Coliving

Coliving is a form of homesharing in which individuals live together with other likeminded people, particularly for workers on temporary assignment away from home.[1][2][3]

The growth in popularity of co-living has led to the first international co-living housing network called ROAM [4] ROAM is a global co-living subscription that allows members to sign one lease then live in any of its properties around the globe. Community living (or "co-living") is often the ideal housing situation for travelers because it allows them to meet new people and become connected with interesting and likeminded individuals as soon as they arrive in a new city. It also allows for increased freedom and flexibility by providing weekly or monthly leases, reliable internet, co-working space, and global meeting points to create new friendships and business contacts while traveling from location to location. ROAM's flagship location in Ubud, Bali opened in March 2016 with further openings planned throughout 2016 in Miami (May), Madrid (June), London, and Buenos Aires.[5]
