> Travel Light

Mobility is a benefit of working remotely. Don’t boil the ocean with heavy, cumbersome computers when a small, powerful, device will do.

> Focus On Network Access

Wherever you travel, you’ll need to ensure that you have a good Internet connection so you can stay in touch with the office. Plan ahead, and don’t skimp.

> Manage Your Paper

If your business involves some documents that cannot be digitized, avoid having paperwork sent to your mobile location. Have someone to process paperwork at the office.

> Maintain A Backup Plan

You’re in Costa Rica and your computer goes down. What to do? Consider a contract with a maintenance company that can replace your system via courier, or a small, lightweight backup netbook or tablet that travels with you.

> Remember, You’re Still At work

The temptation may be to go scuba diving all day if you’re in a holiday location. But working remotely means working. Self-discipline and time management are all-important. Leave the bar hopping until the evening.
