(Doesn\u2019t mean the whole time will be Vermont \u2013 we\u2019re definitely planning some day trips to other parts of New England, and a weekend in New York City to see a few friends. But it is where we plan to have our base of operations for the fall!)\n\n\n\nThe how is actually pretty straightforward: my job is very remote friendly, so barring the occasional travel day, I can do my job anywhere with a semi-decent internet connection. And Simone is in a remote-friendly graduate program, so again, nothing to hold us in one spot. So if you have that freedom, why not make use of it? I\u2019m still working through all of this, which is also an interesting experiment, to see how I do keeping up with work while traveling.
