Perfect for travelers who work remotely.
Coliving is a trend that has been emerging lately in recent years. As the tools we use to make our lives better have evolved, so has our way of living and interacting with each other.
It’s interesting how co-living has become more like an inspiring culture right now around the world, where people with common interests have come together to share a space where they don’t only live, but work together.
Coliving spaces are becoming very popular in cities around the world.
Choosing to live with others in one state while working for another state doesn’t only mean “remote work”.
It means living on your own terms.
We are living in a day and age where working in-office is already old fashioned while living alone is flat-out expensive and boring.
Life and work now are interchangeable within one another.
This means that you have the chance to be with people at a place where you share rent, but also common interests that take all of you further in your careers.
What Is Coliving?
Coliving, as you might have already guessed, is a communal way of living where people with common values and interests join to share a living space together.
These people can be writers, video editors, musicians, economists, or whatever skills match with each other to share an interest.

Now, dive right into some coliving spaces around the world and see what they have to offer.
Co-living Spaces Around The World
A co-living space can be very flexible in so many beautiful ways. And what’s great about them is that you can only stay there for a few weeks and then change city.
However, if you happen to find a coliving space where you do fit right in and feel like you’re “home” you can start to choose that as a long term solution.
Now, here are some co-living spaces around the world that we think you will love:

Coconat
Let’s back away a little bit in Central Europe and land in Germany’s countryside where Coconat, offers a co-living space not too far from Berlin. Now that I’m thinking about it Coconat should’ve been in Australia whereas Base should’ve been in Germany because their names don’t suit with the countries.
Anyway, Coconat offers facilities that are amazing for people that like outdoor activities like hiking, swimming, fishing and camping. Here it can be only you and nature.

Sun and Co
Let’s close this list with a trip to Spain where a very popular coliving destination is Sun and Co. They are the very first coliving space in the Mediterranean area. Here you will for sure get the classic joy of living at a 19th century home in Jávea where you can calmly work and live for only €22 / night.
Final Thoughts
Coliving is a great option for people who are a bit social, have online skills to provide for themselves and have a traveler’s spirit.
