Choose your space
Before booking accommodation, ask about desks, chairs, lighting and Wi-Fi speed. Coworking spaces are a good option for meetings and a social life.
Look after your body
Take short breaks, adjust screen height and keep a steady routine. Sitting on a bed or sofa all day causes problems.
Keep it light
Pack only what you will use. Choose a compact bag and keep cables organised.
Check your employer's security rules before working abroad.
