After a study abroad year in Ireland during which she went to visit the Swiss Alps when she was 13, Paulina knew she would have to share this feeling with the ones she loved the most. So not long after she met Diego, she told him that they would go. One day. One Day... years passed, Diego and Paulina launched their Marketing Agency and coworking space in Mexico City , where they are from and traveling, the thing that brought them together, went down the top priority list.

When we caught up with Elspeth, a few weeks after her stay at Swiss Escape, she is calling in from Sun&Co , another coliving & coworking space in Spain. Change of plans This wasn't the plan at first but " we're going to do way more of this" she says right away. When her and her partner Ari left home in Canada for six months, they had only booked their Swiss Escape stay, wanting to try something new.

We caught up with Jaz, our Community Manager at Greek Escape in January-February 2022. She is now back in Barcelona, her "home base" and reflects on her experience. As 2022 started she knew she wanted a change of scenery and that Greece would be her next destination.

We have our own suggestions of cou

The term Coliving has been buzzing around for a while now. And you will probably get as many definitions as there are types of coliving: the big operators, the long stay, the boutique and the rural spaces, the ones that cater to digital nomads and everything else in between. We have started our own spaces and lived in several ones so we like to think we have a pretty good understanding of what works and what doesn't, what matters and what is just for show.

Last week we zoomed in with Jessica who stayed at Greek Escape for a week on our opening month. Jessica has lived with other people before in a more classical "shared flat" setting but the experience was quite challenging as she was working from home and not really feeling it was the perfect set up for best productivity and wellbeing living with people with completely different lifestyles.
