Just wondering if anyone has managed to do telecommuting while traveling, what your experiences are, and is there a way to best balance the two pursuits? Or, even if you haven't done it, if it is something that interests you, I would like to hear your thoughts as well, and your aspirations. :)
This is something I've started to ponder, as there is a real possibility it could happen. I am thinking the most comfortable scenarios would probably be: a) telecommute part-time + slow travel, or b) do whatever kind of travel I like + telecommute on my own terms (i.e. I am able to negotiate my hours and tasks).
For me, b) would be pretty awesome, though it seems like it could be too much to ask, though I guess it couldn't hurt to try. Might stand a better chance with a), as I know of colleagues who do something similar (minus the travel - they're living overseas, but not really moving around).
Of course, I could also be completely dreaming. It seems that I know employees who telecommute for their companies while staying put in a far-away location, and I also know freelancers who do extensive travel. But I don't think I know anyone that is my hopeful mix of the two, i.e. a telecommuting employee who travels around. Still, if anyone has positive stories, or an optimism gun, bring it here! :D
