This week my parents came to visit me in Croatia and see Remote Year in action. While we were exploring some of the nearby islands, one of the work deals that my mom was working on blew up. She responded to emails while we walked through narrow white-paved Croatian streets and took conference calls overlooking the Adriatic Sea just a few steps away from my dad and me sipping white wine before dinner.

The next morning as we sat together eating breakfast, the Mediterranean sun warmed us up and tropical birds sang out amongst the flowers. My mom sighed and said she wasn’t “ready to go back to the real world.” I looked at her and told her that she didn’t have to! She just spent the last two days working hard WHILE exploring the new places and having amazing experiences.

My mom is a high powered corporate attorney in her 50’s that can’t navigate taking a photo on her phone, but she was able to seamlessly excel at her job remotely in a crisis period while “on vacation” . Trust me, if she can do it, so can you!

If you want to do see the world while working remotely and don’t know how, apply to Remote Year and our team will walk you through the process of working with your employer to make remote work work for you. We have already been successful doing this at 100+ companies and more than 20 Fortune 500 companies!
