It is an honor and my pleasure to be here! I’ll be taking over the COWORKSURF blog and Facebook feed for the next few weeks. I’ll be sharing with you all of my tips, recommendations, recipes and adventures. A quick bit about myself….  I’m a traveling yoga instructor, humanitarian and surfer. I’m currently working on an online project that will take me to locations around the globe to teach mindful movement to children from impoverished communities.  I arrived to COWORKSURF a week ago and have been feeling amazingly productive. I’m not only getting work done but I’m catching party waves with dreamy sunset backdrops. The house is stunning, fully functional, and really clean.  (Here's my bed with a priceless view of the rice paddies) I honestly could not be more pleased with my stay. So make sure to follow along as I hustle, create, cook and most of all SHRED! SURF’S UP DUDES!  Ah, Bali.

How being a WordPress developer actually saved this man from a deadly shark attack in Durban1/18/2017 
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.
We think the Algarve has got some amazing people and nights out to offer our guests here at Coworksurf. We're a coworking and coliving space in Sagres for people who can work online from wherever they are in the world (digital nomads)
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.
