A blend of "work" and "vacation," a working arrangement where individuals, particularly freelancers or remote employees, combine their professional responsibilities with a vacation.
Instead of taking time off work entirely, they travel to a different location, often a desirable or exotic destination, and continue to perform their job duties while enjoying the benefits of a new environment. This approach aims to enhance work-life balance, boost creativity, and improve overall well-being by allowing individuals to work remotely in a more relaxed and inspiring setting. Workations can lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction as employees benefit from a change of scenery and a more flexible lifestyle.
