I would do things to get a break from it, but the reality is you can't really escape when you work remotely. You are tied to that digital life as a basis for the travel itself, as well as the employment that affords you the opportunity to do so. I am not one of those people that's constantly on my phone, but for most of my travel I was in operational roles where I was on-call 24/7, and using my phone or similar devices for basic services while traveling like translation, maps, cars, train tickets, plane tickets, hotels, payments, etc.
- brailsafe 4y agoWhat you describe is kind of what I suspected, in terms of that specific job requiring you to be that available, which is why the question was genuine. I also work remotely, and have at times travelled simultaneously, but never in the same way, unless it's the constraint I'm accepting because I actually don't have the vacation time. As in, if I'm in vacation, laptop stays at home, otherwise I'm just trying to do both and sometimes that's a fair compromise. Even day to day living stationary, I have a hard time accepting that not being able to escape is a requirement, but I'm not really responsible for any critical systems, and am not paid like that either.
