As a working professional, it is always a great idea to change your scenery and refresh your mind now and again. Being productive as a working adult can be difficult, and sometimes the best thing you can do is have a change of pace and a change of everything you thought you knew. 

Have you ever considered working abroad? If your job allows remote working or you work for yourself, taking the opportunity to work in another part of the world can be a magical thing and one of the best decisions you ever make. 

Today we want to take a look at some of the biggest perks of working abroad and why you should consider it as a fresh start for you in 2022.

Escape from real life 
One of the best reasons to work abroad is to escape the monotony of your regular life. If you have been working from home since the start of COVID or you have been at the same job for a long time, a change might be needed and finding a serviced office to rent abroad could be the medicine you need. Experiencing work in a whole new setting can bring you a renewed sense of purpose and you may find that you can work more productively and efficiently than you did at home. 

Enjoy a stunning view
What could be better than waking up in a beautiful new country and working with a view over an amazing city or seascape? Sometimes the change of scenery is all you need to spur you on and the ability to enjoy a new part of the world is a privilege and will help you to feel like you are living life to the fullest. Consider making the change even if only for a month or two and see what a difference it can make to your mental state. 

Work on the beach 
Laptops are one of the best inventions of the last century and they allow us to take our work with us pretty much anywhere as long as we have wifi or a hotspot we can use. If you have your own hotspot, imagine how amazing it would feel to take your work down to the beach and enjoy some vitamin D while making your living? Working on the beach can be such a great change of pace and the sunshine will make you feel happier and healthier too. 

Experience a different culture 
If you are the type of person who loves to learn - working in a whole new country can be a huge opportunity. Depending on the country you work in, people might not speak the same language and their culture could be vastly different to your own. The chance to learn about new people and their culture is a great opportunity and during your stay you will likely pick up a few local words and phrases you can take back with you when you leave. 

Working abroad is something you should consider this year for a change of pace.
