Work and play are no longer two different seasons of life. With remote work (or school) here to stay, we wanted to remind you that working from home doesn’t always have to be working from home. Lean into the flexibility of remote by going on a workation! Or how we like to call them here at RVshare ‘hush trips’. So, what exactly are workations?
Simply put workations = work + vacation coming together to bring you a burst of inspiration and a new backyard for afterwork activities. They get you outside your home but are connected enough to let you clock-in and save the paid time off. Workations can allow you to spend more time outside and no we don’t mean working from your tent.
