This might be the most dotcom-ish post I've read since joining HackerNews.
Don't get me wrong on this but even the argumentation is clearly wrong here:
> work in places so magical they could be on the cover of travel magazines
> under an umbrella on a beach in Senegal, in cafes in old Arab medinas, and more
> Adventurous Startups.
and then
> YOU’LL BE MORE FOCUSED
I've tried this myself and my experience was that working abroad is totally doable but by no means did I achieve focusing more on my work.
Instead I would pick any chance meeting new people and discover the new environment.
Also: In my opinion everything comes down to networking, which is why a lonely beach in Marocco might not be the right place to start this...
- majditoumi 12y agoIt's not for everyone clearly. When you actually spend more than a couple of weeks, you stop getting that need to discover and talk to people, and get to work super productively (one of the reason is: you can't wait to go back to enjoying the place). This solution works if you have a 100% online product, or if you opt to travel at the right stage for your startup (when you have had networked for now, when you're pivoting etc).
