Flemming on workation in Bali and Australia
Our Corporate Innovation Manager Flemming spent 8 weeks on the other side of the world and worked from abroad. Flemming is working in Bali and combined this with a vacation in Australia.
Despite the time zone difference, the collaboration with the team is excellent. True to our value #worktogether.
Marco in Argentina
Marco, Account Manager at TIMOCOM, escaped the cold winter months to Argentina and was able to enjoy a fantastic view while working:
“I've always wanted to travel to Argentina and as it's only a 4-hour time difference in winter despite the long distance, I immediately realized that it would be ideal to combine my vacation there with Workation. This meant I could arrive a week early, work in the sunshine in the morning and explore the huge city of Buenos Aires in the afternoon. I swapped the cold, dark winter for a month of summer. Workation is perfect for long journeys in particular, as you are more flexible and can be on site for longer. I can only recommend it to anyone.”
Workation with work colleagues? Why not?
Kubilay spent some of his 120 days a year workation in Bali:
"During one of my lunch breaks, I was talking to two other TIMOs about how we would love to travel to a faraway place... this time we just made it happen! We packed our bags and boarded the plane to Bali. Due to the time difference, we were able to go on great excursions before work, for example to the monkey forest or visit temples, have breakfast in various places and then sit down at a table right next to the pool, enjoy the weather and work at the same time. The perfect mix of productivity, relaxation and adventure!"
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."
Raysa in Brasil
Workation has completely transformed how I experience work and travel. As a Brazilian living in Germany, trips home used to be bittersweet: joyful, but a reminder of the fewer vacation days I had to explore other corners of the world. Now, that’s a thing of the past - I can spend extended time with my family each year while working from sunny Rio de Janeiro for a few weeks.
But it’s not just that: the flexibility to combine vacations with longer stays has also allowed me to gain a better glimpse of the local life in places like Japan, Indonesia, the Baltics, the Nordics, and Southern Europe. These rich experiences have been shaping who I am, both personally and professionally. Regularly engaging with different cultures offers fresh perspectives, while boosting my ability to adapt to new situations and navigate everyday challenges with empathy and criativity. This not only inspires me but also equips me to deliver my best work - I am grateful for that! #keepgrowing
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!
Loren in Portugal
“Thanks to Workation, I have now had the opportunity to spend the entire six-week summer vacation with my children in our second home country, Portugal, for the second time. While I was working, my children were able to spend quality time with family and friends on site and after work we went to the beach or the mountains. The first 3 weeks of Workation felt like a vacation for me too, but now it's time for me to switch off my laptop and go on vacation - see you soon!”
