Today’s generation of workers is challenging the old norms of travel and work. Offices have been exchanged for co-working spaces and remote working now allows a fortunate few to travel full-time. Indeed, the growing trend that is the nomad lifestyle has created a new challenge, which some countries are embracing – finding innovative ways to accommodate the remote-working traveller.
I’m one of these young nomads, a full-time motorhomer, exploring Europe and sustaining my travels through writing and photography.
One country in particular that has been fully embraced by younger ‘van-lifers’ is Portugal. It’s easy to understand why – with a sunny climate, stacks of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and wonderful coastal scenery, it’s a fantastic place to explore. The mild winters, especially in the Algarve to the south, and warm and sunny summers make it an all-year destination.
I’ve enjoyed several months travelling around, exploring the country’s spectacular landscapes and one-of-a-kind beaches.
