The ideal remote work situation to me would revolve around the ability to travel, want to go to Hawaii for two weeks? No big deal. People who talk about using a remote job to move to X city seem a bit detached from reality in my opinion.
You still have to do work. So yes, you can fly to Hawaii for two weeks, pay for flights, hotel bills, meals, none of which are reimbursed because these are not corporate expenses we're talking about.
And then you stay in the hotel or somewhere else plugged in for a long time to do the actual work they are paying you for.
And then maybe go do something in Hawaii for a few hours.
It's definitely not the same experience off taking a week off, which i also enjoy but usually reserve for camping/backcountry trips.
