Meet Alex & Ben
The Remote Work Couple
A couple from the US working for the same tech company, traveling together while managing visa limits and maintaining their remote work schedule.
Their Journey
Alex and Ben's story begins with a simple idea: what if we could travel the world while keeping our jobs?
Alex and Ben both worked for a tech company that allowed remote work. They wanted to travel together and experience different cultures while maintaining their careers. The challenge was managing visa limits, ensuring they stayed compliant across multiple countries, and coordinating their work schedules across time zones. They spent weeks researching visa rules, calculating Schengen days, and worrying about whether they could actually make it work.
The turning point came when they realized they had miscalculated their Schengen days and nearly overstayed their visa in Portugal. That close call made them realize they needed a system that could handle the complexity automatically so they could focus on their relationship and their work.
