Opinion: The remote work we do has transformed the lives of our entire family

Rowena Hennigan MOVING FROM IRELAND to Spain in 2017 was a decision made during a desperate time for our family. We were stressed, exhausted and out of options.

The true potential of remote working cannot be overstated: it can empower mobility and flexibility, which in times of need is revolutionary. It also allows you to have better travel and family time, changing your perspective on the world, on travel and getting to experience new cultures. All that is required is reliable wifi and a workspace to work from, which we check ahead of time and ensure is accessible when we need it, to ensure any work commitments are honoured.

One of the perks of working remotely I appreciate the most is the ability to take advantage of any trip for multiple purposes at the same time: you can combine work with visiting your family, you can show your kids other places, try new things, experience new foods and cuisine… and by extending your trip smartly, you can also enjoy some well-deserved, real time off to fully dedicate to yourself and your loved ones.

The afternoons were spent sightseeing and doing fun activities with the other families. While kids were learning, parents continued with their remote working in a supported communal co-working space, enjoying the best of both worlds.
