Travelling and working sure is bliss.  You get the opportunity to learn new cultures, make some awesome connections and all in all, I think you get to enjoy life while you work!  Travel and work, is however, not all fun and games and after a year of living in Europe (all over the place), here are my tips to make the transition from working in one location to working in many smoother.

Pre Planning.

-Choose a location that is not more then 6h away in time zones, unless you want to be a zombie and never see the light of day. Talk about work times and hours.

-Travel days add up.  We all try and find the cheapest flights, but from time to time, go for the slightly more expensive flight day so you can travel on weekend for your shorter haul moves. This will give you more time to enjoy days you take off for the real experience.

 

Use the right technology.

-Slack

-Phone Data & Unlocked phones or a Nomad 4G box.

-Stay on top of a schedule using a PM software & Google Calendar & timezone.io

-Team Meetings every week.  Don’t skip them.

 

 

Seeing people you know & letting loose.

-Knowing when to start and stop working.
