Travel, collaborate, excel: Remote work stories from the road

January 19, 2024

Working remotely and the freedom to travel and meet colleagues internationally are just a few benefits for First Line Software employees. As an international team we value learning from each other's different cultures and experiences, while sharing our own fresh perspectives and enjoying collaborative workspaces.

Our globally-minded team has embraced this First Line Software benefit with what we call Workations. By taking a Workation our teammates can travel to any of our offices worldwide and make it their workplace for the day, or even a few weeks!

Let’s hear some incredible travel stories from our colleagues who have taken Workations around the world. It just might inspire us all to book our next big adventure abroad! 

Colleagues Co-Work in Colombia

A group of colleagues based across Latin America took a Workation together to meet fellow teammates in Colombia! The team met for the warm and festive Christmas Heritage Gala in Bogota to enjoy music, dancing, and plenty of delicious food! And besides all the fun and merriment, they had a chance to connect and work face-to-face for deeper bonds!

Let's hear what our teammates had to say about their journey to Bogota!

Leandro Santos | Senior Azure DevOps Engineer | Brazil

“My recent trip to Colombia with First Line Software was exceptional. It was an enlightening experience, broadening my understanding of Latin America and strengthening my connections with colleagues and the company. I gained valuable insights from the team in Colombia and our strategic plans for expanding in the region.”

Flavio Naves Jr. | Intersystems Developer | Brazil

“I sincerely thank FLS for providing an incredible experience that shaped my view on cultural diversity and broadened my horizons. It was a transformative experience that taught me a great deal about the richness and beauty of Latin America. I met extraordinary people, delved into local customs, and savored fantastic cuisine. Each moment was a valuable learning experience I will carry with me forever!”

Kevin Ortmann | Technical Recruiter | Argentina

“I had the pleasure of connecting with these amazing people of First Line Software. From meaningful conversations to shared laughter at our Christmas party, it was truly special. I am grateful for the opportunity to know these wonderful people and eagerly anticipate the day we meet again!”

Outside of Latin America, our colleagues have taken solo trips to visit teammates and even work remotely! From German cities to the United States countryside, our colleagues are spreading their knowledge while picking up lessons from the road!

Konstantin Loginov | Senior QA Automation Engineer | Montenegro

“I went to Germany for a Workation for a week. I believe that it’s a perfect chance to see the country as more than a tourist and hear real-life experiences from your colleagues.”

“I went to the new FLS office in the city center near the main street and was the first foreign guest there! It was so exciting!”

“I appreciated the charm of Stuttgart, particularly the main square, for its vibrant atmosphere, historic architecture and and cultural attractions.”

Natalie Miller | Content Writer | Prague 

“It’s been amazing getting to visit Virginia and seeing my family and friends. I’m originally from the US and currently live in Prague. But I don’t get to go home very often. So I’m grateful that with Workation, I can travel while still doing my job and keeping up with meetings.”

“My favorite part of the trip, besides seeing my loved ones, has been getting to explore new parts of Virginia I’ve never seen before.”

“I love loving in a city, but it’s been really refreshing seeing more farmland and open spaces. That’s more what I grew up with.”
