Coliving and Couchsurfing; Travelling on a Shoestring Budget
Travelling in the modern world is not expensive and can be done by anyone that is willing to meet new people and try their hand at new things. It may not always be easy or comfortable to travel especially when you are doing it on a budget however, there are still ways that you can make the most of your trip. Coliving is a term that many people are accustomed to, especially in places like New York and San Francisco. It is a type of communal living where people from different backgrounds, who don’t know each other, come together to live in one house. They have different rooms however they all share access to the kitchen, toilet, bathroom and other amenities. Most of these places even offer free Wi-Fi and maid service included in the fee. They come fully or partially furnished and dwellers need only bring their clothing. People can stay in these homes as long as they require, and most places don’t even require you to give a notice when you are leaving. That is why it is common with millennials and professionals. Families may even look to communal living if they plan on relocating, to give them a better idea of the place they are considering moving to.
