Coworking spaces might be a quick fix for those who need a quiet place to get work done. I prefer studying English at home because I feel distracted easily in a public place like coffee shops.

There are some places for young and new entrepreneurs here that is called Technology parks!

Everyone with a new business idea has an isolated space like that hot desk with all amenities like wifi and printer and many other perks!

People can run their own business in technology parks and work there for one year and its free for them!

But it seems this coworking spaces prepare daily afforable places to work!

It is a great idea!

Id like to study at home in my room!

As far as I know there ain´t coworking spaces in my country, only cybers cafe. Get in, find an isolated place ,ask for a coffee, not without also asking for the password and log in .I study English at home.Other than the phone could be ringing, It is quiet inside and the perk is the coffee maker in the kitchen,always inviting me to have a break and sip a cup of coffee .
