In your experience, what are the most difficult things about working remotely?

Staying focused can definitely be tough for me when overseas. I often want to go and explore, or end up partying too late. When that happens I obviously don't get much work done.

The other thing for me would be a lack of community in some places. I love places like Chiang Mai because there's a lot of other nomads around to talk to! In some places I've been there are simply no other remote workers, and that can get a little lonely after a while.
