It can all happen at once. In fact – it did happen, last week for the DevOops team. And there was (almost) no Oops at all 😊
Thursday morning, part of the DevOops team left for the seaside. Equipped with laptops, chargers, a couple of babies and all accompanied by their “better halves”.

- Here is the “How to”, step by step:
- Book a place. It will be great if it covers the following:
- Cozy
- Villa/s just for us
- Large living room with a table big enough for the equipment
- Remote from any civilization
- Close to a beach/other nice places for leisure activities
- Bring equipment
- Laptops
- Routers
- Chargers
- Cellphones with enough data as a backup
- Bring other apparel:
- Proper clothing – Swimsuits, shirts, evening dress, etc.
- Utensils, knives, chainsaw, jigsaw, a pile of firewood, toys, lotion, etc.
- Food and drinks depending on the location and the tastes.
- Book a place. It will be great if it covers the following:
- What went well:
- We had all the access needed and did not experience any issues, except for a couple of VPN’s who dropped from time to time.
- The working area was good – there were almost no other people around the same pool
- The living area was good, family villas with large rooms and well-equipped kitchens.
- Impediments we fought:
- We ensured there is internet, but WiFi was not available in the villas. On top of that, we forgot the WiFi routers, we were going to bring.
- Colleagues with older laptops experienced battery issues. On top of that in the public area, there were no power sources and we had to fight the locals and steal electricity 😊 (in our case, from the fridge with the Icecream)
- Hotspots did not work great – we had to make the video calls without video (and screen sharing).
- Only one place in the whole village area was selling cooked food when we got there. We were hungry after the long drive and we were in a hurry to begin working (so that we finish on time). So, better bring something already cooked for the first lunch
- Best practices:
- Bring cold drinks with you
- Don`t save money on gas, and have enough vehicles, especially if the place is remote from civilization. During our spare time, we traveled a lot
Now the story in pictures, chronologically:
