For many travelers—digital nomads or otherwise—renting a room in a coliving space can be a very appealing way to travel. (It certainly is for me!)
Staying in a coliving and coworking space offers a lifestyle where your home is a dynamic hub of creativity, connection, and collaboration, tailored specifically for those who thrive on the thrill of exploration and the freedom to work from anywhere.
Coliving is becoming the ultimate haven for those who crave a nomadic lifestyle without compromising on comfort and community.
What are the pros of coliving for digital nomads?
- As coliving places are fully furnished and outfitted you can literally just show up with a suitcase and slide into a temporary (or long-term) home.
- Paying one reasonable fee that includes room, utilities, internet, kitchen access, central locations…and often lots of other perks like pools, rooftop areas, laundry, and gym access.
- Having a built-in network, whether it’s a small intimate community or a large one of people sharing similar interests.
- Access to coworking spaces that allow remote workers and digital nomads to stay connected—both to other people and to the internet.
- The ability to change locations with more ease and flexibility than traditional housing rentals.
- It removes the guesswork from renting in a foreign country or brand new city.
These days there are many easy and appealing options for co-living, whether you’re looking for a space for a short trip or whether you’re ready to commit six months. (Or more.)
