7 Tips for Working Remotely While Travelling the World

If you ask around about every person's favorite job, more than 80% of the people asked will tell you that they want to work and travel at the same time. Apart from the ever changing and relaxing environment you are working from, you also get to know yourself better. You are not tied to a schedule. This way, you can figure out the most productive periods of the day and plan your work accordingly.

Here are 7 tips you should consider if you want to work and travel around the world.

1. Make Sure You Always Have an Internet Connection

The thing is, while working remotely, your internet connection will be your best friend Why? Because, by using it, you can travel around the world and do your tasks on time, send your reports to your clients and keep the cash flowing.

Before going to your next destination you have to do some digging. Read blogs and forums about your next pit-stop. There you will be able to figure out if you will have a stable internet connection and if there are plenty of places you will find WiFi. If that's not the case, you will have to purchase an Internet SIM card or find a decent go-to place where to work from.

2. Always Have a Retro Kit

In the tech era we live in, it's safe to say that a notebook, a pen, and an eraser are a retro kit. You never know where you might end up during your travels. You might end up in a very remote place with no power sources nearby. Your state-of-the-art PC might help you out for 2-3 hours, but once it runs out of power, you have to go back to basics. After all, your tasks need to be done, your clients don't care that you ran out of battery.

You can write down your ideas and everything and once you arrive in a place where you can charge your laptop, you can transfer that information to your laptop.

3. Work During Your Most Productive Hours

It will take a while, but once you figure out your most productive hours, you can create your schedule according to them. If you are a night owl, you will keep your afternoon and night agenda clean. Make sure that during the day you get plenty of sleep! Unless you do that, your work productivity will decrease drastically.

John Mack, our career advisor said “If you want to have great results, you need to be effective and efficient. Your efficiency drops when you are less productive, thus your clients will receive lower quality results. Working during your most productive hours will boost your output and will save a lot of time.”

4. Plan Your Work Effectively

Your high productivity it's useless if you use your energy in an inadequate manner. You have to plan your entire activity to get the best results. A great method of keeping track of your daily/weekly tasks is to use Agile as a management system for your activity.

Even though it is mostly used in the software development processes, it advocates for adaptable planning systems and greatly increases the efficiency of your activities. You will make sure your energy is used in a highly-efficient manner.

5. Buy Adapters for Your Electronics

As you might already know there are various power outlets around the world. You might go to a country which has a different power outlet than yours. You need to be able to charge your electronics no matter what. For this, you have to buy adapters and converters. This way you will make sure you will be up and running regardless of the country you work from.

6. Plan Your Meetings Carefully

One very important thing you need to take into consideration is the way you make work and leisure blend in. You don't want to buy a 10 AM plane ticket for your next destination when you have a stand-up meeting at 10:30. Keep an agenda of your work activities and adapt your leisure activities according to it.

7. Keep the Time Differences in Mind

Last, but not least, at first, the time differences will give you some headaches. Let's say you will stay in Hong Kong for the next 2 months and your client is based in New York. There's a 12 hour time difference between the two locations. It means that you will only have a 2-3 hour window to get in touch with your client. From 8 AM to 10-11AM New York time.

Conclusion

Working remotely while traveling around the world is everyone's ideal scenario. Seeing different cultures, cities, meeting new people, and sightseeing this world's marvels during your lunch break is what everyone dreams of. By keeping in mind these 7 tips you can do exactly this.
