Reasons why digital nomads return to coliving spaces like iSlow

1

In recent years, co-living spaces have become increasingly popular among digital nomads, remote workers, and wanderer families. These spaces offer a unique blend of community, convenience, and comfort that traditional living arrangements often lack. At iSlow we are aware of this and that is why we have created a home designed so that returning residents choose iSlow every time they decide to come back to Costa da Morte. To make them feel at home in this corner of the world.

And life is being very grateful to us: many of our residents actually choose to return. But why do they keep coming back?  In this post we will tell you everything that makes our dear colivers decide to come back to iSlow, including their own testimonials.

Key Reasons for Recurring Co-living Experiences

Community and Networking

Sense of Community

Returning residents often mention the strong sense of community at iSlow. This feeling is explained by the number of community activities and shared spaces, which foster deep connections in a supportive and friendly environment.

Inés Silva, our co-founder, recalls a thought from the moment iSlow opened its doors: “I remember, when we opened iSlow someone said, “your business will be successful when you get people coming back’. And I said to myself, ‘that would be great but, why would a digital nomad repeat here or anywhere? The world is so big, so many places to see…’ How wrong I was”.

Networking Opportunities

Co-living spaces like iSlow attract professionals from different fields, providing an evolving and transformative network of contacts. Returning residents value the opportunity to continue building these connections, which often lead to collaborations and business contacts. And not only that, but they also help build lasting friendships on a personal level.

In the words of Julio Rodríguez, our co-founder: “Success does not only mean reaching financial goals, but also your emotional goals. We promote a lifestyle that allows us to connect not just on a personal level but also professionally with an international community”.

Supported Community Events

iSlow’s schedule of events, with professional workshops, cultural nights, and other social gatherings; ensures there’s always something new to experience. These events foster personal and professional development, making returning residents appreciate the ongoing opportunities to grow and connect.

Testimonials from Returning Residents: Why They Choose iSlow

I am a surfer and digital nomad who has been traveling up and down the European coast for many years now, but Galicia is one of the places that keeps calling me back the most. Only last year I discovered the region A Costa da Morte thanks to the beautiful Coliving iSlow, which I am lucky enough to call my home now. I came here initially because of the surf but it is the nature, the people, the traditions, the food and the humble life that I value the most. Especially during the busy summer months it is a great place for me to find a balance between work, surfing and life in general”.

"I love the idea and the atmosphere at iSlow. The community and being with people from around the world is amazing. I have very fond memories here".

"We are happy to be back in this amazing place we call home and with the family we choose. We plan to come back every summer so Jonas can grow in this friendly atmosphere and make new Galician friends".
