I can work remotely for the next 1.5 months... ideas on what to do?
Long story short - my office was severely affected by Hurricane Sandy and will not be operational for a month at least. My manager says we can all work remotely in the meanwhile. Realistically though, I don't have that much to do so "working remotely" will most likely mean working 3~4 hours a day and just dicking around.
I thought to myself - why not make the best of this opportunity and go live somewhere new for a month? It would have to be in the US (will still need to make conference calls etc so can't be in a completely different time zone)... but does anyone have any suggestions?
My current thoughts:
Get a sublet for a month (or houseshare) near a ski resort (thinking Lake Tahoe, Aspen, Vail, or Vermont)
Hawaii?? Though time zone might be difficult
Anyone have any suggestions?
why does it have to be in the US? I'd say Caribbean / Mexico / Rio / Buenos Aires. All very close to eastern time.
Ski resort would be fun too though....
depends on what you want. If you want to just hang at a beach, then California might be better than Hawaii b/c time zone is only 3 hrs off. Santa Barbara and Malibu have great beaches.
For skiing/ski resorts all the places you listed are legit. Find what's in your budget and go with it.
You lucky bastard. If you leave, you should rent your place out to make a profit off this.
o believe me, ill be doing that.
thanks for the airbnb suggestion - spent a few hours browsing it. aspen/vail seem a little too expensive (e.g. most decent places near the resort are 2K+ a month).
keep the suggestions coming!
This sounds like a great idea, take a look on airbnb and go somewhere warm!
