Our three months work and travel program facilitates travel and accommodations for working professionals who are interested in the digital nomads experience from A to Z so that you can focus on your company and your experiences.With the rise of ubiquitous connectivity, people no longer need to be physically together to do great work. More companies add remote working options every day as they realize the benefits of opening their talent pool globally and getting better work results from happier employees. Not to mention saving office space costs. Forbes reported that by 2025, millennials will account for 75% of the global workforce, and 92% of millennials want to work remotely. Millennials today have shown that they prioritize experiences over ownership with the rapid rise of the sharing economy. Now unshackled from their desks, they are ready to give up the permanence of a home for the excitement of life on the road. These two sweeping cultural shifts have created GoRemote. Show less
