A month working remotely from Bratislava - a high-rise flat on the Danube, patchy wifi, a cold in week one, and one of my more productive months at work. Also the month my biggest travel worry quietly came true.
30 days working remotely from Kastela, on the Dalmatian coast just outside Split. A private villa with a roof terrace, calm water minutes away, and a workflow that mostly held up - but also started giving me ideas about how to untether even further from the desk.
A month of remote work from Rome - where world-class history is a 20-minute walk from your desk, but the local cafes want you in and out. Here's how the AI-first workflow held up against API rate limits and Italian work culture.
I wanted to track my travels across Europe without handing my location data to Google. So I built a self-hosted GPS system that pings every 5 minutes, stores everything on my Raspberry Pi, and displays it on a private map only my devices can see.
28 days working remotely from Lisbon - how the AI-first manager pattern, a travel router, and a good routine made it one of my most productive months yet.
The manager/agent pattern is inherently async - spawn work, go live your life, come back to results. AI-first development and the nomad lifestyle are a natural fit.
