Traveling through Europe can be a great experience—but it can also be expensive. If you’re a digital nomad and exploring the world while you work, there can be some great deals to be found in coworking and coliving spaces! Not only can combining working and living spaces help you budget easier, but you’ll also be immersed in a wonderful community of entrepreneurs, freelancers, and remote employees from all over the globe.
Coworking and coliving are becoming incredibly popular worldwide—you can be innovative and productive with your projects, and enjoy the culture and beauty of another country. Recently, we’ve shared our recommendations for coworking and coliving spaces in Latin America and in Southeast Asia—and here are a few of our top picks for coworking spaces in Europe!

Coworking and Coliving in Lesvos, Greece
Living and working on a lush Greek island is a dream for many of us. Lesvos is the third-largest Greek island, and one of the country’s lesser-known islands. Uncluttered by hordes of tourists and tacky tourist traps, enjoy hiking through petrified forests, natural hot springs and health spas. The coworking and coliving space here is a wonderful digital nomad community based on Birds Bay with gorgeous accommodation and all of the best aspects of island life.

While overemployment may sound difficult and potentially hazardous if caught, the fact is any remote worker can do it successfully with the right approach and commitment.
