The problem

Remote teams drift apart

Without shared experiences and time in the same room, engagement fades, alignment slips, and culture thins out. The answer is not dragging everyone back to an office. It is creating a few moments together that actually matter.

What we handle

Everything, so you handle nothing

From flights and visas to workspace and wellness, we orchestrate every detail of your team workation.

16 blunt questions about how your team actually works. You get a score out of 100, the workation setup matched to your situation, and the gaps worth closing first.

Built by the team behind Hubstead. Takes about 5 minutes.

Who's behind it

Meet the founders

Patrick Bluekens

Co-Founder

Hi, I'm Patrick Bluekens - partner, and proud dad of two daughters - living on the edge of the forest in beautiful Bergen, North Holland. I began my career as a recruiter and headhunter more than 25 years ago, and I still love the work today. During a meeting in Bulgaria, I met Mihail Stavrev. We discovered shared interests and spent hours brainstorming a new proposition. Drawing on Mihail's experience working across multiple locations worldwide - and the recurring challenges he'd seen first-hand - we spotted an opportunity to do things better. That insight became Hubstead.

Co-Founder

Hi, I'm Mihail Stavrev - recruiter, traveler, and travel enthusiast - currently based in Koh Samui, Thailand, but rarely standing still. Over the past decade, I've worked with international teams and helped hundreds of professionals find their next role across borders. Along the way, I saw a recurring pattern: people craved not just remote freedom, but meaningful environments to live and work better. Ironically, I met Patrick when I was back in my home country. What began as a simple conversation turned into hours of brainstorming around how work, lifestyle, and culture could blend seamlessly. From those talks, Hubstead was born - a way to make "working abroad" not just possible, but effortless and enriching for everyone involved.
