Remote working has been a norm for many years.

Set your expectations for your ideal coworking space
First thing’s first, before you start searching, take a moment to imagine your ideal coworking setup looks like:
- Quiet zones for maximum productivity or spaces for socialising?
- High-speed Wi-Fi for calls or creative and quiet corners for deep focus?
- Flexible 24/7 access or just day passes?
- Snacks & coffee or solely a desk
Tip: Always have a checklist of your essentials like natural light, open space or call booths to stay focused and work on your own terms.

Coworking spaces are not just desks, yes we all know that by now… To find the best coworking spaces with strong community vibes you can always read verified reviews from remote workers who have been there. Still, there are a few signs of workspaces with thriving communities:
- Social events, meetups or workshops.
- Community managers, to welcome you and connect you with others.
- Member chat groups, Slack, Facebook or WhatsApp to stay connected.
It matters, because coworking is more than a productivity hack, it’s a social lifeline for nomads working far from home or who forgot what home is.
Explore the right neighbourhood for your WFA style.
The location of the coworking space is important for sure, but when searching, consider:
- Is it near great cafes, lunch spots or gyms?
- Access to coworking, by foot, public transport or bike?
- How is the area at night for late finishes or early morning starts?

Before choosing your destination, check platforms like Perch or Nomad List to gather feedback on both coworking spaces and cities. Make sure you do research before booking your ticket.
Here are some points to check:
- Connectivity: How reliable is the Wi-Fi? E-sim, local sim cards with data packages, which one is the most applicable option?
- Environment: Is it productive or distracting? Learn more about activities that may keep you away from the screen or develop a working routine to make sure you enjoy exploring the city and its offerings.
- Find your tribe: Explore community via Facebook chats, expat or nomad groups to get ideas about the average crowd like (startups, creatives or remote teams).
Better to bear in mind, ‘’too noisy’’ might be your ideal workspace background hum.
Day Pass: Test your workspace before committing
Test days and tours are very common in coworking spaces, regardless where they are located. Use them to evaluate before committing to a long term membership.
- The ambiance and layout: Do you have enough room? Maybe for a second screen or privacy while working on a closed project.
- Community vibe: Are members chatting with each other or is everyone acting like they’re in a cubicle?
- Coffee and snacks: (Yes, that matters) coworking snacks and coffee go well together for the ones who are super focused and work in time sensitive projects.
On Perch, you can filter workspaces offering flexible passes so you’re never locked in to workspaces that don’t fit you.
