Remote Rachel

Working Remotely

This is where I document what remote work actually looks like in different cities, not the laptop by the pool version, but the real one. The early calls, the search for reliable WiFi, the café that almost works, the hotel desk that definitely doesn’t, and the small routines that make it sustainable. Every city changes the rhythm of a workday. Light, noise, walkability, weather, time zones, even grocery stores shape how the week feels. In this series, I share what worked, what didn’t, and what I would do differently next time, structured around real workweeks, where I worked, how I organised my days, whether I stayed consistent with running, and how I switched off in the evenings. If you’re curious what remote work looks like beyond the aesthetic, this is where you’ll find it.
