We all have to work for a living. But these days it\u2019s less and less at a office and more often than not at home. Still, that usually means four white walls, a stationary desk and a window view of city buildings. To truly have a proper work\/life balance, it\u2019s time for a workcation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea\u2014combining work with vacation\u2014is nothing new. Sir Richard Branson was an advocate long before it became popular (but then again, he\u2019s a billionaire and has his own private island)! Workcations afford a lot of benefits: the change of scenery boosts inspiration and serotonin levels. Creativity increases as does a feeling of relaxation. Then there are the positives of paying less for rent and food, especially if you pick a destination that\u2019s a bit off-the-beaten-track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since many companies have flexible working policies, ours included, digital nomads have embraced the proposition. So, instead of staying in a concrete jungle, why not go somewhere more picturesque and inspiring? We\u2019ve narrowed down the top places to become a digital nomad and provided tips for making sure your next workcation goes smoothly! So, pack your laptop and notebook, fill your suitcase with essentials and go!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you crave the beach: Canary Islands, Spain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re based somewhere north or gray, gray, gray, you covet the sun. It goes without saying that instead of logging in from our home computer, we prefer a workcation somewhere warm and the Canary Islands offer sun and relaxation aplenty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With incredible beaches and natural volcanic landscapes, all seven islands are worth a visit, but Tenerife <\/a>boasts a heady mix of sun and city. You get the island vibe but still have your basic needs met. Tenerife is so friendly to digital nomads that it hosts The Tenerife Digital Nomads Fest every June. The four-day festival provides ample opportunities to network with old and new contacts and to get tips on working remotely. <\/p>\n\n\n
