I have recently received several ads on LinkedIn regarding workation. I am not sure if I think it sounds stupid or not.

I get the appeal of going south (I am from Denmark, we just had the most rainy summer ever recorded) and enjoy the weather, but at the same time it sounds like the perfect way to not enjoy your time abroad.

I work in a position where I could easily ask to work remote for a week or two, thus the targeting ad is correct that I am in the segment.

Any thoughts, experience or opinion on this?

The problem is that it gets presented as a way to take time off from your job with "unlimited" vacation time while still working, which of crap.

The idea only works as a more extreme form of remote work. So, remote work where some of the time is at Grandma's.

    not to say all the places that I've been to reliability of stuff like Internet, and so on has been very has been very bad in most places you would like to be.  Given you're expected to perform your normal work. This might be quite stressful.
