If you work from home, we've all been there: You're grateful for the flexibility, but you also find yourself stuck at home for three days straight and dying for a change of scenery. If that's you, and you're interested in dipping your toe in the water of remote work travel, this post might be for you.

The whole trip seemed straightforward enough, so I booked an apartment in Venice a week before my flight, and I asked absolutely ZERO questions about what would happen after getting off the plane.

Traveling while working somehow comes with guilt from multiple directions. On one hand, you find yourself with travel FOMO while you're working; on the other, it's fear that you're not doing as well as you could be at work. Here's a breakdown of traveler's guilt and the ways I manage it.

I grew up going to Jacksonville for family vacations. I'm sure my family had a lot of reasons for choosing it, but regardless, the JAX area became a place we returned to frequently, whether it was Ponte Vedra, Amelia Island, or good ol' Neptune Beach. As an adult, it's become a beach I'm quite fond of, beyond just the nostalgia of my childhood. So the review in short? Jacksonville Beach is worth a visit, despite how often it's overlooked.
