Anyone been to some nice spots for surfing that have fast internet and coworking offices in SEA?
Hello! In Costa Rica Santa Teresa you have waves all year round. Check out my cowork space in Santa Teresa. I cam here as a digital nomad for surfing and stayed 5 years. And now i own a coworking space with 100MB of Highpspeedinternet and with Coliving tooโฆclose by the beachโฆmaybe see you here!? Google for โcowork swindaโ and youโll find it. Called coworkercostaricaโฆ
Have you considered Canada? The west coast is nice and the waves are consistent especially between September and March. I run a digital nomad accommodation in Ucluelet, BC near Tofino. It is a friendly community that is getting a new brewery and is all on fiber for internet. 200 mps download speed. We have signal boosters and each room has a desk and printer. I know a bunch about surfing in the area so give me a shout! Google Habitat Ucluelet. I speak french, spanish and am learning german so would love to meet some surfing nomads from those parts of the world!
I also know a good place in northern Nicaragua, I have found that Costa Rica is quite expensive if you want to stretch your dollar. I am curious if any has worked remote in Sri Lanka?

Hey. I would recommend Lima, Peru. There is great internet, you can find a shared room for 200-500/Month and a small apartment for 600-1000/Month. There is lots of surf and most of it is uncrowded. Summer time is beautiful and more crowded. Winter is gray, but not too cold and the waves are uncrowded. I have lived here for 1.5 years and I love it.
Come to Montreal

Seriously during the summer you can surf on the river (Sorry for the bad music)
Itโs a continuous and stationary wave on the river so itโs pretty cool.
We have also a lot of coworking space near the river or you can work at the library for free !
North Sydney, up near Bilgola & Palm Beach. Canโt go wrong in this area (other than it being extremely expensive). Beautiful beaches, wonderful people and easy to work from anywhere (for example, Avalon has wi-fi available literally everwhere).
Iโve been in Bali, on the east side in an area called Sanur. Coworking at Kumpul and renting a room in a villa for $500usd for a month. There are lots of surfing spots a quick motorbike ride away.
I was living in Cรกdiz, Spain 2 years and itโs a great place for surfers. I also recommend to see Essaouira, Morocco, it have more surf activities than Cรกdiz.
The Internet is better in Cรกdiz than Essaouira.
Coworking in Taghazout: I found this http://www.sun-desk.com/ but it seems not so cheap to be in Morocco, for me as a Moroccan 30โฌ per day is expensive enough. There are alternatives, for example, to rent a Riad outside of the city in Essaouira or Agadir.
Good luck!
Sayulita, Mexico is really taking off. Great surf all around the area and thanks to some newcomers who set up a dedicated fiber line that they are beaming across town via wifi from their office roof, itโs becoming an ideal spot for remote working. Their office is currently booked up, but weโre working on opening a shared space shortly.
Do you have anymore information on the office spaces in Sayulita? 
Hi Conni! Our website is sayulitacowork.com and you can contact us directly at [email protected]
Awesome, thanks a lot! Will make it over to Sayulita in a few months and will defo get in touch
Lisbon for sureโฆ You have a lot of good coworking places, the best waves in europe and maybe one of the best in the world (check Peniche, Ericeira, Nazarรฉ, Carcavelos, Costa da Caparicaโฆ etc). You are in a european capital but you can live very well with 1000USD. Rent a home for 350 easilly and have awesome internet and life quallity.
If you really love to surf, this is the place to be.
Iโm in the Philippines now and havenโt found a coworking + surfing spot hereโฆ It seems the surfing spots are far from any major cities and the internet is pretty shit here in general.
Iโm thinking to try Bali next, so this time I decided to do some research before hand and made this map of surfing and coworking spots. From what I read the east coast is where the surfing is at during the wet season (now).
Feel free to edit or add to this map
It looks like Sanur is the place to go with 3 nearby coworking spaces:
http://thesanurspace.com/home/
http://kumpul.co/
A handful of places to live on airbnb
Thereโs also the Fuerteventura Hub, which has a coliving space as well. Iโm heading there next week and to the Surf Office after that so should be able to provide more details soon
The Canary Islands are very recommendable! Warm weather and waves all year around. As far as I know there are two good coworking spaces:
Tenerife: http://www.seointhesun.com/co-working-tenerife
Gran Canaria: http://www.thesurfoffice.com/gran-canaria
Kind regards
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica , the internet is 10mb (not super reliable but I manage to work well all the time) . you can surf 365 days a year and never gets over 8 feet, always perfect open waves.
The waves in Santa Teresa are indeed great; I was there a bit more than a year ago. However, I donโt think there are any coworking places there and I donโt remember any nice cafes from where one could work.
Canggu, in Bali, has a few good breaks (always crowded, but friendly locals) and I think thereโs a coworking space there now too
http://www.dojobali.org is in Canggu, lovely place to work and 100m from the surf which is fun but pretty crowded.
There are also a growing โdigital nomadโ scene in surf town in the Mediterranean area in Morocco, Tarifa, Canary Islands etc, with cool coworking spaces
Iโm interested in Santa Teresa - whatโs the average monthly expenditure? Is it a pricey place to be (iโve heard Costa Rica is compared to other SA destinations)
@Riichard It depends, you can get an ok house with internet for $500 by yourself or you could get a shared house for $200 a month.
I recommend to buy a SIM card with 3g (3MB) in case the electricity runs off and the cost is $20 p/month for unlimited data.
Then food you could spend up to $800
With $1500 per month you can live a really good life here and surf every day , 365 days a year literally.
Itโs always hot and the place is amazing, I spend about $1200 per month with clean lady, laundry and eating the best food possible but I own a house here so donโt pay rent.
There arenโt many nice cafes to work from, mostly because they are open in nature so is not that comfortable and is hot its the only problemโฆI work from home always and like it anyways
Great info, thank you!
How do you get around the area? If I plan to stay for a few months, would it make sense to get a car or something?
Iโm in Bali now and itโs so easy here as everyone has a scooter with surfboard racksโฆ
Getting around Sayulita is very easy as itโs not a big town and there is surf right out front. To explore other surf spots around the area though, youโd need a car.
I spent a month working in Santa Teresa in September. Thatโs low season (and rain season). I paid 270 euro through airbnb for a room just 200m from the main surf spot. The internet was actually very good, but there were occasional power outages and the internet tended to die when there was heavy rain. Also the waves were often quite choppy during that time. Iโm a beginner surfer so it really wasnโt ideal for me during that time. Food at the restaurants and supermarkets was definitely higher than in other CA countries that I went to, but probably also because itโs a tourist spot with only small supermarkets.
Da Nang isnโt terrible, for Vietnam:) internet is fast and cheap when the cable isnโt cut, the waves can be choppy but generally uncrowded, and thereโs at least one co-working place (though I havenโt used it.)

I am new to working out of coworking spaces. My business entails a lot of video conferences. I haven't chosen a specific coworking space yet but generally, what are the potential solutions for this? I have a microphone and headphones but still fell like it may be inconsiderate to take the calls anywhere in the coworking space. For a solo person, what are some general solutions? Are there usually options to rent a private room by the hour with just enough room to set up my microphone and laptop? Sidenote: any coworking space recommendations in Florianapolis, Brazil would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
We're looking for a country in South East Asia that can function as our base, mainly for tax purposes. Meaning it will have to be a place where we can stay for the 183 days required without too much hassle.
We've been looking at Thailand, but have heard that it's very hard to do visa runs etc., so what other can you recommend? Indonesia looked like a good option, but the income rate is a flat 20% and very high for the region.
What are the most comfortable and affordable coworking places in Amsterdam?
I donโt like noisy cafes and high prices of Spaces.
Everything is in the title.
Iโm working on a big project so I will need fast internet (>15 mbps).
If itโs close to the beach, it would be even better.
Thanks !!
Would you recommend โWork Zoneโ http://www.oficinasplaya.com over Nest?
Do you have other coworking spaces there you would recommend?
And where is a good place to stay (i.e. coliving)?
Heyo folks! The idea to open up an own coworking space in Malaysia has been on my mind for quite a while and I would like to reach out on foreigners being a business owner/co working space owner in Malaysia, there are a lot of questions that would follow up but most importantly is to reach out to someone with experience.
Ideally would be someone who runs a coworking space in Malaysia, second best would be to just come in touch with a foreign business owner in Malaysia.
Cheers

Any recommendations for a coworking spot in Merida, MX? Iโll be staying in the Centro zone for most of July. Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know of any decent coworking spaces in Goa (India) ?
Looks like a very fun place to live for a few months. I havenโt been there myself yet but keep hearing very good things about it.
Hi there,
Iโm considering a month or two in Medellin and wondered what the co-working space options are like. I want something more than a cafe, so happy to pay the going rate. I spent a couple of months at Hubud in Bali earlier this year and loved it, but realise that Iโve set the bar pretty high.
Has anyone used Epicenter? I read somewhere it is pretty busy. Any other options?
Suggestions much appreciated.
Iโm looking for a good coworking space in Osaka.
There are a few listed on coworker.com & workfrom.co, however, none of them has reviews.
Iโm looking for a good coworking space in Kyoto.
There are a few listed on coworker.com & workfrom.co, however, none of them has reviews. Itโd be great to have tips from people who actually went to some of these coworking spaces.
Hey
Iโm looking to run free introductory coding workshops in London.
Would any of you lovely people have any recommendations?
My requirements are:
Thanks!

Does anyone know of any coworking space open 24hs somewhere around the world? Sometimes because of my line of work I need to be awake when everyone is sleeping on the country I am in (but I know I am not the only one!). It would be amazing to share that time at a coworking space with others who like to work at night or who have to be awake. Does anyone know of any coworking space open 24hs somewhere in the world?
I recently purchased a second monitor to connect to my MacBook Pro 15". I use the Nextstand laptop stand to get my MacBook to eye level. Iโm wondering what second monitor (without base) users are using to get their second monitor at the same level. I know of this company Elevate Stand (.com), but it seems a bit heavy and bulky (although I guess it must be somewhat, if it is to hold a monitor).
Would it be advisable or wacky to lug an external monitor from the US in hopes of avoiding coworking costs by working from Airbnb with decent wifi? Iโm not sold on coworking spaces, and like the solitude of coding away in my own little airbnb space. One screen is limiting to productivity, hence the love of an external monitor. Thoughts?
Hey there nomads !
Weโll be in Auckland from january the 11th till the 14th and we wonder where are the best place nomads go to work (and have a beer).
Thanks !
Hi Guys! Iโm planing to kick start my Nomad Life style in July, and Iโm researching cities in Europe that can provide three things:
All other characteristics (Weather, english speaking), are not as important as the ones above.
=D
Hi,
Do nomads like to travel together? I mean, not in each otherโs pockets, but look for accomodation together, meet with each other daily or regularly, help out in new cities, motivate/inspire each other in the business? Iโve done nomad lifestyle in the past in 2009/2014 and this time I want to collaborate and support with other people, each on their own mission. I love this nomad endeavour but to be honest I admit it can be quite time-consuming and lonely. 
*Message on NomadList locations?
*Message on Couchsurfing groups? (without sounding like Tinder!)
*Message on other??
Iโm currently in Portugal and heading back to Estonia for January/February (Iโm from Australia). Later in 2017 I am open to places, though Iโm not keen on high pollution, high humidity, high cost cities.
Feedback, interest or ideas welcome!
Thanks, 
Madeline
