#1 city in the world to travel and work remotely
is Kansas City, MO.



Quote:
The No. 1 city in the world to travel and work remotely is in the US—and it isn’t New York or LA

Published Fri, Jun 24 20229:00 AM EDTUpdated Fri, Jun 24 20229:15 PM EDT

Americans don’t need a passport to get to the No. 1 global city to take a working vacation.

Kansas City, Missouri, was named the best city in the world to work during the day and explore after hours without having to use too much of your PTO time, according to a recent analysis from Icelandair.

Kansas City — known for its barbecue, jazz scene and for having more fountains than Rome — is home to attractions including The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kauffman Stadium, Worlds of Fun and a bustling downtown. It comes out on top of 115 global cities in the ranking, which were chosen because of their prominence in the tourist industry and availability of “slow” travel options.

Tourist attractions aside, the Icelandair ranking considers metrics that paint a picture of each city’s quality of life (like cost of living, safety, health-care access), how easy it is to work there (internet speed, average working hours, commute time), environmental factors (climate index, noise and light pollution, air quality) and data from the United Nations’ World Happiness Report.

Here are the top 10 best global cities to take a working vacation, according to Icelandair.
  1. Kansas City, United States
  2. Vienna, Austria
  3. Wellington, New Zealand
  4. Copenhagen, Denmark
  5. Edinburgh, United Kingdom
  6. Victoria, Canada
  7. Perth, Australia
  8. Frankfurt, Germany
  9. Brisbane, Australia
  10. Helsinki, Finland
Travelers may be surprised to find typical big cities like New York or Los Angeles don’t top the list. That’s because these metros “aren’t always best when you’re looking to take a step away from the busy hustle of a usual working day,” says Gisli S. Brynjolfsson, director or global marketing at Icelandair.

“Slow travel” is a growing trend that “emphasizes connections, whether that be with the local people, businesses, culture, food, and to leave places in a condition future travelers can explore, too,” he tells CNBC Make It.

Slow travel is especially attractive to people planning working vacations, who are more likely to travel alone and spend longer periods of time at their destination. “It’s about being mindful, not burning yourself out and taking your time to get to know the places around you,” Brynjolfsson says.

While remote work makes it easier than ever to take a working vacation, a lot of people are coming back from these “breaks” more burned out than when they left. Some 61% of Americans who took a working vacation in the last year didn’t consider them to be “true” vacations, according to Expedia’s latest Vacation Deprivation study of 14,500 working adults across 16 countries. What’s more, 72% of people who worked through their vacation reported feeling more burned out than ever.

The Icelandair report recommends travelers find balance by connecting with nature, staying active and practicing mindfulness while on vacation. For days you’re working, take mini-breaks from devices and find an accountability buddy who can help you prioritize your rest, whether they’re a remote colleague or a travel partner.

Finally, even though these cities have the infrastructure for remote work, make sure some of your trip is spent logged off — delete email, practice proactive recovery and immerse yourself in your new destination.

Yeah I call BS. They are putting up 10-30 story condo’s on every block to house all the gen-z that will work remotely down here. Why are they moving? No state tax and the weather, beaches.

I was paying 6% sales tax in Missouri. Now, zero. They are moving from NY or Cali, those tax savings go up considerably.

Missouri is 38th in tax burden, Florida is 45

Whatever slight amount you’re paying on taxes, is easily offset by the higher cost of living. Not that you don’t get weather benefits, just that economically there’s no free lunch

Another reason Im really worried about the suburban housing market in about 10 years. Im not sure who will fill tbese homes. We finally had our first population decline as a country last year. And genz does not value living in the suburbs or having a family quite like millenials and gen x. They are also having less children so a single family home is not as saught after.

Sounds like a solution to homelessness might present itself. Imagine insane, drug-addicted dirtballs occupying the suburbs where soccer moms and khaki pants were once the norm.

There's no way KC is 1st. That would put Iowa in the top 10 easily since we have basically the same weather with a similar tax burden and lower COL.

There's a reason states in the upper midwest routinely rank as some of the most depressed in the nation.

Don't think I'd agree there.

Property taxes are insane up there compared to here and this area really hasn't had much of a winter.
