Coliving brings a certain comfort to your life, freeing you from many material and administrative constraints. It also offers numerous advantages to boost your professional career. Here are just a few of them:
Coliving spaces are often located in attractive neighbourhoods
In Brussels, Paris and other major cities, it’s hard to find decent accommodation at a reasonable price in a central area. Coliving overcomes this difficulty by offering the possibility of living in a business district, near a railway station, or right in the city center. This proximity to the workplace considerably reduces the need to commute, saving money, time and fatigue. It’s much easier to use soft modes of transport like walking or cycling, which improves health. Less time in transit means less stress and more time available for work!
Coliving helps you develop your professional network
Coliving is all about meeting new people. People sharing a residence quickly get to know each other and often see strong bonds develop between them. Everyone introduces their own friends, my friends’ friends become my friends, and the network quickly expands. There are many different coliving residences, but some work on the basis of affinity. There are coliving spaces dedicated to developers, graphic designers, artists… This kind of residence will have an even greater impact on your professional network, as most of the people you meet will work in the same field as you. Helping each other out, advice, recommendations and helping hands are all very frequent and very natural.
The services offered by coliving free up time for your professional activity
Dry cleaning, housekeeping, shopping, concierge services – these are just some of the services often offered by coliving residences that will save you precious time. Because starting up a business, developing a project or carrying out a mission is often time-consuming, it’s best not to let yourself be overwhelmed by occupations that don’t benefit you. You’ll also gain hours for your leisure activities, for example, by taking advantage of yoga or body-building classes in the residence itself. More time for yourself and more time for your career – what more could you ask for?
Coliving gives you flexibility
If your job requires you to move from one city to another to keep up with appointments, assignments or projects, coliving is the ideal solution for you. There’s no need to spend weeks finding an apartment, a deposit, furnishing yourself, taking out insurance, electricity, water and internet subscriptions, then having to cancel everything and start again as soon as you move to another city. What’s more, minimum commitment periods are often small (1 week, 1 month, sometimes even a few days). Coliving simplifies your life and takes the hassle out of finding accommodation for all your travels. No need to hesitate before accepting an assignment in London, Brussels or Tokyo!
Coliving is therefore an undeniable asset not only for your personal life, but also for your professional life.
