If the daily grind of the 9–5 is wearing you down, it might be time for a change of scenery. Luckily, you don’t have to be a digital nomad to work from a surf house in Portugal or a chalet in the Swiss Alps.

Traditional employees can get a respite from the office without sacrificing productivity by booking a trip to a co-living space.

Co-living is a housing model where two or more people share a common living space but usually have private bedrooms. Like an Airbnb, properties are turn-key with furniture, linens, cutlery, and utilities included. You can stay nightly, weekly, or monthly versus signing an annual lease. As an added benefit, co-living spaces feature fully-equipped offices with high-speed Internet and unlimited coffee or tea. So, you can work where you live, at least for a little while.

Co-living is a great way to meet new people, unearth new ideas, and expand your worldview. Besides, studies show that remote workers are happier and more productive.

So, take your pick of the exotic destinations on this list and prepare to pitch your boss on the mutual benefits of a “workcation.”
