The Rise of 'Bleisure' Travel: How Digital Nomads Are Redefining Business and Leisure

What is Bleisure Travel?

Forget the old 9-to-5 grind. Welcome to the era of "bleisure"—a mashup of business and leisure that’s turning business trips into mini-vacations. Imagine closing a deal over Zoom with a backdrop of the Eiffel Tower or finalizing a report while lounging on a Bali beach. This isn’t a dream; it’s the reality for digital nomads who are reinventing the way we think about work and travel.

Where Did Bleisure Come From?

While the term might sound new, bleisure has been around since the early 2000s. But in a post-pandemic world, with remote work becoming the norm, it’s exploded. Companies like Spotify and Twitter have embraced remote-first policies, giving workers the freedom to blend work and wanderlust.

Kristin, who shares her journey on her website Traveling with Kristin and her YouTube channel, has built a lifestyle around blending work with exploration. She’s known for turning ordinary workdays into extraordinary adventures, from managing her business while soaking up the sun on Mexico's beaches to taking client calls from the comfort of a mountain lodge in Colorado. Her motto? "Work is what you do, not where you go."
