I would like to do this, but my big (and therefore slow moving) company didn't release any guidance on when we were coming back to the office, so I just renewed my lease for a full year.

That being said, when we're scheduled to go back (next June), I plan on trying to work completely remotely, and then attempt to travel in a much more extensive way.

Right here with you. I don’t even know when I’m supposed to go back into the office, but I definitely thought about taking out an AirBnB for a couple months in somewhere like Provo.

I took half work Airbnb’s throughout the pandemic. Worked great for me.

The only problem is finding good internet. All they’ll tell you is if that have wifi or not even consistently working wifi. I learned quickly You gotta research this part deeply yourself.

The WiFi thing is definitely an issue. I've found good results on AirBnB by filtering for business reviews. I figure that business travellers are going to hold a quality WiFi connection in higher regard than someone who's just travlling for fun.
