Get inspired for a month in Siargao? 🇵🇭

We know, it’s hard to resist

Curious about coliving? How about coliving in the deep tropics for a month with 15–20 like-minded people?

Kaya Connections is offering an organized coliving experience in Siargao, Philippines from March 30–April 29.

Siargao is a quintessential tropical island with unspoiled beaches, clear aquamarine waters, rock climbing and caves, excellent surfing, and great vibes.

Your coliving experience includes private accommodations with A/C, private bath, 24/7 access to a coworking space, 3 curated weekend excursions, engaging meetups, and a community manager who’s local to the area.

You also get access to a swimming pool and you’re less than 2 minutes from the beach. C’mon, it’s not that bad 😜.

Prices start from €1,199, which seems pretty reasonable (just sublet your place back home for a month to help cover the costs).

🇪🇸 Speaking of visas: Spain’s got a digital nomad one

Let’s get real…it’s sultry, it’s seductive, it’s Spain. This has got to be one of the hottest digital nomad visas around.

Who can get one?

What are the requirements?

Earn at least 2x monthly Spanish national minimum wage (about €25,700/yr.), employment with a foreign company, health insurance, college degree or 3 years work experience, and the standard paperwork.

How long can you stay?

1 year, and it can be renewed for up to 5 years.
