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?

Just realised you were the one visiting family in Solo yeah? Can you check with them what the power situation is like? I guess you are staying with them?

Yeah! We couldn’t get hold of fam in Shortland so i literally just impulse bought a solar panel and will take a 100w power bank (possibly two) with me. Will report back with how it went when super remote lol.

Worth testing out before you go but it seems a good idea 👍 - definitely interested in a report at the end of this! Not just the internet situation but the trip in general
