As remote work continues to gain popularity, coliving has emerged as a popular choice among digital nomads. By definition coliving is a way of living where travelers choose to stay together in houses or apartments. Often digital nomads are traveling alone and therefore fostering a sense of community right where you live can be highly stimulating.
Finding the right coliving environment can provide you with a wealth of opportunities for learning, networking and building relationships with people from around the world. Coliving goes beyond combining living and working spaces, it has the ability to spark ideas, solve problems and generate intellectual conversation.
