A woman in need of a change of scenery took a week-long trip to Spain without using any annual leave - and now she's encouraging others to do the same.
Amy Irvine, 27, spent a week soaking up the sun in Marbella, Spain in April this year, without having to take a single day of her annual leave allowance. As head of digital at a PR company, Amy's workplace has a policy allowing all employees to work from anywhere in the world.
This enabled Amy and colleague Olivia Smith, 27, to jet off to Spain. The two of them spent their days working from the balcony of their apartment just a stone's throw from the beach, while lunch breaks were filled with a quick dip in the pool before they headed out for some drinks in the evening.
