With the remote revolution, coworking spaces are popping up everywhere. They serve remote workers looking for a reliable, comfortable place to get work done and meet like-minded people.
A coworking space is a share workspace environment where people from different industries work alongside each other. Your membership duration is very flexible and it’s a hot-desk setup with cool events.
Who Works At Coworking Spaces?
Remote entrepreneurs, freelancers, remote workers, digital nomads and small businesses enjoy using a coworking space. It’s perfect for people looking to work hard, network with people doing cool things and socialize.
4 Key Features of Coworking
What to look for when choosing a coworking space? It comes down to these 4 key features:
- Community Events: Weekly organized activities and workshops to learn new skills and make friends.
- Flexible Membership: Join for a day, a week, a month or more! Most spaces have flexible terms.
- Good Amenities: Ergonomic chairs, wide desks, high-speed internet (of course) and meeting rooms are essential.
- Location, location, location: Conveniently located close to public transportation and the city center.
These are signs of a good coworking space. Not all have active community, so make sure to take a tour first!
Some people enjoy working from cafes. Others enjoy a coworking space, here’s why:
- Meet interesting people. Weekly activities like masterclasses or sunset drinks make it easy to meet people.
- Productivity boost. Decent workspace with nice facilities and collaborative opportunities boost growth.
- Cost efficient. Most amenities and events are included in the one price.
We love coworking! We’ve done our most productive work and met some great friends through coworking spaces.
How To Find A Coworking Space?
There’s usually 2 types of coworking spaces: a corporate startup type or a relaxed, humble type. We prefer the latter. Coworking space are everywhere but here’s where to start searching for them:
- Google Maps: Simply search “Coworking” wherever you are and look at the reviews of each space.
- Social Media: Instagram is a great resource to find new coworking spaces and get a real feel for what they’re like.
- Two Tickets Anywhere Blog: We constantly test and book coworking spaces, here’s some we love Bwork Bali (Indonesia 🇮🇩), Punspace (Thailand🇹🇭) and The BASE (Portugal🇵🇹).
Make sure to check reviews, read blogs (like ours) and ask fellow digital nomads about coworking spaces to see if it’s right for you!
