Kyle PearceDo you dream of getting out of the concrete jungle and moving to a tropical beach or mountain town where you live a more balanced life and work remotely?
Well, don’t just dream, you can actually do it quite easily thanks to the rise of remote work opportunities and a global network of coliving and coworking spaces for digital nomads to work form.
Imagine no more morning commute. The ability to spend more time with your family and friends on the beach or in the mountains. And perhaps most importantly, design a lifestyle with better work-life balance instead of grinding away in the city.
