What is Out of Office about?

I’ve been shaping my life around a simple idea 💡

Hi, I’m Alice 👋

There are lots of new people here, so hello and welcome you all! I’m glad you came across this little pocket of the internet!

I’m the founder of Out of Office and someone who’s been shaping my life around a simple idea:

✨ Our lives should make us feel alive— energized, inspired, and led by what fuels us.

Not drained, burned out or uninspired.

I know that in our fast-paced world, you need to have a certain willingness to take time for yourself and say, "Okay, I'm going to reconsider everything I do on a daily basis and intentionally live differently."

From a very young age (3 months to be precise, see more pics here 😅), I was exposed to new countries, cultures, languages, and ways of living. Which sparked something deep in me—a hunger to seek an environment that brings inspiration, and a pull toward the things that stretch and expand me.

In my career, I chose the road less traveled early on. I left the agency world, became self-employed (and took a couple of leaps into new areas, from brand/social strategy work to now, workplace culture work) and slowly shaped a life that felt more expansive—moving from Vienna, to London, to NYC, and over the past couple of years, working remotely from places like Mexico, Italy, California, Cape Town, and Barcelona, while typically carrying my laptop to every possible coffeeshop for a few hours of deep work before grabbing breakfast or lunch with a friend or new collaborator, or heading to a yoga class / stroll to explore a new neighborhood.

🌿 What I’ve learned?

The moments of awe and possibility we often find in travel aren’t just about where we go—it’s about how we engage with the environment around us.

And it’s something you can intentionally bring into your everyday life, wherever you are.

That belief is what inspired our new Out of Office‘s Field Trips Platform 🌍

Field Trips are mini adventures designed to invite novelty, inspiration, and connection into the everyday—whether it’s spending an afternoon in a museum by yourself to find new inspiration, venturing out to a local coffeeshop to co-work, or explore a new neighborhood with a new friend, it’s these moments that make us feel alive, invite a random conversation into our lives, make us form deeper connections, or spark a new idea.

We’re starting with Barcelona (free during our early access) — one of my favorite cities and home of the creative conference OFFF, our partner for this first launch. We’re soon expanding to other cities—plus launching features to help you bring more intention into your field trips and connect with fellow creatives nearby.

Besides our platform, I also host dedicated spaces for individuals and teams to create more inspiring and energizing ways of living and working.

• From 8-week Virtual Group Coaching Programs to build a more inspiring, energizing, and vibrant way of working and living (which will re-start in September — sign up for the waitlist here)

• To „Creative Reset“ workshops for teams and companies, which is where we’re clearing off your calendar, explore what fuels you and build your toolbox to ground and reconnect with yourself by integrating rituals and practices that add play and spark creativity and inspiration.

Because life happens when you stretch beyond your comfort zone, when you meet someone new, when you see something differently 💛

I hope you get a glimpse of the life I love and experience by living this way with the help of what we do ✨

Thank you for being here and being part of shaping this new path and way of living!

Sending sunny vibes from Tuscany,

Alice
