Your Essential Workation Checklist
By following this checklist, you can ensure a smooth and enjoyable workation experience while staying productive and connected to your work commitments. Safe travels and happy workationing! 🌍 ✈️
Before your Workation
Remote work policy:
Most employers have a remote work policy that outlines the rules for workations. We strongly recommend that you read this document in advance, as it will clarify many potential issues. If your employer does not have this policy, they should contact LUBYO.com.
Passport and Visa:
Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your planned return date. Check if you need a visa for the country you're visiting and arrange it in advance if necessary. Many non-EU countries offer digital nomad visas for longer stays. There are a lot of resources about this online. Here is one example: https://freakingnomads.com/digital-nomad-visa-countries/
Accommodation:
Book a comfortable and suitable accommodation with reliable Wi-Fi and a designated workspace. Consider coworking spaces nearby for a change of scenery. By the way, all destinations on LUBYO.com are suitable for work, with a comfortable coworking space already included in the price. We save your time on research.
Logistics:
Make sure you know how to get to your accommodation. Is public transportation available? If you plan to rent a car, try to reserve it at least 2 months in advance to avoid higher costs.
Travel Insurance:
Purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellation and lost luggage. LUBYO.com can help you make the right choice. Please note that the medical insurance provided by your employer only covers cases that would normally occur in a work situation during working hours. All other issues are not covered.
Remote Work Essentials:
Laptop and charger
Reliable internet connection - this is guaranteed if you book one of the destinations offered by LUBYO.com
Necessary work documents and files
Headset or headphones for virtual meetings
Power adapter if traveling to a country with different plug types

It can also be very helpful to just talk to someone who has already been on a workation and can share their experience with you. Try asking your friends or colleagues, and of course, we at LUBYO.com are always happy to share our knowledge with you - contact us using our contact form.
