That's insane. I'd like to visit Iceland, but I think it's better to just go visit for a couple of weeks and then bail. Remote working in a cold and expensive country seems counter intuitive.
Give me word class beaches, great weather and cheap cost of living....South East Asia here I come!
- xeromal 5y agoI've been to several countries, but not yet a world traveler. Iceland is beautiful, but I've had more fun in other countries. One of my favorite trips was riding motorcycles around in Peru's Amazon.
- ghaff 5y agoIceland isn't that cold but it is expensive. But I don't really disagree with your basic point. I'd mostly rather vacation someplace and work at home. (Mostly. I have remote worked when I've had some time between trips in the same general area and I've just stayed there in between.) Zero interest in working from a beach in SE Asia though, especially given the time zone difference from the eastern US. Though this comes from someone who has "free" lodging in my house in the US.
- xtracto 5y agoI would love to be able to work in SE Asia or in Iceland even... I am 100% remote, working for a US company in Mexico. The problem is Timezones, due to TZ restrictions, I can only opt to work in the Americas. So far I haven't found a country that would accept me for longish term (6 months would be the sweet spot for me) without a Visa
