The Coolest Coworking Spaces In The World

Coworking is a trend that is here to stay. Self-employed Americans and the workers they hire account for 30% of the national workforce and that number is growing every month. Coworking combines the best aspects of working from home and a traditional office environment. Gone are the family distractions, chores, and other household interruptions that stop you from being productive while working from home. Coworking spaces have fast wifi, great coffee a work friendly environment and a great community of peers. Business owners and freelancers are flocking to coworking spaces and the number of outstanding coworking spaces is growing every year.

There are even more options you can use while traveling. More than places to get work done, what they really offer are amazing places to be around like-minded peers. If you're the type of traveler that likes to lay by the pool during your vacation and just relax, go for it, you deserve it. But if you're going to check your email and get some work done while you travel you might as well do it in style. Here are the coolest places to work in the world.
