Make the world your office!
I love the fact that I can work from anywhere. My location serves as my canvas.
One of my favorite places to work from are artful hotel lobbies. The elegant and alive-with-energy setting of an upscale hotel inspires me – in both on and off “work hours”.
In case you’ve never done such a thing, allow me to offer a nudge: You don’t need to stay, for example, at the Ritz Carlton to use it as a perfect excuse to get dressed up, walk in with confidence, be greeted with grace by the concierge, and find a comfortable place to sit with a notebook or laptop. You can embrace the social atmosphere and order a beverage too, if you’d like – it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, right?
I introduced my sister to the fun of this while visiting her in Vermont. Two miles from her home, we found a swanky hotel that she had never walked into. We decided in advance to order coffee and when we did, much to our surprise, we were shone to a complimentary fresh coffee bar and invited to please help ourselves. Following my lead, she and I expressed our thanks and proceeded to enjoy free coffee. 🙂
Make the world your office! You never know who you’ll meet, what you’ll find, or what impromptu conversations you’ll have. A simple “Where’s home?” or “Are you in town for business?” are easy conversation starters.
I encourage you: Do it, and let me know how it goes!
The pictures seen here was during a visit to Hotel Monaco, which served well as my virtual headquarters for the day. Seeing and hearing the comings and goings of people from all over the world, were the perfect backdrop.

Tell me: Where are YOU working from today?
Today I’m working from home. Most days I work from home. I am fortunate to work for a company and have a job that does not require my presence in order to do my job. Due to being on conference calls most of the time, it’s tough to work where it’s noisy. However, when my day is call free, you can find me for part of the day at my favorite coffee shop 🙂 (and for the first 56 days of 2017, I’ll be working from Key West!)
Nice, Peggy! Working remotely offers so many possibilities…
What fun! I will give this a try 🙂 Sounds like a great way to mix up the scenery a bit.
Great, Lea! Hope you’ll report back and share how it goes! 🙂
What a wonderful idea, Tara! I will definitely try it sometime for sure. I already see it as a wonderful opportunity to get some writing done. Thank you 🙂
Eager to hear how it goes, Claudia! Make the world your office. 🙂
