If you’re a New York City millennial who likes the idea of a weeklong working vacation—with gorgeous island vistas and cultural immersion half a world away—Hawaii would like your attention.

Titled “Work from Hawaii,” it plays on “WFH,” the popular acronym for people working from home, to pitch possible candidates in fields like business, design and technology on a better kind of telecommuting.
