Extreme Telecommuters

November 30, 2007 · Filed Under WFH, telecommuting

As someone that works from home for a living, I’ve been somewhat of a nomad from time to time. I have a second home overlooking the Chesapeake Bay where I have the phone, laptop, and broadband access - all that I need to function in my job. Who said that the “H” in WFH had to be taken literally as your primary residence? I can get as much done (sometimes more) working in locations other than “home”. Why not work from wherever you have the basic requirements for working effectively? Why not work from a Polynesian island? The only thing I can see getting in the way is timezones and whether you need to be in touch with people during a particular timeframe on a daily basis.

This article from the now defunct Business 2.0 on Extreme Telecommuting takes the location flexibility of WFH to the far end of the spectrum. I’m not sure I’m ready to buy a one-way ticket out of the country yet, but for some, this lifestyle may be an option.
