Workation
Relocate your home office to a place with guaranteed sea breezes or mountain air: With us, you can work from abroad worldwide for up to 120 days a year. Within the EU, you can spend up to 60 consecutive calendar days working from a location of your choice – and up to 30 days outside the EU. So you can extend your vacation or visit family and friends far away. Mental health and a good work-life balance are important to us. For this reason, work and vacation are not opposites at TIMOCOM - we combine both. During your workation you are automatically covered by travel insurance, because your health is important to us!
"At TIMOCOM, vacation and work are not mutually exclusive! Thanks to Workation, our employees can work abroad for up to 120 days a year. Our TIMOs have worked abroad for over 5000 days so far"

Workation with colleagues? Why not?
Enver spent his workation in Portugal together with colleagues:
“Surrounded by beautiful landscapes and the relaxed atmosphere of a finca, our team — made up of colleagues from different departments — didn’t just work on exciting projects. We also played padel together, enjoyed delicious BBQ evenings, explored the Algarve, and had an amazing time.
When people think of a workation, they often picture idyllic beaches and productive workdays under palm trees. But what happens when adventure calls in the form of a car breakdown in the middle of rural Portugal? That’s when we realized that true teamwork goes far beyond calls and to-do lists — it’s about finding solutions together, whether on the court or by the roadside.”
Sarah in Ibiza
Sarah did her workation in Ibiza and shares her experience with us:
“Workation gave me the chance to start summer a little earlier. By combining vacation and workation, I was able to extend my stay in Ibiza, which gave me the opportunity to really get to know the island. After a short morning walk with my dog along the beach, I started work each day feeling energized and in a great mood. In the evenings, I could watch the sunset and enjoy some tapas.
I never felt like I was missing out on anything, because after work there was still plenty of time to soak up the beautiful weather and the island’s unique atmosphere. For me, this is an absolute must-have every year from now on – and thanks to flexible working hours and up to 120 days of workation per year, it’s no problem at TIMOCOM!”
Yasin enjoying his workation at the Black Sea
Yasin loves to spend his workation in Turkey:
“Being able to work from Turkey as part of a workation didn’t just allow me to connect my family roots with my professional life — it also helped me strengthen relationships with customers in the region. The direct exchange with local business partners opened up new perspectives and enriched my work. I really value that TIMOCOM supports flexible working models, creating space for both personal growth and new business opportunities.”
Lara in Portugal
"Workation gives me the freedom to get my work done while living in the most beautiful places in the world. The flexibility of my working hours and the inspiring environment make me even more productive and happier.
I have used my workation in the Algarve to combine my passions such as road cycling, jogging and long walks on the beach with my dog. It's great to combine my work with my life and be productive at the same time.
What I like most about Workation is the ability to flexibly extend my vacation and spend the end of the day in beautiful weather."
Marco in Argentina
"I had always wanted to travel to Argentina, and since the time difference in winter is only four hours despite the long distance, I quickly realized it would be perfect to combine my trip with a workation. That way, I could arrive a week early, enjoy the sunshine while working in the mornings, and spend my afternoons exploring the vibrant city of Buenos Aires. Instead of a cold, dark winter, I got to enjoy a month of summer. A workation is ideal for longer trips, as it gives you the flexibility to stay longer and experience more. I can highly recommend it to everyone."
Caterina in Italy
Workation means for me ‘’being present‘’.
Being present at the birthdays of my relatives and lifelong friends, being present and watching my nieces and nephews grow up and achieving important milestones in their lives, being present and helping my parents with their daily chores.
I have been living abroad away from home for five years now and this benefit is really a great privilege for me, because I can come home whenever my presence is wanted or needed, but also any time I want or need the presence of my loved ones! And this is priceless!
Raysa in Brasil
"Workation has completely changed the way I experience both work and travel. As a Brazilian living in Germany, trips home always came with a bittersweet feeling: the joy of being with my family, but also the reminder of the limited vacation days left to explore other parts of the world. That’s no longer the case—now I can spend quality time with my family every year while working for a few weeks under the sunny skies of Rio de Janeiro.
But that’s not all: the flexibility to combine work and longer stays has also given me the chance to dive deeper into local life in places like Japan, Indonesia, the Baltic States, the Nordics, and Southern Europe. These experiences have shaped me both personally and professionally. Being in regular contact with other cultures constantly broadens my perspective and strengthens my ability to adapt to new situations, approaching challenges with empathy and creativity. This not only inspires me but also empowers me to do my best work—and for that, I’m truly grateful! #keepgrowing"
