Playa Zipolite. Welcome To The Beach Of The Dead!: Remote Working Tips

A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Remote Working Tips

SCF Flight Expert Willis is always on the go, working from amazing spots around the world. With more workers able to do the same, we turned to Willis for his expert tips on how to plan a trip combining work and travel.

Scott’s Cheap Flights is, and has always been, an all-remote workplace, with over 50 travel-loving employees who are always itching to get out and explore the world.

In my three years here, I’ve sent emails from floating villages on Lake Titicaca, done Zoom calls from trains in rural Sicily, and been on live TV from a tiny town on a dirt road in Costa Rica. I’ve gotten pretty dang good at packing up my laptop (And my dog. And my baby.) and hitting the road for a few weeks or months at a time, and I’ve also picked up some pointers from my coworkers along the way.

If you’re someone who’s got a remote work arrangement and are ready to work from an exotic locale but are not quite sure how to get started, read on, friend, we’ve got you.

The world is your oyster—here’s how to pick your pearl

My biggest advice here is to follow your heart (and the deals), but the main things to consider are:

The local cost of living & renting a work-friendly place to stay
Time zone (more on that below)
Visas (how long can you stay before getting the boot? Do you need to apply for a visa?)
Your personal WFH travel approach (we’ll start here)
