Hostels are the cheapest type of travel accommodation, but they’re not a good fit for all types of trips. Work trips and hostels usually don’t mix together, and here are a few things you should keep in mind before booking a hostel room for your work trip.

The Trouble With Hostels

Hostels are the cheapest place to stay, but you should think twice before booking them for a work trip. The lack of privacy will be the main problem that you’re dealing with here, and it can distract you when you’re trying to work and make it impossible to participate in work meetings.

Private Room

One way to solve the hostel’s privacy problem is to stay in a private room. You’ll get to stay at a hostel for cheap and meet a lot of new people, while still having a quiet place to work.

Working Area

Hostels are not really the type of place where you’ll usually get a designated working area, but there are exceptions to this rule. If you insist on staying at hostels during your work trip, always opt for a place where there’s a table with a chair available, preferably in your dorm. Making sure that Wi-Fi is stable is also a must, and it comes in handy if they have a computer on the premises.

Hostels come with a long list of benefits, starting with their low price, but there are times when you should think twice when booking them. Work trips and hostels don’t always mix well together, and here are three things you should keep in mind before going down this road.

Weak Internet Connection

If you’re thinking of booking a hostel for your vacation, make sure it has a strong internet connection. Wi-Fi at hostels tends to be weak because there are a lot of people using it at once and it can’t reach all the rooms. Always go through the reviews and see if some of the past guests had to deal with these problems.

Lack of Privacy

The biggest problem with staying at hostels is the lack of privacy, and things can get more daunting than ever when you’re trying to work. If you can’t concentrate when there are too many people around you, hostels might not be your thing, unless you’re staying in a private room.

Online Meetings

Even if you manage to get over the lack of privacy, staying at a hostel can become tricky if you have frequent Zoom meetings with your co-workers. Looking for a secluded place or using a noise-canceling microphone is an option, but you should always expect the unexpected.

Working from home basically means that you can work from anywhere, and many people are using workations to shake up their routine. If you’re thinking of embarking on one, finding accommodation is the first step that you’ll have to take, and these useful tips will help you make the right choice.

Internet Connection

When working remotely, a good internet connection should be your no. 1 priority. You can work from local cafés or use an international SIM card, but expenses will pile up if you do this all the time, and that’s why you should always carefully read reviews and make sure that your accommodation has a good internet connection.

No Distractions

Working remotely requires a lot of concentration, and you’ll have trouble with this if you’re staying at a hostel. It’s much better to book an apartment or a room that offers some privacy so you wouldn’t be distracted. Having an office desk and comfy chair in your room always comes in handy.

Longer Stay

Are you going to embark on a workation that only lasts a few days or stay in one place for a prolonged period of time? In case of shorter trips, Booking and Airbnb will do just fine, but you should look for a cheaper apartment that you can pay monthly if you’re staying for longer.

If you’re looking for a way to switch up your “work from home” routine, how about changing your home office for an exciting new place? Workations can be super-fun once you figure out how to find a balance between working and traveling, and these three tips will help you get there.

No Procrastination

We’ve all dealt with procrastination while working from home, but waiting for the good mood to hit so you would finish your tasks is out of the question during workations. If you find yourself struggling with concentration, explore the city for a few hours if you don’t have a strict deadline, and go back to work once you’re back at your hotel or Airbnb.

Have a Plan

If you’re not used to scheduling your daily task, your workation is the perfect time to start. Having a plan in place will help you finish up your work, ease into a routine, and balance business and pleasure without breaking a sweat.

No. 1 Priority

Don’t get so wrapped up in your regular vacation mindset that you forget what your main priority is. A workation isn’t just a regular trip where you can go sightseeing and relax on the beach all day long. Work is still your main priority, and you should remember to treat it that way.

Workations are one of the most popular trends in the world of travel right now. They allow you to mix business and pleasure, but earning more money than you spend should be your priority. If you’re struggling to make your workation budget-friendly, these three tips will get you there.

Accommodation Choice

To fully experience a new place during a workation, you should stick around for a few weeks. Renting place day-to-day isn’t the ideal option in this case and looking for a local place to stay at once you reach your workation destination is a great money saver.

Eating Habits

It’s totally fine if you want to try some local specialties during your visit, but remember not to go overboard and don’t eat at overpriced restaurants every day. Trying street food, eating at local places, and preparing your own food with produce you bought at the market will save you a lot of cash.

Destination Pick

Your destination choice can make or break your workation. Countries with a high living standard have a lot to offer, but cheap prices aren’t one of those things. You should aim for destinations that are generally considered as affordable and compare the prices of accommodation, food, transportation, and other important expenses before your trip.
