Work
Location Freedom
Today’s
challenge is to imagine a month-long working holiday in Portugal (or any other
dream destination) and the way to balance adventure and work while on this
holiday.
This blog post is in response to Natalie’s 10 Day Freedom Plan Blog Challenge Day 9
I have not
visited Lisbon, Portugal. This challenge gives me a chance to daydream and
visit this vibrant, cosmopolitan city, with beautiful sunny climate, and sites,
magnificent landmarks, museums, hotels, viewpoints where the ‘old’ merges into
the ‘new’.
Balancing
work and adventure will seem difficult in such a beautiful city. The nightlife
is rich, enjoy joyful music and lively atmosphere at the clubs. However, it is
possible.
I could
plan some weekdays, to enjoy the lively, bustling city and the shopping centers
in the day time. Working in the evening and night time in the cafes will let me
enjoy some Belém custard tarts, Cinnamon and sugar sprinkled pastries.
Work hours
can be interrupted with short trips in the city to absorb the smell of fresh
seafood or the fiery sunsets from some of the famous viewpoints like São Pedro
de Alcântara and São Jorge Castle.
Work will
be wrapped up in the morning and afternoon to enjoy the nightlife on weekends.
Castles and beaches can be enjoyed in the daytime by planning work in the
evening. I could enjoy wine tasting at the vineyards.
To ensure
productivity and efficiency, I would keep all my laptop, apps, tools, emails,
Wi-Fi connectivity. I can ensure one blog post each day, composing emails, a
few quick calls on Skype if required.
As a
freelancer, location freedom calls for a right mix of work and leisure. What is
your dream destination? How would you balance your life?
