Economadia - Rural coworking and coliving

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!) __________________________________ Really useful links and material: * Digital Nomad Village Madeira: www.digitalnomads.startupmadeira.eu [http://www.digitalnomads.startupmadeira.eu] * At 04:42 Goncalo speaks about Edo Sadikovic of the rural coworking and coliving project Sende which is located in Galicia, northern Spain.

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) __________________________________ Really useful links and material: * Chateau coliving: www.chateaucoliving.com [http://www.chateaucoliving.com] * At 04:47 Katia talks about the Nine Coliving Project in Tenerife: www.ninecoliving.com [https://www.ninecoliving.com/] * At 26:26 Katia is talking about a cat café which is a concept that first came up in Japan. It’s a café full of cats. * Music: Dan Lizard – Happy feelings

Before you can think about where you want to live and what lifestyle you’d like to pursue you first need – what? – right, a location independent job. Something that gives you money no matter where you wish to be. But what about not having just any random remote job but actually something you care about, you love to do? Natalia Komis from Remote Mission is combining exactly that and is going to share some great insight with us how to get there. In this episode you will learn about... 1. How to find and get a purpose remote job 2. What companies will really look for in the future 3. Why not everything is gold that shines in the digital nomad world If you have the dream to get on this level you should listen to this episode right now! __________________________________ Really useful links and material: * Remote Mission: www.remotemission.com [https://www.remotemission.com/] * Music: Dan Lizard – Happy feelings

Original talk had been held by Jorin Eichhorn at the re:build online event on April 30th 2021 This is the first episode of the Economadia podcast where co-founder Jorin is all by himself sharing his knowledge and views about how both, digital nomads and regenerative villages, could benefit from each other. Jorin is an expert in rural coworking and coliving and has a wide-spread network in this yet very small movement. You will learn in this episode about... 1. what regenerative villages are at a glance 2. the digital nomad lifestyle in general 3. how this is going to be combined and be looked at from both perspectives of how that would work together well The main point is to make clear how location independent people could not only fit but thrive in such a regenerative village. __________________________________ Really useful links and material: * re:build online event from April/May 2021: https://re-build.co/ [https://re-build.co/] * For deep dive information about regenerative villages, please check out: https://designforsustainability.medium.com/sustainability-is-not-enough-we-need-regenerative-cultures-4abb3c78e68b [https://designforsustainability.medium.com/sustainability-is-not-enough-we-need-regenerative-cultures-4abb3c78e68b] and https://www.filmsforaction.org/articles/the-regenerative-design-revolution/ [https://www.filmsforaction.org/articles/the-regenerative-design-revolution/] * For a better visualization of what is being talked about around 05:00, check out: https://leighbaker.com.au/sustainable-restorative-regenerative-whats-in-a-name/ [https://leighbaker.com.au/sustainable-restorative-regenerative-whats-in-a-name/] * When talking about challenges when working remote at 10:00, check “The 2020 State of Remote Work” by Buffer: https://lp.buffer.com/state-of-remote-work-2020 [https://lp.buffer.com/state-of-remote-work-2020], see chart #6 * This topic really interests you?

It's been said that Covid-19 has accelerated a bunch of processes which would have otherwise taken much longer under "normal" circumstances. This is certainly true for remote work and everything that revolves around that topic - such as rural coworking and coliving projects which are to become a serious alternative to living in the (big) city. Miloš and Stefan from Serbia are working on such a rural coworking and coliving project called "Nomadica". They take you on a little journey on how to get started and why they region offers great advantages for their project. Nomadica is representative for many more projects of this nature that will appear on the map in the next years - Economadia keeps you up date, feel free to subscribe to our newsletter! __________________________________ Really useful links from the podcast Link Nomadica: www.nomadicateam.com [https://www.nomadicateam.com/] Link to Pozlan (next bigger city with airport is Niš): goo.gl/maps/fpUNvsRTBjFS3LNb7 [https://goo.gl/maps/fpUNvsRTBjFS3LNb7] Mokrin House: www.mokrinhouse.com [http://www.mokrinhouse.com/] Coconat Berlin: coconat-space.com [https://coconat-space.com/] LinkedIn Miloš: www.linkedin.com/in/milos-rajkovic-92581517a [https://www.linkedin.com/in/milos-rajkovic-92581517a/] LinkedIn Stefan: www.linkedin.com/in/stefan-tasic-3b32a91b4 [https://www.linkedin.com/in/stefan-tasic-3b32a91b4/]
