Discover the power of workations
For years, I thrived on the energy of business travel. The unique rhythm of moving between airports, hotels, and customer meetings, then working from a sunlit terrace, provided a vibrant contrast to my home office routine. Each city and location brought its own inspiring vibe, sparking new ideas and boosting my productivity. The change of scenery was more than just refreshing; it was transformative.
The onset of the pandemic in 2020 brought everything to a halt. The world seemed to stop spinning, and I found myself confined to my home office. Initially, this break felt like a relief, but after a few months, the monotony set in. I missed the stimulation of new environments and the burst of creativity they inspired. Even when business travel resumed, it was restricted, and much of our work shifted to virtual platforms like Teams. The energy, the inspiration, the vibe—I could no longer feel it.
Determined to regain that lost spark, I began traveling on my own dime during workweeks, choosing vibrant cities like Barcelona, Lyon, Dubrovnik and others as my remote offices. It became clear that this was what I needed. The shift in scenery rekindled my enthusiasm and productivity, providing the clarity and focus I had been missing.
In August 2023, I made a pivotal decision to leave the company I had worked for over nine years. It felt like stepping out of a golden cage, leaving behind the comfort and security of a familiar environment to explore what truly fueled my passion. This leap of faith allowed me to reflect deeply on what I wanted to do next.
After an intense coaching program, I found my 'destiny.' My passion for travel, connecting businesses and people, and supporting digital transformation and international expansion became evident. I realized that happiness, fueled by doing what I love, outweighed any financial gain.
With this newfound clarity, I decided to embark on a new journey—one that combines my love for travel and my professional expertise. I launched a business dedicated to organizing workations and inspiring others to maximize their potential through travel. My goal is to help business leaders grow and transform their ventures by leveraging the stimulating environments of the world's most inspiring locations.
Workations are not just about changing your office scenery; they are about rediscovering your energy, sparking creativity, and finding a new rhythm in your work. By immersing ourselves in new cultures and environments, we can break free from the confines of traditional workspaces and unleash our true potential.
In conclusion, the power of workations lies in their ability to rejuvenate our spirits and enhance our productivity. As I embark on this new venture, I invite you to join me in exploring the world, finding inspiration, and transforming the way we work. Let's embrace the journey, discover new horizons, and redefine success through the lens of travel and passion.
