Co-working vs Coffeeshops

As a remote worker, you've got a lot of choices. Rather than the same commute to the same office or site every day, the world is yours to explore.

Getting Around While On the Road

On more than one occasion, while living in Barcelona, we have looked jealously at one of the brightly coloured red bikes whizzing past.
