Nataniel Orea: I'm a digital nomad, business owner and a hardened idealist. I studied business development and over my 28 years I have been almost everything: a labourer, waiter, personal assistant and, last but not least, an entrepreneur (that last one is my favourite). At the moment, I am working on the Mexican coworking association and planning on growing our NEST coworking spaces, together with my two partners.
NEST is a coworking space located in Playa del Carmen in Mexico. NEST's pillars are coworking and building communities that promote and increase the growth of members' and local community projects, thus generating technological and educational foundations.
Personally, I believe the coworking movement is about accepting direct responsibility for the growth of all members in our coworking space and community. One of our mainstays is helping everyone who is related to NEST develop their natural talents.
Helping our clients, friends and collaborators earn an income from their talents and passions is always the main goal for me. I think the world has reached the point where the most important thing is learning how to make a living from doing what you love.
I think that Playa del Carmen being a tourist destination means that our members have a great opportunity to be exposed to new cultures and ways of life. Being able to see their work areas from a global perspective is undoubtedly beneficial for them.
It's a huge advantage being able to work alongside people of different nationalities and specialist fields, as it encourages local members to take on new ways of working in a collaborative and international environment.
Our members are travellers, digital nomads, business owners, freelancers and local and international entrepreneurs. What makes NEST stand out is the integration between different cultures in a space where collaboration is paramount.
It has been an adventure right from the start. From not having a suitable infrastructure to provide our service to clients (i.e. internet) to not understanding our market well enough. We made everything up ourselves: events, strategies, products, etc., without really knowing coworking's core values and the time our project needed to mature.
It's a complicated process, but at the same time it's very gratifying. I think my country is going through a transition between a state of survival and a state of collaboration. Being pioneers in the market in this area has meant that we have been able to set the real values that coworking is based on.
"Coworking" is still a new word for many people in Mexico and is often confused for being a shared office or a business centre (more times than is funny, actually). In our case, we believe that we're leading the way by sending out a clear message on what coworking represents.
I love the word digital nomad! Personally, I am a fan of the lifestyle and travel regularly.
Thanks to our clients and collaborators at NEST, most of whom are digital nomads, I've had the chance to develop the skills needed to become a digital nomad and manage my working responsibilities remotely.
Honestly, the idea of being able to wake up in Bali, Chiang Mai or Paris is more appealing than spending three hours on the bus or metro every day for the rest of my life.
We dream about taking the movement to the areas where it is most needed. We would love to be a meeting point for less developed areas and more solid, developed economies. We want to create coworkers of the world, as we like to call them.
Fortunately, the trend suggests that coworking is here to stay. Every day more companies are implementing the lifestyle and work method, with more coworking, coliving, and digital nomads. We came to stay and become more.
Guided by industry insights, we navigate the intricate landscape of branding, probing fundamental questions posed by thought leaders like Cat Johnson. Beyond logos and colour schemes, we uncover the essence of brand identity.
As mixed-use developments continue to grow in popularity, merging visitors with locals through a high level of hospitality, and community, in whatever way the space functions, is of prime importance.
Join us in exploring how the coworking movement transcends beyond just providing desks and chairs- it's a catalyst for community and collaboration.
According to Appspace’s 2023 Workplace Experience Trends & Insights Report, 93% of people who work in an office think their organisation could do more to improve the workplace experience. To craft a truly exceptional workplace experience, it’s useful to know what people are actually looking for in an office environment – which, of course, can change over time. So, we decided to do a little digging.
In this follow-up to the recent blog post, Overturning a Man’s World, we continue an exploration of how coworking supports women.
Huckletree, a longstanding customer of Nexudus, has a growing network of shared workspaces across the UK and Ireland. It represents a community of over 4,000 people working across dynamic tech and creative sectors including web3, fintech, AI, govtech, and sustainable innovation.
With so many new and interesting coworking offerings emerging, it’s never been more vital for existing spaces to differentiate themselves and stand out. And one of the best ways to achieve this is by establishing a strong brand presence.
Welcome to, where we dive deep into the brains behind Nexudus. Today, we’re chatting with Nexudus’ CTO and co-founder Adrian, as he shares his journey from selling Internet Cafe technology to being the co-founder of a global coworking company.
We sat down with Stephen Wood, Nexudus’ North America Account Lead and our North American technology partner, Serge Rose, to talk about their recent collaboration in assisting a Canadian client with their migration to Nexudus and to delve into their thoughts on the future of technology in workspaces moving forward!
From beer taps to thermostat settings, we're examining how coworking can be a game-changer for women at work.
