I'm fortunate enough to be close enough to the beach that I'm able to go most weekends, or even immediately after work. Man.... when I'm at the beach, I am at t

  Very fortunate. We have to make a weekend trip each time we want to go to the beach, and that's to go to a beach off Lake Michigan (we're nowhere near the coast) and it still takes us about an hour and a half drive each way to get there. Last week, we finally went for the first time this year, and were rained out one day, and then it was overcast, windy, cold, and no swimming because of intense waves the other day (we still went, but it was less than ideal). If we're lucky we might go one more time this year, although that's mostly because last week wasn't great. We usually only make the trip once a year. I did used to live in an apartment that had a nice outdoor pool on the premises, and I'm seriously missing that now that I live in a house. I used to spend an hour out there about 3 or 4 days a week each summer.

    I took it for granted for years. I make a point to get out there frequently now because I realized that I'll probably be priced out of this area within the next few years.

    Interesting. I live 1.25 hours from another great lake and I have made the trip after work some days and weekends too. Totally worth it for me to leave work a little early, get there for 5 pm, enjoy the beach for a few hours and go home.

  Bali just launched a 5 year digital nomad visa, as soon as my current rent is up I'm going there.
