In the summer of 2023, I had a thought: why not infuse a bit of work into our family vacation to Spain and Portugal? With that in mind, I embraced a remote-first approach. I kicked things off as a Nortal Nomad for the initial week before our official vacation started. Naturally, my family, including my wife and three kids, joined in on the adventure.
It offered shops, beaches, and various activities to keep my family entertained while I was working. Surprisingly, Malaga’s internet, while not Lithuania-speed, proved reliable. My workspace with a view of mountains allowed me to dive into meetings and tasks seamlessly, all while enjoying the change of scenery. The sun and sea were more like motivators than distractions.
For those considering remote work with family abroad, remember to keep the kids entertained, perhaps with a pool, and ensure a stable internet connection for online meetings. As for our next destination, the Balkans seem promising. Mexico is also on the radar, given our company’s expansion plans. It’s all about striking that perfect balance between work and adventure.
