Which impact do remote working people have actually?

People who can work location independently, among them digital nomads, are no longer a nichy niche of a few crazy people out there. Officials and governments start to take this movement seriously. Good for them as there are amazing potentials out there.

Goncalo Hall from Portugal is seeing those potentials, too, and came up with a project no smaller than a digital nomad village. Yes, read again if you can’t quite believe it.

The very first time of this project took part on the Madeira of Portugal.

Listen to a story of an unprecedented enterprise.

In this episode you will learn about...

1. Which challenges and details Goncalo and his team had to consider when merging a local environment with the digital nomads world

2. Which were the key features that made this whole project a success

3. Where the next nomad village is going to happen (whoop whoop!)

Coliving deluxe next level? Voilà, Katia has it for you!

But wait! Until the first digital nomads had walked through the gates of this place there were a few hurdles to take for Katia and her partner.

It might be more than counterintuitive, especially when pursuing a location independent lifestyle, to commit yourself with maybe the biggest thing you’ve ever did in life.

Put your romanticism aside for the next 30 minutes and hear what it really means to have such a mammoth project only even starting.

In this episode you will learn about...

1. How Katia transitioned into a nomadic lifestyle in a time when the term “digital nomad” did not even exist yet

2. What it takes in the core to start your own coworking and coliving project

3. Why you can’t simply transform your guesthouse into a coworking and coliving project (spoiler alert: you’re not covered with a somewhat faster internet connection than before)

4. How you can buy your own castle tomorrow! (Okay no, that’s a lie)
