Still looking for your summer getaway? 🌞🌴🏖️
We're here to help you find the perfect one.
Hi there! 👋 Oana here.
🌞 Summer has arrived, and guess what? It's time to take a well-deserved break! Haven't you ever felt like your holidays were too short, even if they lasted for seven or eight days? Well, guess what? I've got an idea for you! How about skipping the usual vacation routine and going for a "workation" instead?
What is a "workation"?
The idea of “workation” started at the intersection of “work” 💻 with “vacation” 🏖️ and is a way to experiment with traveling around the world for more extended periods while still having a full-time job. It's a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in different cultures, embracing their unique lifestyles and habits.
Why choose a “workation”?
Here are some reasons why you can choose workation instead of a traditional vacation:
1️⃣ Expect creativity from unexpected
✈️ Traveling exposes us to incredible contexts, situations, and amazing people!
From gazing out of the bus window as you journey from the airport to your accommodation to striking up casual conversations with your taxi driver or connecting with fellow nomads at a cool co-working space, these are the magical moments of traveling.
Believe it or not, these experiences can ignite your creativity and inspire new ideas or fresh approaches to your day-to-day work.
2️⃣ Find your work-life groove 🎶
Finding balance can be quite a challenge, right? 🤷♂️ Often, work ends up taking the lead, leaving little room for the things we truly enjoy. But fear not! A workation could be the answer you've been looking for.
By embarking on a workation, you'll be motivated to devote more time to the activities you love and uncover what truly brings you joy. Imagine being able to pursue your passions while still fulfilling your work responsibilities. It's like having the best of both worlds!
3️⃣ Discover your rhythm 🌟
Giving yourself more time, embracing the joy of the present moment, and taking life day by day, step by step, can work wonders in helping you rediscover yourself and tap into your inner energy.
So often, we get caught up in the fast-paced world around us, leaving little room to connect with ourselves truly. But by slowing down, savoring each moment, and being fully present, you can unlock a whole new level of self-discovery. 💆♀️
4️⃣ Opportunities are a mix of context and people 🌍
You've probably heard the saying that opportunities flourish when you step out of your comfort zone. Well, guess what? By spending at least one month in a new place, you open yourself to a world of possibilities!
During this time, you'll have the incredible opportunity to forge deep and lasting connections with amazing individuals. Plus, with plenty of time on your hands, you can finally dive into new experiences and adventures you've always wanted to try! 🏄♂️🥾🛶
Imagine the thrill of surfing the waves 🌊, hiking breathtaking trails 🏔️, or conquering waves while canoeing🚣♂️ . Who knows? These activities might ignite a newfound passion within you and bring you closer to your life's purpose.
🌞 So, are you ready to combine work and play for an unforgettable summer break? Look no further!
