These days, we are preparing for, what is now becoming an annual, detour to Lisbon – can you guess the reason? Well, of course, it’s that time of the year – Running Remote is once again coming to Lisbon, and My Coliving Space: Spain (T&T) is joining as a media partner.  After another year working in the coliving sector, we have witnessed many changes in 2023-2024 on the remote-work front ourselves. This is the first time in our history that we are experiencing the possibilities of such a wide variety of professionals being able to be location-independent. With such a shift in how we l ..read more

Back in 2021, when we started planning our Coliving Spain Project, many colivings we later visited and many that we love today did not exist yet, and many others were just slowly emerging. But some colivings were already long-standing even before we stepped our toes in these waters, paving the path for many others to come and building the values upon which the industry is standing today. Two years and nine colivings later – The 10th Coliving Spain project partner was one of those colivings; one of the oldest colivings in Spain – Sun and Co. While colivings are still just becoming, Sun and Co ..read more

Another day, another interview! This time, we bring you something a bit different from our regular interviews with coliving operators. We had the opportunity to sit down and talk with Lavinia, the founder of The Offsite, who has hosted 13 coliving pop-ups since 2020. We discussed how it all began, the key elements, the participants, and why Fuerteventura is one of her favorite pop-up destinations. Enjoy reading!

Navigating the ever-evolving coliving landscape is integral to any transformative journey. In the short history of coliving, few places have played as pivotal a role as Sun and Co., standing as a cornerstone in the industry’s narrative.

Now, we’re excited to introduce you to the fresh faces (and some familiar ones) stepping into these renowned shoes, marking a new chapter for Sun and Co. Join us in this exclusive interview as we unveil the dynamic ..read more

The end of June 2023 is right around the corner and with that, we are finishing our third Coliving Spain Project Initiative.  As you might know, for this initiative, we decided to take it slow and visit only two coliving spaces that were just starting their coliving journey. Still, we chose two completely different colivings to show you different sides of this movement – and we think we chose them perfectly.  After Madrid and a month of balancing between the metropolitan and suburban life, taking in the best of both worlds, we flew right into the center of digital nomads in Canaria ..read more

Coliving can serve many purposes beyond just accommodating digital nomads and remote workers. Often, coliving spaces tackle some big societal issues and many try to provide solutions that inspire their resolutions. In that light, today we’re bringing you the interview with Jonatan, the owner, and operator of EcoIsleta Coliving, the first coliving with the goal of becoming Zero Waste and helping its residents and its local neighborhood embrace an environmentally friendly lifestyle. EcoIsleta is a relatively new space, one of the few ones in Las Palmas, and located in one of the most convenient ..read more

In April 2023, Travel & Tapas embarked on another Coliving Spain Project initiative. After 7 colivings visited in 2022, we wanted to continue with our efforts in showcasing coliving spaces around Spain, especially those that are at the beginning of their journeys. So, in that light, the first coliving for this third project initiative, and the first one in 2023, is a newly-opened, small community coliving located right in the heart of Spain – in Madrid. When we first heard about Coliving Madrid, it was from a coliver we had previously met in another coliving space during the project initia ..read more
