‘For those no longer confined to their workplace or home office, a year or two spent working remotely could be the necessary antidote to months spent grounded.’ – Condé Nast Traveler

The trend of remote working is showing no signs of slowing down. And a change of scene can be truly inspiring, especially if it’s from a functional office environment to a supportive seaside hammock.

With pretty much anywhere in the world being a potential remote working ‘office’, it’s time to think creatively. Retreat to a cabana in the jungle with monkey-spotting safaris instead of coffee breaks. Return to zoom summit after lunch atop a mountain summit. Or wind down in the evening with the exploration of an astounding cultural site.

 ‘Adventure companies are seeing stays lengthen by around 30 per cent, with more of us than ever taking, say, a month to do what Jimmy Carroll, co-founder of Pelorus, terms a “deep dive” into one country.’ – The Daily Telegraph

To explore their remote working preferences, Pelorus founders Geordie and Jimmy decamped to beachfront Santa Teresa—Costa Rica’s surfer mecca. For a month, the pair worked out of a luxurious jungle retreat with views of the Pacific framed by palms. Taking the concept of ‘work hard, play hard’ to the next level, they broke up their zoom conferences with rafting, rappelling, and surfing the incredible breaks nearby.

With Pelorus operations split between our London HQ and our US office in Texas, it’s typical for team members to remote work from elsewhere in the world. Our Travel Designer Emma recently discovered the ideal ratio of work to fresh adventure while based in Spain.

“In the mornings I was able to head down to the sea for a refreshing dip in the ocean, reconnecting me with nature before my working day commenced. During the day I had the comfort of working from a tranquil villa, this allowed me to work in complete solitude while taking in my surroundings.

Working abroad made me appreciate how important maximising my evenings and weekends were to my productivity. Being able to head out in the evening for a gourmet meal and immersing myself in the local culture enabled me to see things from a new perspective, making me realise how important it is for my clients to do the same.”
