Work & Play Anywhere
On the most basic level, as humans, we enjoy travel because it brings novelty. New experiences boost creativity, motivation, and learning. By putting us into new routines, environments, and conversations, we are able to experience more diversity in our lives and create an environment that inspires and nurtures us. With new work models that allow for more travel, location independence, and flexible work time, we can design a creative lifestyle where work feels more like play and with that, we will be able to sustain a happier and more diverse life, without burning ourselves out.
These city guides are a labor of love and started as an idea a long time ago when Out of Office founder Alice started working remotely, and are now finally coming to life with the support of local contributors. We hope you will love them!
