gets quoted.
