We’ve all seen the cliché, a laptop on a beach chair, sun beating down, somehow perfect Wi-Fi. Sure, it looks dreamy, but let’s be honest: sand in your keyboard isn’t exactly ideal, and trying to take a video call while fending off seagulls? Probably not the atmosphere you envisioned.
A real workcation isn’t about pretending to work on vacation. It’s about picking a place that helps you get things done, somewhere that matches your pace, clears your head, and doesn’t make you rethink your entire setup every morning. That’s where EspressoDisplays come in. They’re made for focused, mobile work, no matter where you land, how much gear you bring, or whether your Airbnb table doubles as a dining room and your desk.
If you’re looking for a change of scenery that are work and recreation friendly, here are five NorthAmerican spots that strike the perfect balance.
Banff, Alberta
Atmosphere: Clear skies, crisp air, and complete clarity
Why it works: A mountain escape with Wi-Fi and minimal interruptions. Perfect for solo sprints and strategic deep work. Need a breather? Hop on the Banff Gondola for views that reset your brain, without logging off completely.
Oaxaca, Mexico
Atmosphere: Colorful, cultural, and creatively charged
Why it works: Rooftop cafés, fiber internet, and a city bursting with inspiration. Grab your work setup and dive into productivity, then wander through art markets and mezcal tastings when it’s time to recharge.
Burlington,Vermont
Atmosphere: Small-town calm with big picture thinking
Why it works: Nestled on the shores of Lake Champlain, Burlington blends natural beauty with a strong remote work culture. Walkable downtown, cozy cafés, and just enough entrepreneurial buzz to keep things moving.
Quebec City, Canada
Atmosphere: Storybook charm meets remote-work reliability
Why it works: Cobblestone streets, warm cafés, and impressively strong infrastructure. It’s quiet, beautiful, and productive, with a hint of European flair.
Santa Fe, New Mexico
Atmosphere: Desert calm with serious creative inspiration
Why it works: Historic buildings, sunshine for days, and an art scene that inspires you to think outside the box. Stroll Canyon Road between calls, then head back to your sunlit studio setup ready to be productive.
Wherever you decide to workcation, your remote setup shouldn’t make things harder. Espresso Displays are slim, travel-ready, and built to move when you do. Just plug in with a single USB‑C cable, set it up on any flat surface, and you’ve got a crisp, sharp display. And if you’re using one of our Espresso Touch displays, you get the same portability with the bonus of responsive touch-screen control.
