Co-Working at A New Office

I spent the last 2 years working from my home office. It was an interesting and productive experience but I’m happy I found a new place to spend my work days.

For the last 12 months I was spending at least 1 day every 2 weeks at CoreFactor office in Lisbon. They just let me crash in once in a while and the time I spend there was good. We had some nice brainstorming sessions, discussed potential projects and enjoyed the occasional beer. It felt good to have office colleagues again.

So, last September, I started paying a rent and using the office to do some co-working full time.

Interestingly, last week a news article came out on the Jornal de Negócios talking about this whole co-working thing and mentioning me and a few other interesting co-working projects.

There’s a mention to the beautiful Liberdade 229 project that is well run by the cool Quodis team.

For me, it has been a very enjoying experience. Specially for being surrounded by nice people and very close to a bunch of small cafes and nice restaurants. It all helps to get the most of my day, every day.

    I really like the Liberdade 229 concept. Places where you can learn from other people without the feeling of “being alone” when you start your own project.

    Congrats!

    Excelente ideia, a de experimentares o “co-working” com o pessoal da CoreFactor :-)
    O artigo do JN também dá uma boa panorâmica do espírito da coisa ;-)

    Como tu, também estive dois anos em tele-trabalho (mas não ia para o Magnólia ;-) Era mais “home, sweet home” na Margem Sul - LOL

    O co-working é um conceito bastante interessante e, quando se tem sorte, potencia óptimas sinergias profissionais!

    Para complementar o artigo do JN, uma interessante reportagem recente sobre outra alternativa, a “COWORK Lisboa” na LX Factory , em Alcântara:
