While many offices remain closed, workers are taking work-from-home to a new level at exotic locations.

A recent FOX 13 article through the Scripps National network reveals some new trends among professionals experimenting with the limits of remote working. Many workers, it seems, have decided they need a change of scenery and are taking advantage of a strange new professional landscape to explore new locales, without missing work.
According to Danessa Itaya, president of the property management franchise Property Management Inc., more customers are seeking out the company’s short-term rental offerings, and 30-day rentals are becoming increasingly popular among the franchise’s customer base.
“We hear from our franchisees that they’re getting these two to three month rentals, but they’re asking for upgraded internet so they can work remotely and how easily can they access the grocery store and the beach,” Itaya told the TV syndicate.
So, where are these nomads traveling to? Hotspots so far have been San Antonio, Texas; Austin, Texas; Naples, Florida and Idaho. One problem Itaya has noticed is that these short-term rental properties aren’t typically equipped with high-speed internet, which may come as a shock to anyone planning on a full workload during their stay.
