QOTD #00002: “If you could work remotely from anywhere, which paradise would you make your home?”
Everybody's working for the weekend, but what if you did your job while living in paradise? During our week of all the things we dream about, we want to know what location is so amazing it could keep you working 24/7!

Workation around the world! Or my Colorado mountains.
"I think working remotely is probably one of those lessons that we've learned in 2020, is that work can be done from anywhere with the right technology. And so, yeah, absolutely, I would love to take an exotic vacation and do a little work while I'm there. Uh, if I had my choice, I would love to go to Hawaii. Um, I'd also love to see Panama again, um, possibly Spain, if those options are open. Now, if we're just sticking inside the United States, I'll probably stick close to Colorado because I love my mountains."

Oh, Hawaii is just too nice.
"Wow, if I could pick one place to just work and study for a year with all my expenses covered, it'd still have to be Hawaii. It's just too nice there. I think everything I could experience, uh, with the hikes, with the beaches - too nice."

A free trip to Hawaii? Hmm, not for me.
"In Hawaii, there are these campaigns to get people out to work in the state by flying them out for free, round trip, and a lot of people are attracted to this. I am not. The idea of going anywhere to work and not really knowing the circumstances, all you know that, is that the flight there is free. That doesn't really sit well with me. If anyone else wants to do it, that's fine. Just not for me."

Globetrotting on all the globe's islands.
"Hawaii, Bali, Japan, Indonesia. Wait, that's in, that's Bali. That's the same thing. Look, I'm just so flustered and so excited, I could go anywhere - Jamaica, you name it. [Sings] 'Aruba, Jamaica, ooh, I wanna take ya.' I could work and travel at the same time? We globetrotting, baby. "

If Greece is an option, that'd be great.
"Hawaii is offering workers a free round trip ticket? Um, well, I would want to go to Greece. But again, if that weren't an option, I would take Hawaii. Um, but I'd love to go to Greece. Greece is great. Well, being in Greece is great."

An earthly paradise in Palawan, Philippines.
"Working remotely, would be this place called Palawan in the Philippines. My fiancée's Filipino. And it's the thousand islands, the water's pristine, there's vegetation everywhere - you can literally climb a tree and grab a coconut. You could pick fruit off the bushes like it ain't nobody's business, and it's just serene. It's perfect. Besides monsoons, it's prob-"
Dana B

A high price for beauty in Hawaii.
"Hawaii is a beautiful place, and that would be amazing. Only thing is it's gonna run you some nice coin. It costs a lot to live out there, and food is even more 'cuz they have to be imported unto the- into the mainland, like, carton of milk is like $10. So, it's crazy."
Destinee W
New York, NY
If not Japan, Ireland. But definitely Japan.
"If they were gonna give me, um, a free round trip to anywhere, I would go to Japan. I would definitely go to Japan so I can do all the shopping and sightseeing that I want. That would make me happy. Um, if not Japan, then Ireland. I would love to go there too, just to visit."

Backroads and beach bars in Hawaii
"If I could ever go to Hawaii, something I'd love to do is get a Jeep, or bring mine, and go to the Waipi'o Road - Wai- yeah, Waipi'o Road. W-A-I-P-I-O. Might've even spelled it wrong. But it reaches 45% gradients, and it's just a four-by-four road, and it's super steep and super beautiful. I'd definitely go there - or any bar on the beach, really. Just Hawaii would be awesome to visit."

Working in a busy city is the best remote location
"Well, what an awesome question: If I could work remotely from anywhere, where would it be? Um, anywhere in the world? I don't know because I haven't been everywhere but somewhere in Europe. I love a bunch of European cities. Um, New York City's also awesome, and I think there's a ton of places that I would want to work, but as long as there's a lot of hustle and bustle going on around me and I can run off and get coffee and yummy food on my lunch break and just meet new people, that would be awesome."

The mountains of Utah somewhere sound great.
"I would probably set up my home office somewhere in Utah, likely Park City - somewhere in the mountains where you can get away, step away from work for a little while and just catch a breather. Sounds great to me."
Mady S

Hawaiian beach or Prague latte. Either way...
"If I could work from anywhere, you'd catch me on a beach in Hawaii or sipping some, I don't know, foreign latte in Prague."

A deep-sea submarine...if it has good service.
"I mean, if I could choose anything, I'd do, like, a submarine super deep below the ocean because it'd be the last place anyone would ever expect you to be, and honestly, just be incredible if you got good service there."
Sharon H
San Francisco, CA
A fan of Japan geeking out in Tokyo.
"Uh, I would probably go to Tokyo 'cuz I've always wanted to visit Japan. I'm such a huge Japanophile. I love Japanese culture, I love Japanese food, Japanese anime, Japanese songs - I really wanna soak up Japanese culture in Tokyo."

Come work in Hawaii? Count me in!
"Listen, if someone said to me, 'We're going to offer you a round trip to go work remotely on an island in Hawaii. Do you want to-' Don't even finish the sentence. Just come pick me up, 'kay? I am ready to go right now. Right now, okay? Don't waste any time. Don't pass go. Don't collect $200. Come pick me up. Let's go. This sounds like an amazing opportunity, and I've never been to Hawaii. So, count me in."
Tammy H

Working on family time in Vietnam.
"I definitely think I would go back to somewhere like Vietnam, which is my home country, and kind of hang out with my family and also do work there. That would be really fun."
Charnel G
Ohio, USA
Why not beautiful Hawaii?
"Hawaii would be a great fit. I think it's beautiful there. I've always wanted to travel there, and it seems so peaceful and calm, and the people seem super nice. So, I'd go to Hawaii, and I think that's a great option and a great choice. Why not?"
Mary H
Lansdale, PA
All would be alright working in Jamaica.
"If I was offered a free trip to go and work remote anywhere - literally, Jamaica. One, because my dad is from there. Two, like, everyone's so happy and, like, 'irie.' The food is amazing. The sun is shining. I just feel like I would do so much better at work if I was there."
Brandy D
Nashville, TN
Work and watch the water in Maldives or Bora Bora.
"So, if I could work remotely from anywhere, I would be in the Maldives or Bora Bora so I could just sit there and stare at the water, eat fruit all day long while working, and then just jump right into that water and have the best day after I finish what I need to do."
Josh P
Littleton, CO
Putting my Irish love to work.
"Hawaii is offering free round trips for people to come and work there for remote work. I think if anywhere I could go and work, it would be Ireland. I would love to go and work in Ireland. I love the people there, and if I could just do it for free, that's what I would be doing."
Eileen C

Any place in Asia is fine.
"I would go to somewhere in Asia, either Thailand, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong - one of those islands. Any one of them is fine."

Soaking up sun from my tropical workplace.
"If I could work anywhere in the world, I would choose somewhere tropical so that I can work in the sun and enjoy my time."

Really, a round trip to Hawaii? I'm ready!
"Wait, what? Are you kidding me? I can go to Hawaii right now on a round trip and just do my work there in the sun, the paradise, with the drinks and the water? I mean, who would turn that down? I mean, come on, really?"
Beatrice H

Work isn't work in the south of France.
"If I could go anywhere, maybe it would be the south of France. I feel like that's, like, a place I've always wanted to go, and you can, like, take a quick trip up to, like, the cities in the north. Um, and I feel like even if you're working there, it doesn't really seem like much of a job if you're in such a beautiful place."

A nonstop cruise to anywhere and everywhere.
"Okay, no way could I pick one place. If I were gonna work remotely for the rest of my life, I would get a suite or house or whatever on the residency or one of those cruise ships that travels around the world nonstop, forever and, um, live there and just work from anywhere and everywhere."

For water, beauty, and weather - definitely Hawaii.
"My answer would definitely have to be Hawaii because it's beautiful there, I'd be by the water, and it has nice warm weather."
