We all love to travel and to see new places and have memorable experiences far from home. Unlike yesteryear, many of us no longer have the desire or need to work in the office and in one geographic location. The good thing for working nomad is that new options are popping up around the world that allow us to work, live and travel. And these are not the dodgy hostels and hangouts of your youth. No longer reserved for backpackers, this “digital nomad” lifestyle is becoming more and more popular mostly among young adults saying goodbye to the traditional office set-up.

The ASEAN Post estimates that there are currently over 39.7 million digital nomads traveling the world, and by 2035, the number could increase to over 1 billion. For this reason, co-working spaces have been cropping up all over the world, giving freelancers, remote professionals, and entrepreneurs a space to work from wherever they want.

But co-working spaces are so much more than your neighborhood coffee shop. Lately, these establishments are making a name for themselves for their cultural amenities and thoughtfully designed interiors. Whether you’re a fully-fledged nomad or just a tourist, consider visiting these eight stunning co-working spaces around the globe.

Benk + Bo | London, UK

While London is known for its busy city life, you can find a slice of tranquility at Benk + Bo. Everything from the hanging gardens to the orange lighting is designed to calm the mind, giving its patrons every reason to relax and focus on their work. True to its advocacy for mindfulness and mental wellness, the place even has a yoga studio. Fostering a community is often the goal of co-working spaces, but Benk + Bo takes it to the next level.

Zoku  |  Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Amsterdam has some of Europe’s finest hotels, one of which is Zoku, which also happens to be a local shelter for urban nomads and traveling professionals. Besides the communal working spaces on several of its floors, every loft feels like a co-working space too, as Zoku’s rooms are centered around wooden tables designed to fit four people. In fact, these tiny yet creatively designed lofts feel more like private offices than actual bedrooms.
