I have recently received several ads on LinkedIn regarding workation. I am not sure if I think it sounds stupid or not.

I get the appeal of going south (I am from Denmark, we just had the most rainy summer ever recorded) and enjoy the weather, but at the same time it sounds like the perfect way to not enjoy your time abroad.

I work in a position where I could easily ask to work remote for a week or two, thus the targeting ad is correct that I am in the segment.

Any thoughts, experience or opinion on this?

    If you go to somewhere you already know well I think it’s great, your not super eager to explore, you got your shops and places you already like and know.

    If you go somewhere new it’s awful. Everything is rushed, you have to contain your excitement to get your work done. It’s like being a kid watching everyone outside play while your stuck inside. Even worse if it’s a different time zone you end up on calls late at night or up early in the morning.
