The pandemic forced millions of people worldwide to work from home, and though that came with its challenges, it also has its perks. No commuting, a relaxed dress code, and remote working mean you can work from anywhere in the world.
To help remote workers get out of the house and enjoy a well-deserved work-cation, online travel agency KAYAK is hosting the Roam Remotely Sweepstakes, giving one lucky person $10,000 to go on a trip and work from anywhere in the world.
The winning remote worker will be given four AMEX cards, each worth $2,500, so they can pick their destination and spend their prize money as they see fit.
Entering the Roam Remotely Sweepstakes is easy. Interested remote workers only have to fill out their basic information (first name, last name, email address, and country of residence) on the contest’s webpage. Remote workers must be at least 18 years old and a U.S. resident to be eligible.
Submissions for the sweepstakes are open now through Feb. 4 at 11:59 a.m. EST. They will announce on Feb. 7.
The lucky person selected for the Roam Remotely Sweepstakes will have a world full of destinations to choose from for their work-cation. In the early days of the pandemic, several countries created new visa programs specifically with laptop-wielding employees and business owners in mind. These visas allow remote workers to spend extended periods in these countries—longer than the typical tourist visa—without registering as an official resident.
Countries with remote worker visas include Bali, Barbados, Costa Rica, Croatia, Dubai, Estonia, Germany, Iceland, Malta, Mexico, Norway, Portugal, and many more.
