A mile-high base camp for mountain lovers, where early workdays leave long afternoons for red-rock parks, alpine lakes, and a city scene that is surprisingly vegetarian-friendly.

The land of fire and ice built for road trips, and glacier hikes. Iceland feels otherworldly — and surprisingly is well connected.

The City of Eternal Spring, where mountain views frame every neighborhood and the vegetarian and vegan food scene turned out to be one of the best surprises of my travels.

I spent about two weeks in Helsinki and loved getting to experience the city at a slower pace. Helsinki is incredibly walkable, full of beautiful architecture, parks, cozy cafés and unique experiences. I visited during fall, and the changing leaves made exploring the city even better.

A wild, rugged archipelago where sheep outnumber people, underwater tunnels link scattered islands, and every cliff edge looks like the end of the world.

A coastal city of mountains, beaches, and samba energy where a one-hour time shift from the U.S. East Coast makes remote work feel like an extended lunch break.

Travel Guide · Experiences
San Pedro de Atacama felt genuinely magical. I spent five days using this tiny desert town as my base for exploring the Atacama Desert — Mars-like rock formations, colorful lagoons, flamingos, salt flats, steaming geysers high in the Andes and seemingly endless stars once the sun goes down.

Longer write-ups: what the place was actually like, when I went, what worked and what I would do differently.
© VeggieTravelGirlHelsinki & Ivalo, Finland
Helsinki's food, architecture and sauna culture, then a flight north to Ivalo for Finnish Lapland, remote work on East Coast hours and the Northern Lights.
© VeggieTravelGirlRing Road, Iceland
Glacier hiking, ice caves, waterfalls, black sand beaches and the Northern Lights three times — my favorite experiences from 16 days on Iceland's Ring Road, and what I'd do differently next time.
© VeggieTravelGirlIceland
What happens when you bring a laptop, drone, and hiking boots to one of the most otherworldly countries on Earth? A month of glaciers, Northern Lights, and workdays that ended with volcanic sunsets.
Travel deeper
I don’t always experience a destination in a weekend. Some of my favorite trips have involved staying for weeks while working remotely, giving me time to experience what a place is like beyond the highlights.
© VeggieTravelGirlRio de Janeiro, Brazil
A direct flight from Atlanta, a one-hour time difference, and a city of beaches, mountains, and samba energy made Rio an unexpectedly perfect remote-work base.
© VeggieTravelGirlDenver, Colorado
What happens when you trade your East Coast workday for a mile-high routine? Early clock-outs, red-rock sunsets, and a city that makes it easy to log off and head for the mountains.
© VeggieTravelGirlNorway
What happens when you keep your day job and move to Norway for a month? A QA engineer's solo experiment in remote work, Arctic adventure, and finally seeing the aurora.
