Sure, working from home isn’t always glamorous. And being able to work remotely also means you’re often expected to work all the time in any situation, which can make it difficult to find genuine "off" time.
But some remote workers have found a way to perfectly balance the fact that they need to be on the clock with the fact that they’re in some of the most beautiful and relaxing locations in the world. And, understandably, they have taken time to snap a picture to show off their incredibly beautiful office backdrops for the world to see.
These are the most idyllic and peaceful remote working locations that people have shared. Some are easy to access. Others definitely put the "remote" in "working remotely." But all of them are a great reminder that a change of scenery can sometimes make going to work significantly more enjoyable.
