How timely. Right now I'm sitting in a house on the beach in Tolú, Colombia. I work remote 32 hours/week for my employer in Denmark doing development, sysadmin and consulting.

I'm here with my wife and my two kids (4 and <1 years) and we've been on the road for almost a month.

So far it's been great. It took a few days to get started with remote work; tooling, getting the computer set up for low bandwidth work etc. I don't have fixed working hours, although I try to work a few hours in the morning and then 3-4 hours at night after the kids are sleeping. That might change soon, though, as I think we'll have to incorporate a proper siesta after lunch for my wife and the kids' sake; I'll probably use that to work. It's just too hot in the middle of the day here to do anything if you're not used to the heat (and even then -- the locals have siesta as well).

We're staying in this place for three more weeks (been here one week), and then we're off to another place. Currently it looks like we'll buy a used car to avoid some of the hassle of traveling with kids and to be able to see places off the beaten path. We're talking about heading North to Santa Marta, but nothing is planned yet.

I've been working from home in Denmark for some months before we left, so my family is somewhat used to me shutting them out when I'm working (or trying to). Re: work ethics: I guess it helps loving what you do -- although the beach is really inviting when it's pushing 35 degrees outside... Realizing that the reason why we're even here in the first place is due to the trust of my employer helps as well!
