totally.
I dream of living in a wooden house by the beach, with DD playing on the beach after school, DH working from home, same job, me working from home PT. Is it possible? Obviously my work and his are totally doable remotely!
Doesn't have to be Caribbean just somewhere relaxed and warm. I miss the sea since we moved inland.
Talk me out of this dream please! Its probably lockdown fever...

OP you should consider Antigua - 2 year digital nomad visa on offer and highly encouraging ex pats to work remotely there. Low crime rates

I worked in Bermuda for 10 years from the mid 90s. There was certainly a lot of racism, but as long as you realise you're a guest worker, it was ok. Negatives were the cost of everything (but it's tax free income so essentially a consumer tax), cockroaches, humidity. Oh and I had six weeks' maternity leave (extended to two months with holiday). I made some fantastic lifelong friends though, and have been back since then. I came back when DD was six, as the schooling options are not great - most of my expat friends have sent their children to the UK to board from age 13.
