WFH: Work from Hotel
by Monika MarkovinovicThe novelty of working from home wears off quickly when your desk and kitchen table are one and the same. For the remote worker stuck in a studio apartment or small spare room, a workspace outside of the home offers a much-needed change of scenery. Say hello to the “workation,” where “WFH” actually means “working from hotel.” Whether it’s a distraction-free day-stay in the city or a longer working holiday on a private island, transport your home office to some of the world’s most gorgeous destinations.
