Coliving & Remote Work Glossary
What is a Workation?
A workation (work + vacation) is when someone travels to a new destination and continues working remotely while enjoying a change of scenery. Unlike a full-on holiday, you're still on the clock — but maybe with a better view and a beach walk between meetings.
It’s mixing business with pleasure, on purpose.
Why Does the Term Matter for Remote Workers or Travelers?
Workations let you refresh your environment without taking time off. They’re popular among remote workers who want to escape their usual routine, recharge creatively, or extend a holiday while still being productive. For some, it’s a test run of the digital nomad lifestyle — for others, it’s a regular rhythm.
It also helps break the cycle of burnout by combining focused work with travel and leisure.

Common Misconceptions About Workations
“You don’t actually work on a workation.”
You do! You’re just doing it somewhere new — ideally with better weather and fewer distractions.
“It’s only for freelancers or tech people.”
Anyone with a remote job can take a workation — it’s about your schedule, not your industry.
“It’s just a fancy term for vacation.”
Not quite — you’re still working full hours, just with a fresh perspective and setting.
