I have been planning for a workcation with a friend but a lot of things come to mind when I start looking for places. Has anyone here has genuinely successfully done workcation? How has it been like in terms of:

1. Do you really get your work done? Especially on days of high work-load when your eyes are stuck to the screen for 8 hours?

2. As continuation of above point, sitting for that long on our cushiony ergonomic chairs at home is fine, but do we find that level of comfort to sit for 8-9 hours?

3. Where do you work? Cafés or where you stay? If cafe, doesn’t it feel awkward to sit for the entire day? Don’t you feel pressurised to order things in short intervals?

I think that’s all the questions I have in my mind currently. Really want to give this a shot but worried I might not be able to get my work done nicely due to the factors I asked :(

FYI, planning Varkala during October end or mid-November. Looking for places but not seeing any place comfortable enough to work 8-9 hours.

People who have seriously done this, guide me pleaseee!

Hey everyone!

I'm considering doing a solo workation in Raan Guhaghar sometime around this month and wanted to hear from people who've actually been there.

I'll be working during the day, so I'm mainly trying to figure out whether it's practical to stay there for a full week.

A few things I'd love some real-world feedback on:

• 🍛 Food: How are the food options? Any places/local food I should definitely try?
• 🌴 Overall experience: Is it a good place to spend a week, or does it get a bit too quiet after a few days?
• 📍 Things to see: What are some good places/beaches/attractions nearby that I could explore after work or over the weekend?
• 📶 Internet: How reliable is the mobile network/Wi-Fi? Which SIM/network worked best for you? Also how is their internet connection?
• ⚡ Power cuts: Are power cuts frequent? And are they a problem if you're working remotely?

Would especially love to hear from anyone who's spent a few days or a week there while working remotely.

Thanks!
