workcation
Laptop by pool
A workcation combines work and vacation—traveling to a desirable location while continuing to perform job duties remotely.
Unlike a true vacation, you're still answering emails and attending meetings, just from a beach house or mountain cabin: I'm taking a workcation in Costa Rica next month.
The appeal is a change of scenery without burning through paid time off.
