Hey Steemians
Working remotely has become more and more popular. Especially people who are working solely digitally have enjoyed traveling and working at the same time. I have seen many people on steemit who do this - and of course steemit itself plays a huge role in that.
As we are traveling in Malaysia at the moment, we are in a steady need of a fast internet connection and a quiet place to focus. We just arrived in Langkawi - an Malaysian island the size of Singapur. It's a good mix of a touristy and yet local place.
Co-Working Langkawi
We found that quiet place - it's called Jetpack Langkawi. A small but perfect place with fast internet connection. By chance we are the only ones here, so the owner was more like a host to us and invited us to eat traditionally and taught us about Malaysian culture. So if you are in Langkawi - check this place out. They also have a place in Kuala Lumpur.
Jetpack is booth number 8 -9 on the left side
Co-Living Langkawi
But what I actually wanted to share today is a new project they are working on, which is called "District 8". It's the ** first co-living place in all of Malaysia**. How cool is that. They are constructing and building everything on their own with lots of love for detail. One of the founders of Jetpack and District 8 took us there to see how the process is going. Right now it's dry season but you have to imagine all the places blossoming in green or gold.

Construction of a Pool at the Co-Working space
The place should be done in march 2018 . So check it out if you are interested.
Conclusion
I guess projects based on the steem blockchain will make it possible for people to experience traveling to different places in the world and don't make traveling a privilege of a certain group any more. I have read posts of steemians who were able to do their first traveling because of steemit and projects like these co-living spaces make it possible to continue working on a project while diving into another culture and connecting with like minded people.
