For work I alternate between two locations.
Typically I am in the north for six months out of the year and then I go down south for the rest of the year.
It is necessary to keep both branches going. Sometimes during a holiday or a busy time of the year, I have to make a quick trip to another location. It would be expensive keeping two houses afloat and maintaining them. I also don’t want to pay rent in two locations unless I need to. Thanking my business provides corporate housing. I can get a six month block of short term, fully furnished housing no problem. Then when I go down south, I find another corporate apartment to rent out. I always find a location that is fully furnished and right near my place of work. I really don’t need much. I don’t bother asking for a corporate suite in a hotel or an actual house. A fully furnished apartment should do the trick. I really need a working bathroom, decently sized kitchen and a bed. If I need to watch TV, I will pop open my laptop. I don’t even need a backyard. I can go for a run in town or do yoga right in my bedroom. I am a simple creature to please. My workplace always has a nice location for me though. I usually end up with more luxuries and space than I require. Better to have too much than too little though right? Corporate housing has been nothing but great for me.
