Hey, I am Ayushi — a chartered accountant and a Kiwi living in London who travels while working full-time. I have been doing this since 2019 — six-plus years — across 52+ countries.
I started traveling while working during COVID, when everyone suddenly realized you could work from anywhere with decent wifi. At first, I used regular travel guides. But I kept running into the same problem: they were written for people who had all day to explore. The itineraries started at 9am and went until sunset. The hotel recommendations focused on location and breakfast, never mentioning if there was a proper desk or whether the wifi could handle anything beyond Instagram.
When you are working mornings and only have afternoons free, or when you need to hop on a video call and your Airbnb wifi suddenly dies, you need different information.
So I started keeping my own notes. Which hotels actually had desks that did not face walls. Which cafés had enough outlets and did not care if you stayed for three hours. How to plan a day when you only have a few free hours. What the wifi situation really was, not just “free wifi available.”
The places I keep coming back to in these guides are the ones I have stayed in long enough to have a regular café order — Porto, Tbilisi, Tromsø, Seoul, Bari, Brussels. Not just passed through.
That is what this blog is. The guides I wish I had when I started working remotely and traveling.
How I Research What I Write
How I test hotels
I book and stay in everything I recommend. I test wifi from the desk, not the bed.
How I pay for stays
I pay for my own accommodation unless I say otherwise — no comped stays go unmentioned.
How I source prices
Prices include the date I visited so you can calibrate for season. If something cost 1.20, I write 1.20, not “around one euro.” The chartered accountant background means I track things by line item — accommodation separate from food separate from transport — so you can actually use the numbers.
What I Write About
I focus on the practical infrastructure that makes working while traveling actually work.
Where to stay when you need to work
Hotels and apartments with proper desks, strong wifi, good lighting, quiet rooms. Honest neighborhood breakdowns so you know where the laptop-friendly cafés are before you book.
Laptop-friendly cafés and coworking spaces
Where to work when your accommodation wifi fails at 4pm on a Tuesday. Which cafés welcome long stays and which ones give you dirty looks after an hour. Which coworking spaces are worth paying for versus which ones are just expensive cafés with worse coffee.
Itineraries for limited time
What to do when you only have afternoons and evenings free. How to see a city in 2–3 hour blocks. What to prioritize and what to skip when you cannot dedicate eight hours a day to sightseeing.
Practical information
Real costs with currency conversion. Transport apps. eSIMs. Where to find a quiet spot for an emergency Zoom call. Power adapters. The boring infrastructure stuff that no one writes about but everyone actually needs.
Who This Is For
This blog is for people who work while they travel. Maybe you are fully remote and can work from anywhere. Maybe you work part-time or have a side hustle you need to keep up with. Maybe you only travel for a week or two at a time and still need to stay on top of work.
This blog will be helpful if:
- You need to know which hotels have strong wifi and proper desks before you book
- You want itineraries that work when you only have afternoons free
- You need backup plans for when your accommodation wifi inevitably fails
- You value honest cost breakdowns and practical logistics
This is not a lifestyle blog and it is not written for people who have quit their jobs to travel. It is written for people who are still working — and want to travel anyway.
