With the rise of remote work over the past years, many professionals have also taken to working from home. And although remote working has its own benefits, it also has its own downsides, not the least of which is the lack of space and the isolation. A good compromise between working from home and working in a typical office space is the coworking space. The concept of coworking cropped up in the mid-2000s and, since then, has come a long way.

Coworking spaces are perfect for small startups, new businesses, and freelance professionals looking for an affordable workspace that is conducive to collaboration and networking. But with all the new coworking spaces popping up everywhere, it might get complicated figuring out which ones are worth a freelancer’s hard-earned money to work in.

There are a few key factors to consider. First is the logistics of it. Is it in a good location? Are the facilities top-quality and creatively designed? Secondly, just as important as the physical state of the coworking space is its “spirit”. Are the staff good-natured and accommodating? Is there a sense of community? All of it culminates to how productive you can be and how conducive a space is for working.

With those criteria in mind, we’ll discuss today some of the best coworking spaces around the world.
