A sunny terrace, in the background the sea or a swimming pool, palm leaves which provide a little shadow and an individual – rather young – in Bermuda and sunglasses, seated in front of a laptop … The legend Specifies that teleworking can be practiced everywhere, so why not in an exotic country?
Since it is possible to telework full time and at a distance, the employees began to want to do it from abroad. And this trend is increasing. Even if it means spending time in front of a screen, as much as it is in the sun and the feet in the water or in its country of origin.
