Shared coliving spaces have become a natural extension of the explosive coworking movement, reinventing the way people live and interact around the world. Thousands of young professionals are opting to join intentional communities of like-minded people, for long-term residencies and short-term travel.

These coliving spaces attract all kinds of people – young professionals, entrepreneurs, startup teams, digital nomads, freelancers, and change-makers. While residents seek an autonomous lifestyle, they value the growth that comes from immersing themselves in a stimulating community.

While planning my travels with community in mind as a destination, here were a few beautiful coliving spaces that spoke to me:
