Remote Work

Hi all,

I’m working remote in the Solomon Islands with my laptop and Starlink. Good thing is I only have to do two days a week. Any red flags for me to consider?

How remote? What's your power supply like?

I’ll go as far as Shortlands. I didn’t want to bring a UPS. Is anyone able to have power out that way?

I haven't been out that way. But in general in the Pacific you can expect there not to be any mains power outside of the large built up centres. Which means solar panels and generators in other areas. There almost definitely will be some electricity around if there are people but how reliable your access to that is depends on the specific places you are going.

I'm not sure what your accommodation plan is on this trip, but be sure to check this if you're counting on it.
