Has anybody lived in a different city just for a change while working remotely?

Thinking to move out of Seattle for a month or so to explore other cities with good weather conditions and active outdoor life in summers.

Thinking about Bay Area /New York/ Chicago.

Any suggestions/ AirBnB tips?

    Chicago is the best summer city hands down, just wait until June-sept when it’s best.

    Skip Bay Area in summer, or at least SF. Fall is the best time of year in SF.

  • Yes I am doing it right now as well. The last 2 years in short for me:

    2021:
    JAN-APRIL = Austin (lived in Austin for years prior)
    APRIL-JULY = Hawaii
    JULY-DEC = Austin (Company announced RTO then cancelled it so I got a new lease, thankfully only a 7 month one)

    2022:
    Found a new remote job
    JAN-FEB = Austin (lease ended)
    FEB-MAY = NYC (currently here)
    MAY-AUG = Seattle (planned)
    AUG-NOV = Chicago, or Philly (or both, planned)

    Don't know what's next after that... but I have really enjoyed NYC so far and my team is based here so maybe I convert to hybrid in the future. I would love to be able to do international one day, maybe on one of those remote working visa's countries are introducing.

    Oh and for the record I list my parents house in Dallas as my home address. I do spend maybe a total of 6-8 weeks there in the year in between other locations. IDK if this counts as tax evasion lmao, not trying to do anything shady, I would happily pay local taxes in each of these locations for the time spent there... but that sounds complex.

      Yeah that makes sense. My wife doesn’t really party, but she had a β€œbaddie friend” or whatever the kids call them these days go there and now she wants to as well lol

      Hopefully I can find a resort that is fairly relaxing and drink the whole time on the beach
