This winter, Formstack gave me the unique opportunity to work abroad while I traveled throughout Southeast Asia. (Check the featured image! That's me working beach-side in Phuket via tethered internet service.) Five years ago this would be an extraordinary situation, but now as more and more companies embrace remote working, I think we will see more opportunities like this for remote workers.
But to work/travel abroad safely and efficiently, there are many things that you need to do to make it a success. Here’s a list of the things I found most helpful and important (many of them learned the hard way!).
T-Mobile offers an awesome international plan to avoid roaming charges in other countries. But if you want to keep your current plan, you can buy a tourist SIM card in another country (usually cheaper) and swap your card out. Or you can buy an international SIM card before you leave. Here’s a good International SIM Card guide. If you get another SIM card, be sure to “Suspend Your Service” of your current plan so you don’t have to pay for unused cell phone service back home.
PRO TIP: Depending on where you are, and if you can get unlimited data on your SIM card’s plan, you can tether your laptop to your phone and get internet through the mobile service. Now anyplace with a cellphone reception (ie beach, hillside, scenic overlook) is a potential workplace. BOOM: instant game-changer.
In Thailand, I was 12 hours ahead of my coworkers. To be apart of important early week meetings, I’d often be working 7pm to midnight just so I could participate in video chats and be tuned in to what the team was working on. However, this 5 hours in the evening gave me ample time in the morning to enjoy the city I was in and do some sightseeing during the day.
