WFH but no WFH! THIS Meta employee hires cruise ship for Rs 2.4 crore for travelling the world while working

New Delhi: Work from home (WFH) is no longer a novel concept. In recent days in the UK, another choice was also available i.e work from a bar (WFP). But this story may add some novelty to these work trends. An employee of Meta has rented a condo on a deluxe cruise ship so he may work remotely while travelling the globe. An employee of Meta's Reality Labs named Austin Wells signed a 12-year lease for a residence aboard the massive cruise liner MV Narrative, which has over 500 private rooms and apartments.

Wells said he was eager to go to new places while keeping up a schedule during a video conversation with CNBC earlier this month. The fact that I don't have to change my everyday routine in order to travel the world is what most fascinates me, he remarked.

There are 11 different types of houses on the cruise ship, with the most opulent, the "Global," being 1,970 square feet and including four bedrooms, a dining space, two baths, and a balcony.

Wells will receive a 237 square foot space with a folding bed, pantry, and shower in the more basic "Discover" apartment. While the ship travels across the world, he intends to settle there for at least three years. The co-working facility, gym, spa, emergency services, and 24-hour room service are all included in his contract.
