"Using Mexico as a home base, they've spent a few months at a time in Brazil, Indonesia, the United States, Singapore, Europe and Britain. Being online during New Zealand business hours means Hughes starts work at 5.30am when she's in Southeast Asia, then has the afternoon and evening free to go exploring. In Mexico, where they have temporary residency, she starts late and works into the night."
"All she needs is a Wi-Fi connection sometimes hotspotting off her phone but juggling the time differences can be tricky. In Britain and Europe, that was particularly challenging. Daylight savings took my small time window to no window, she says. My boss told me not to do that again. Jen Hughes working at the beach in Cumbuco, a fishing village on the northeast coast of Brazil. The weather in France was too cold, anyway, for a family who chase summer."
Jen Hughes has been travelling with her husband Brendon and their 11-year-old son Will for three years, using Mexico as a home base while spending months in Brazil, Indonesia, the United States, Singapore, Europe and Britain. Hughes works online during New Zealand business hours, starting at 5.30am in Southeast Asia and working late in Mexico, relying on Wi‑Fi or phone hotspots. Juggling time differences and daylight savings can be difficult. The family travels mostly on tourist visas, keeps a car and storage in Mexico, and packs lives into suitcases while enjoying local activities, community classes and lower living costs.
