No matter if you are just in a very early idea stage of your project or already open and running, you can use my expertise to brainstorm together, run ideas through me, discuss strategies, advice on difficult decisions as well as accountability and action plans, creating step-by-step plans together and leading your project to success.
WHAT CAN I HELP WITH?
👉 evaluating if running a coliving space is for you, reality check of what it actually entails and how does it fit with your personal aspirations, professional goals and personality.
👉 business and financial models, business canvas and concept
👉 property choice, furnishing, space organisation & maintenance (especially experience with old historic, large-scale, demanding and difficult-to-manage properties)
👉 daily operations & organisation, staffing & training of people (temporary, employed, or volunteers)
👉 marketing & sales strategies, including help getting the first group of colivers for the launch month (which is usually one of the most challenging parts after you just get started)
👉 community building strategies and implementation – everything that looks so easy and fun on the outside, but is actually an art in itself
Depending on what you need this can be – reflecting on if Coliving ownership is a good fit for you, running ideas by me and brainstorming together, asking for practical advice and guidance, or working on a practical document/system or tool together.

And because I know that getting started is often hard financially, I’d be happy to discuss a partial non-monetary offset in exchange for renting your space during its first year of operation.
MORE ABOUT MY BACKGROUND:
A nomad since 2013, I lived in 8 countries for longer than a year and visited 56 in total. Travelling and constantly changing destinations, accommodation types, and communities way before Coliving spaces became a thing, I was craving for something like that without knowing what it was.
During a career break in 2019, I discovered the newly opened Nine Coliving in Tenerife – today one of the most visited coliving spaces in Europe and took a part-time job as a host and marketeer there while dealing with the formalities of slowly closing down my design company.
After a year and a half at Nine, I fell in love with the concept of living within a travel community.
In 2021 Chateau Coliving was born and in less than 2 years became one of the leading destination coliving spaces in Europe, but most importantly a staple in the travel and remote working community, where open-minded people from all backgrounds and walks of life come together to share and create their beautiful journeys.
– studied PR & Strategic Marketing
– 9 years of corporate jobs in Advertising and Branding Agencies throughout Europe in Commercial Director & Client Management roles and 3 years as a Marketing Director of an international event company
– 8 years of running my own branding agency and one of the first fully remote ones in Europe
– 12 years of restoring, maintaining, and trying out different business models in a historic property in France (parallel to jobs above)
– 3 years since running Chateau Coliving & Coworking
Case Study
How do you start a coliving space at a new and unknown for nomads destination?
How do you learn all the processes, expectations, and operations of a coliving space, if you have not yet had the chance to work or live in one?
How do you run it when you have never been part of this community yourself? How do you get integrated in the inner circle of the coliving owners of some of the most successful spaces in Europe? How do you navigate the challenges of the business environment that is specific to your location & culture?
Burgas Coliving, a former communist sanatorium opened in 2022 and in less than a year became a favourite spot for digital nomads and remote workers from around the world, proudly putting its name on the map of the best Coliving spaces in Europe.
