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.
