Work-cations made to your schedule

Workcations are the best

Why I Do This

I've spent 35+ years in the travel industry watching the same thing happen: talented remote professionals sacrifice travel for work, or sacrifice work for travel. They think they have to choose.

They don't.

That realization—and the conviction that workcations should be designed, not improvised—is why I started Platinum Journeys Travel and why workcations have become my specialty.

What is a Workcation?

A workcation isn't a vacation where you work. It's a strategically designed trip where your work schedule and your travel schedule complement each other.

Here's the real version:

You work 4-6 focused hours in the morning—usually 8 AM to 12 PM or 1 PM—from a reliable workspace with good Wi-Fi. You finish your most important work, your deep focus time, your strategic thinking. Then you're done.

The rest of the day—afternoon and evening—is yours. Snorkeling. Hiking. Museums. Beach time. Cooking classes. Yacht charters. Wine tastings. Local exploration. Whatever restores you.

No guilt. No checking emails at sunset. No half-attention to either work or travel.

Both, fully.

How I Design Your Workcation

It starts with a real conversation.

I schedule a consultation call—30 minutes, no pressure—where I ask about your actual work reality:

• How many hours do you genuinely need to work daily?
• What time zone matters? (Are you US-based but coordinating with EU clients?)
• Do you have specific meeting times or client calls?
• What's your ideal work/explore ratio? (Some people want 4 hours work, 8 hours explore. Others want 6 and 6.)
• Where in the world are you drawn to?
• What does luxury mean to you? (Private space? Fine dining? Exclusive access? Mix?)
• What's your budget comfort level?
• When do you want to travel?
• Are there non-negotiables or must-see experiences?

Then I design. Not based on templates or "best of" lists. Based on you.

What I Design

Custom day-by-day itineraries that include:

• Accommodation: Hotels or villas with verified strong Wi-Fi, dedicated workspace (desk, not just coffee table), and amenities that matter to you
• Work blocks: Clearly structured morning hours with backup Wi-Fi plan and coworking space options
• Afternoon/evening activities: Curated experiences (restaurants, tours, water sports, cultural immersion—whatever fits your style)
• Logistics: Flights, ground transport, restaurant reservations, activity pre-booking
• Support: 24/7 availability during your trip for adjustments, questions, recommendations

I specialize in moderate-to-luxury destinations. I know which ones have solid infrastructure. I have relationships with accommodation providers, coworking spaces, local guides, and restaurant owners. I know where the real experiences are—not the tourist traps.
