Hey!

A good way to approach this question is to balance personality with professionalism. You want to show that you have interests outside of work, but also that you value an environment where you can still stay productive. 

For example, you might say your ideal workation would be somewhere with a mix of calm surroundings and strong connectivity, like a coastal city or a quiet mountain town. This signals that you enjoy balance and know how to manage your time effectively.

You could also highlight how such a setting would help you recharge while still allowing you to focus on work. For instance, being in a new environment could give you fresh perspectives and creativity, while the quieter pace would allow for deep focus. By framing your answer this way, you show that you can adapt to different situations, remain productive, and value a healthy balance of work and personal growth.

I’ve actually done a few workations already and also talked about it a lot with friends. What worked best for me was combining a workation with a short holiday afterward. That way, you already know the area and don’t need time to settle in once the real vacation starts.

For the setup, a proper desk and chair are a must. Somewhere you can really sit and work for 8 hours without discomfort. And of course: reliable Wi-Fi is non-negotiable!

For me, the ideal workation spot would balance reliable Wi-Fi, a calm vibe, and some inspiration outside the screen. Spots like Lisbon, Bali or Lake Como come to mind.

At the end of the day, anywhere with good focus hours + a reason to close the laptop at 6 is a win.

Hey!

You can answer this question by emphasizing how your ideal workation balances productivity with an environment that inspires focus and creativity. For example, you might describe a setting that allows you to work efficiently—such as a quiet, well-equipped location—while also offering opportunities for relaxation or cultural experiences that recharge your energy. Framing it this way shows self-awareness, an understanding of how you work best, and the ability to maintain performance and well-being, which are qualities employers value in high-pressure roles.

I’d pick a place that balances focus and relaxation—somewhere with good internet and a calm environment, like a beach town or a quiet mountain spot. It’d let me recharge but still stay productive.

In a personal fit interview, this shows I value work-life balance and understand how to create the right environment to perform well. It also signals that I’m thoughtful about managing stress and maintaining motivation.
