Between long commutes and lack of flexibility, not to mention the challenge of working around noisy colleagues, it’s no wonder that many people have started to ditch their office jobs in favor of remote positions. While often, this just means working from home, the beauty of remote jobs is that, for the most part, they can be done from anywhere in the world—a major perk for those of us who love to travel. Read on to learn more about some of the best destinations for remote workers around the globe.

Prague, Czech Republic

In Eastern Europe, Prague has risen as a top destination for remote professionals thanks to its affordable cost of living and abundance of co-working spaces like WeWork. Outside of the office, the Czech capital is home to a diverse cultural scene and large community of expats from all over the world, making it an ideal place for those looking to cultivate new professional and personal connections. 

Bali, Indonesia

For digital nomads looking to go off the beaten path, Bali offers an inexpensive escape in an exotic, laid-back environment. With plenty of cafes and co-working spaces, employees have everything they need to both focus on work and network with other remote professionals on the island. Unwind after hours with a trip to the beach, or spend time exploring the local Hindu temples.
