Should We Stay, Or Should We Go?

There is a huge generation out there who found out how many cool places we can visit in the world. Some people like to travel just for vacation. Others see traveling as a lifestyle, and after some experiences, they decide to live in the road. But how to make it happen? That was the main idea of the event that happened on April 26, at the Startup Basecamp. A group of young and creative minds from Toptal and Nomad Pass organized an event to help other creative minds to find out how to work and travel at the same time.

The event had some speakers that told their experience about how to build a career when you are always with your backpack ready to go. Marcela Kashiwagi, software engineer at Toptal, spoke about her experience during the last months, when she travelled over six countries and kept working remotely. Marcela mentioned that is important to be aware of time zones and make sure that the place where you are going to travel has a good internet connection. She also said that is also important to meet people and make connections.

This type of event is interesting not only to build relations, but also to learn more about companies that support travelers, foreigners, and anyone looking for a new experience. The event Work and Travel: how to make it happen, just happened because three companies worked together. I didn’t know any of them, and I am already in love for their work.
