Remote Work and Mental Well-Being on a Boat
If fishing isn’t your thing, a day on the water can be a unique remote work experience, as Matthew Ketchum from Akiya & Inaka discovered.
“I travel all over the place and work from spots I never imagined when I was corporate: farms, lakeside, at campsites, etc. I will say, though, that working from a speed boat that clocks in at like 120kph is, so far, my favorite. Looking forward to one-upping myself in the hopefully near future.” — Matthew Ketchum
There’s something about being on a boat — on a lake.
The calm sound of the water and the freshness of the air is different than that of being out at seat on a boat.
As the tourism industry looks to recover in Japan, looking inward to lakes could provide unique possibilities of reshaping the ‘Japan experience’ for visitors as well as revitalizing rural communities in a sustainable manner.
