Has anyone else noticed how co-living spaces are becoming the new hub for digital nomads? I’ve been hopping between a few in Europe and Asia, and it’s fascinating how these spaces foster community differently than traditional hostels or Airbnbs. What are your experiences?

Absolutely! I stayed at a co-living space in Bali last year, and it was a game-changer. The built-in networking with like-minded individuals helped me land a freelance gig that sustained my travels for months.

I’m currently at Sun and Surf House in Lisbon, and it’s the first time I’ve truly felt part of a community while on the road. We have weekly skill-sharing sessions and communal dinners that really make you feel at home.

I love the idea of co-living but worry about privacy. How do these spaces manage the balance between community and personal space? Any insights?
GeographyGeek
That’s a valid concern! In most places I’ve stayed, like Outsite in Costa Rica, they offer private rooms with shared common areas. It’s a good mix of privacy and socializing.

From my experience in Chiang Mai, the key is in the design of the space. Private nooks and thoughtful layouts make it easier to retreat when needed while still feeling connected when you’re in the mood.

What are the typical costs associated with co-living? Are they competitive with other forms of accommodation for digital nomads?
BudgetBackpacker
In my experience, they range from $500-$1500 USD per month, depending on the location and amenities. While pricier than a hostel, the cost often includes utilities, community events, and sometimes even coworking space access.
CultureCurator
One advantage I found is that co-living spaces often organize cultural events and activities. This adds value beyond just a place to sleep, especially in new cities where local culture can feel elusive.

Does anyone have recommendations for co-living spaces in Latin America? I’m planning to head there next.
NomadNook
You should check out Selina! They have locations all over Latin America and offer a pretty vibrant community vibe.

There’s also a place called Co.LAB in Medellin. It’s smaller but very community-focused with a lot of tech and creative professionals.

I just left The Collective in London, and while it’s not Latin America, it was an incredible experience. They are expanding, so maybe they’ll open up there soon!

I love how co-living spaces emphasize sustainability. Many I’ve visited have recycling programs, use solar power, and promote local arts. It feels good to be part of a conscientious community.
EcoExplorer
That’s so crucial! Finding places that align with my values has made the nomadic lifestyle more fulfilling. Has anyone else found eco-conscious co-living spaces worth recommending?
