We are launching CoworkSurf Panama on September 1, 2018, and you are going to stay there for FREE.7/27/2018 Free stays for one to two months at a beach front resort in Panama? What's the deal?!
Simple. CoworkSurf is a coliving space for people who travel and work on the road and want to (learn how to) surf. We offer accommodation in beautiful locations with a homey community, solid shared workspaces and grab & go surfboards.
Why can you stay for free at CoworkSurf Panama?
One of the main reasons why people book with us is the friendly community. Now we are partnering up with the lovely Juan and Donna (left picture) from Las Olas resort in Panama to create a sweet coliving paradise there. Check out their beautiful CoworkSurf Panama location with more info here.
Since La Barqueta's wave breaks 100 meters from your balcony, it's a perfect match for a central-american CoworkSurf. 
But, there is one issue: there is no remote worker community yet. We have to build it from scratch. And while we are busy at our other locations, we are giving away free accommodation + free use of surfboards for three to five awesome people to scout the place, help Donna and Juan to make it homey AF and spread the word. You will be the CoworkSurf Panama beta tester. The explorer. The Columbus of remote work. And the right hand of Donna and Juan to turn their over 80 room resort into a pumping Digital Nomad village. Still following? Good.
There are roughly three types of people we are looking for: 1. Videographer / Photographer / Social media legend You know how to do cool stuff and make it look even cooler on our social media accounts and for the website. We specifically need all the photo's on the Panama homepage to be filled with cool people, and blogs & Instagram stories about adventures, surfs, coworking sessions, workshops etcetera to spread ongoing good vibes from Panama towards the rest of the world. 2. Events / Social connector / Leading host legend You are the social hero that welcomes every new guest and make them feel at home, and you also know how to keep order. You feel what the community, the other volunteers and Donna & Juan need and initiate fun activities, help facilitate workshops with the guests, throw an occasional mastermind session, and are helping Donna and Juan to see what needs to be improved to create an even better guest experience. Maybe you will even try to fix a partnership with the local motor rental company or get the local supermarket to deliver orders once a week? Anything. (If all goes well we might have an offer for you for the longer term.) 3. Surf / Activities legend You take the group out for surfs and lessons and are the overall guide of the ocean. Our guests want to know the ins and outs of surfing, from how to read the waves to making their first turns to what clothes to wear if you want to look like a true beach dude / gal. Next to that, you initiate and help organise activities like mangrove canoe tours or beach BBQs. 4. Open application You can be a remote worker who is familiar with coliving spaces and want to be part of the creation of this one, a blogger, a local who knows everything about the area, a still life painter or just a generally awesome person who knows how to get the most out of their day. Let us know why you should come over, we are really open for cool ideas. This all might sound like a lot of work but you will have enough time for your own projects while you're there. Apply with a buddy if you make a great team. Practical info
Worst case scenario: You stay in a resort in Panama for a month for free with a bunch of other awesome beta testers. Best case scenario: You are one of the legends that helped turn this beauty of a place into a thriving Digital Nomad village. Don't want to help out but do want to stay at CoworkSurf Panama? We got you with our honey-sweet launch offers. Crazy launch offers for September and October. For more info about CoworkSurf Panama check the full page here.
OK, now you know everything about your free stay. Still stoked? We have to meet you. Let's make this happen by clicking 'start' in the form below.

Max stayed with us at our Sagres coworking and coliving villa during the summer of 2017 and we decided to quiz him a little bit on his new role and business banking start up for SME's Tide.co
The Canadian shares his thoughts on Sagres, Surfing, Speed Man (aka Jamb0), the local beer and dishes out some career advice as well as letting us know why we should try Tide. "Sagres is sick, really good waves, really good vibes and the beer is very good. It seems to be disappearing quicker than I anticipated." |

Transcript:
So my name is Max Bernier Can you tell us a little bit about your career to date so far? Yeah so I spent most of my career in management consulting focusing mainly on financial institutions so this has been in pension funds and more recently it's been a big focus on fintechs so... financial technology firms How did you get into that in the first place? I got into that because I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with my life as I think a lot of people find themselves at one point or another and I met I met a few people that were doing that work and they just highly recommended it. It was a challenging environment it's an environment where you can learn a lot so that's kind of how I got into it. Can you tell us a little bit about what your new role is? Yeah so I'm working for Tide now. What Tide is, is fundamentally a bank that's out there to help SMEs. It really came about as everyone at Tide has either been on the consumer side of business banking or on the service side of business banking and what we realized is that it's an awful product all in all. We wanted to develop a bank and a platform that would really help business owners focus on their dream I think like you guys here at Coworksurf you have a mission that you want to do. You have an idea in mind and you want to get there, you know taking care of admin and taking care of banking is not on your top priority but there's still things that you need to do, so the idea was really to create a platform that would allow business owners to save time to scale their business as quickly as possible and also for as cheaply as possible. One of the parts of your role as I understand is to grow Tide as a product. How are you planning on doing that? Yeah exactly so we're trying to partner with a lot of different people some of them are accountancy companies others are people like yourself to really get the word out for Tide you know to say that we're a free product we're an easy product. Completely digital and really just try to grow our network it's a sales position to some extent but it's a salesperson sales job for a product that's free so shouldn't be too too hard then. Tell us what you think about Sagres Sagres is sick, really good waves, really good vibes and the beer is very good. it seems to be disappearing quicker than I anticipated. No Sagres is sick the co-working spot here is sick. Really good people and I definitely plan on coming back whenever I have some free time Have you met Speed Man? I have met Speed Man the elusive Speed Man He's quite quick. Did someone say speed man. Hey man Speed Man is out surfboarding. Try Tide.co today and get 50 free transfers with the code COWORKSURF

Tech it's great, right? Yeah here at coworksurf.com we think so too. We're a coworking tech hub based in the surf town of Sagres, Portugal but, there is definitely a right time and a right place for it. Nowhere more so than in surfing.

How being a WordPress developer actually saved this man from a deadly shark attack in Durban
1/18/2017
Dave McMillan is a web developer for Lab19 Digital who grew up in Durban, South Africa an area notorious for shark attacks. Here's the kicker, he was never involved in any kind of shark related incident, in fact the last fatal incident in Durban was 1951.
Chances are he never would have been, but his job as a web developer enabled him to make a great transition to a remote, location independent lifestyle. He's lived in the UK, France and now has his sights on the shark-free surf haven of Portugal. Check out his story and how he balances this lifestyle with two young children.

There's always something going on during the main Season of April to October so be sure to check out some of these epic parties around, Sagres, Lagos and the Algarve in general. Here they are in no particular order....
7. Three Little Birds, followed by Altinho - Sagres
Three little birds in Sagres has got one of the nicest outdoor spaces around, with comfy bean bags and plenty of seating. It was opened in 2016 and has really taken off. I'd recommend coming for the ribs night with slow cooked ribs prepared for 24 hours in advance it's a bit of a taste sensation.
Outisde Three Little Birds, Sagres
He cycled over 2000 miles for his best friend, filmed a Netflix documentary and loves nothing more than taking a good surf pic here in Sagres.
We caught up with the hugely talented Robert Douglas of rdphotography.co to talk about his art and why he loves Sagres so much.

I thought you might want to meet a few people from Sagres before heading over here and so here is Brayan Quintero.
