    Working from home and technically allowed from anywhere without informing my employer. I will never go back, best thing ever.

      Same! I love the WFH model. No one bothers me, I get more work done, and I don’t have to waste gas and time.

    Personally it isn’t for me. I struggle enough with working from home, that disrupting that more would cause me to not get anything finished at all

      Same. I want to like working from home, but I get nothing done unless it’s brain dead excel updating or something.

      But I personally know people who are more productive and happy to work from home.

    I work from home usually, but being able to take my job with me to visit my parents for a week or so is great. Theoretically, I could also go on major trips while working, but I haven’t don’t that because it doesn’t sound like much fun

    I work from home, and my employer allows up to six weeks from a different country, per country, per year. In theiry, as long as I kept moving every six weeks I could travel constantly.

    In reality I have three children, so I get to travel about once a year.

    I’m one of them. My job is fully remote and I live in a van and travel much of the year. Currently my “office” is next to a river in the mountains.

    I have been 100% remote since 2015. I don’t usually work on the go as I like the separation but I can.
