Living at Vivarium: Benefits of Co-Living Spaces

Are you a solo traveler who’s weighing your housing options? Or maybe you’re a couple, looking to join a community of peers? You might be surprised by some of the different benefits of stepping out of your comfort zone and trying out co-living. Let’s dive into some of the perks.

Emotional Benefits: Building Community, Quickly

Loneliness can be a real challenge, especially for solo travellers. However, co-living spaces are designed to combat potential isolation. While communities can vary, many co-living spaces have shared living and common areas – such as living rooms & kitchens – and frequently host community events. You’re likely also surrounded by like-minded individuals who share your values or goals. 

Whether it’s game nights, shared meals, or casual conversations in the kitchen, these spaces naturally foster genuine human connections.

Professional Perks: Networking at Your Doorstep

Co-living spaces are often packed with ambitious, creative, and entrepreneurial individuals. You’ll be networking while making friends along the way. Your next big idea—or business partner—might be just a conversation away. And it’s right in your living room. 

Pro-tip: Vivarium has a dedicated space for productive work sessions, meetings, and collaboration. Plus, speedy WiFi!

Overall Lifestyle Boost: Convenience Meets Flexibility

Co-living combines the flexibility of hotels and hostels, with the emotional benefit of being a part of a pre-existing community. Many co-living spaces have flexible lease terms, so you can choose to continue your adventures elsewhere, at your leisure. 

(But we don’t think you’ll want to leave Vivarium too quickly.)

The Bigger Picture

Being a part of a co-living space isn’t just about splitting rent or sharing a kitchen—it’s about enhancing your life on a multitude of levels. It’s where personal growth meets professional opportunity and where community replaces isolation. If you’re seeking a dynamic, supportive, and enriching lifestyle, co-living might just be the ultimate life hack.
