Coworkation, in other words, coworking vacations is a rising forms of travel that can undoubtedly beat traditional tourism for a certain groups of people. These are digital nomad and remote workers that live and travel on their own terms, by working anywhere from their laptops, having either multiple home-bases or no base at all, and new means of settling down by becoming financially free and location independent. Nowadays, with work and personal life having blurry lines in between, there seems to be even no line at all especially for startup entrepreneurs and freelancers. We work with multiple time zones and cultures, some of what don’t separate work and life as clearly as Europeans. You will find below coworkation experiences that I have personally experienced or been referred to by digital nomads worldwide.

Its founder, Johannes Voelkner, has founded the group Web Work Travel, one of the very first communities of experienced digital nomads around the world early back in the day when the concept was first emerging just as a trend, which now has become a lifestyle well-known around the world.
