There is a wide range of reasons why someone might be interested in remote working opportunities – but freedom of movement always tops the list. According to a survey conducted by And Co, close to 9% of the respondents chose the remote working lifestyle to live the “nomadic” lifestyle; 11% cited their desire to travel as the primary reason while 65% mentioned the freedom and flexibility to work from where they wanted as an important motivator.
More and more people are eager to learn how to work remotely and travel. Thanks to the developments in modern technology, this has become a viable option for a lot of different occupations. While the best remote jobs for travelers mainly lie in the technical (IT, developer, tech support, etc.) and creative fields (writers, designers, etc.), the emergence of new efficient remote working tools may significantly expand the pool of tasks that can be performed remotely.
Having a job that you can do remotely can let you achieve your travel dreams in more ways than one.
- The first and most obvious advantage of working remotely is that you will have the time and flexibility to arrange your time as you see fit — and this means that you will be in the position to allocate more time for your travels than a 9 to 5 job would ever allow. Project management tools, messengers and time tracking apps have made it possible for both companies and employees to efficiently coordinate their work online — and, in some cases, this has even lead to an increase in productivity compared to a standard working structure.
- As you won’t be limited by the constraints of “vacation time”, your idea of how you can travel may also undergo some changes. Instead of cramming hours of “must-see” sightseeing into your day, you may be able to spend more time exploring the places that you are interested in. If your position allows you to work remotely abroad, you may even be able to create a lifestyle that will let you live in different countries for varied periods of time, giving you plenty of opportunity to explore, learn and interact with different cultures.
- You will have more resources to travel. In addition to having a salary for the service you provide, you should also be able to put more money aside. Daily trips to the office take resources — and this includes financial resources too. You will need to spend money on the commute (whether it’s gas, bus or train tickets, etc.), you may overspend on meals that you will need to arrange for yourself at the office. Moreover, all those hectic coffee runs may end up costing a pretty penny by the end of the month — and this is just to name a few. Working from home can give you more control over your spending. Consequently, you can manage your resources better, which means you may have more money to spend on other things — like travel.
With more time, more resources and the necessary technology at your disposal,
you will have everything in place to make changes to your life and design it the way you see fit. This may include more travel, more time with family at home and for visiting relatives, the chance to invest more in education and training, time for your hobbies and other interests — and more.
