Living somewhere cool / exotic while WFH

Starting FT in August and this idea crossed my mind. If I'm sick of living at home and don't want to move into the closed down city that I'm eventually supposed to start in, why not get an airbnb with some friends in a sweet location until things start to open up? Maybe a lakehouse somewhere, something in the sun like Florida or even Hawaii. For example, look at this sweet house in Hawaii for $86 a night ($21.5 split between 4 people). https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1861034/photos/10308…

Seems extremely affordable why not take advantage of this WFH while it lasts. Any thoughts / other locations you think would be cool?

Looks like paradise...if you’re a broke college student with crippling student loan debt.

 

No debt here, and looking at 130k+ all in. Good luck with FT recruiting though, intern

 

I might do my senior year in South America to stay within a time zone or two of my school. As long as the internet connection is solid I see no reason not to if you're doing it safely
