Co-Living Changed My Life - Sun & Co, Javea

I spend the last month living in Spain in the Sun and Co coliving space and my time there really made me think about the future of work and travel. This video is a somewhat casual but personal review of my experience in Javea all around digital nomads, remote work, coworking and community.

"They have a very natural way of making you part of the community" is perhaps the thing i resonate with the most (and there's a lot I resonate with). It is immediate. I was nervous about going in and introducing myself to people, but it was so welcoming and I felt like an equal immediately! You were part of that. This is the video I'm going to share with friends and family who don't understand about a lifestyle of a balance of work and travel, and who want to know more. Such is the quality of your storytelling (so articulate in a foreign language) because, yes, you show the glitz and glamour but also say that everyone WORKS for real, and that the term digital nomad has taken on a less genuine connotation I think. Let's take a second to acknowledge your filming and editing too. The shot where you're working and then turn to look through the window: one shot from inside then one shot from outside edited into one movement. Respect! All the very best to you Wojtek and I hope Kat's doing well at her new job!

[@JustWojtek]

Well, first: that's to much praise for me to handle 🙈 and second (which should have actually been first): thanks so much, Alex. I really appreciate it and I feel a bit sad, to not have had more time to hang out and get to know you better - but who knows, we might meet elsewhere or actually in the very same place again :)

[@hommequiet]

Same feeling here.

[@kingagawronska5852]

Wojtek! I couldn't find better words to express how I felt with all of you in Sun&Co and how I still feel, a few days after coming back to Warsaw. Actually not really back - because now I have the feeling, that I rather belong there than here... I had no idea it was possible to build a home with strangers so quickly and become a family almost overnight. You and Kat are amazing and I hope we will have a chance to meet - with you and the rest of those incredible Colivers :)

[@JustWojtek]

You are taking the words out of my mouth - literally, what I've said to Kat after we left. And likewise, I hope we meet again somewhere sometime :)

[@remylasset244]

So I guess you'll come back, really back, here, soon. Please do :)

[@kingagawronska5852]

@@remylasset244 Of course I will! :)

[@katrinapeacock8317]

Romantic Corn Man!! 😂 What a captivating reflection of your co-living experience. It made me so emotional to watch this. I’m sorry there wasn’t a longer overlap in our stays at Sun and Co. I only caught a glimpse of your generous and fun spirit, but I enjoyed it much.

[@JustWojtek]

I feel the same, especially since you are on such an exciting point and path on in your life. And let's not speak about emotional, I've become a bit of a crybaby since leaving 😄

[@FrenchinPlainSight]

Too true. So much corn... Haha. And yea, wish we had more time to get to know you and Kat more. Says a lot about you that you left a mark even with people who were with you for only a few days.

[@aeropipica]

wow, just wow. Thank you for this amazing video 🙏💚

[@JustWojtek]

thank you for the amazing time! 🙌

[@Kara-so2em]

Wow, makes me so emotional to watch this - so happy and sad at the same time. It soaked me in if I was there again for a moment. Thanks Wojtek!

[@JustWojtek]

to recite Rémy, what you feel is probably what the Portuguese refer to as "saudade" and I'm feeling it, too :)

[@jonhormaetxe9996]

This touched my heart and made me cry. This video came just at the moment when I was very stressed organising our first-ever Sun and Co. pop-up in Basque Country. When you're stressed you lose perspective, and this video reminded me, at that moment of stress the meaning of what I do. I love the video Wojtek!

[@hommequiet]

Jon, it's a well deserved love letter. Miss you guys.

[@TSLondon]

Wojtek!!! This is such a beautiful love letter to Sun and Co and to all of us who were there during your stay. How perfectly you’ve articulated what we all feel in Javea, in the house and by being around each other having those vulnerable and mind-expanding chats. I’m so deeply happy and privileged to have met both of you. Bis bald.

[@JustWojtek]

how does one even answer to so many kind words? 😳🙈 I'm really glad we met, Treasa! Some of our conversations still echo in my mind and keep on making me think and reflect on so many important things

[@MrAO96]

Again such a nice video. Makes me want to experience it for myself. It seems like the alternative to what you and I love about traveling too. Meeting people, exploring the surroundings and having endless conversations about topics that probably would never have crossed our minds otherwise. And that combined while working. I also like the fact about Sun and Co that you share your skills and let other people learn from your knowledge. Keep up the good work with your videos, they are truly inspiring! Alex

[@JustWojtek]

thanks, Alex! I definitely recommend it and I can imagine very well you'd enjoy it!

[@rutaconsciente]

Wow!! Amazing video!!! It's so good that you could live the experience with all of your senses and you didn't document everything. You were busy living your live ❤️

[@JustWojtek]

Thank you Eli! Means a lot hearing that 🙌

[@ariholtzer]

Wojtek, you left before I got here (at Sun&Co) now. This made me tear up and I really relate to everything you said. Thanks for sharing these good vibes!

[@JustWojtek]

It is crazy to me, how much and how many people (can) relate to this after joining Sun and Co. keep the good vibes going 🤙

[@ariholtzer]

@@JustWojtek you chose my fav emoji!

[@remylasset244]

I couldn't express better what I've been personally thinking and feeling about every single coliving experience here at Sun and Co. What many of the colivers here think and feel, actually. And I was again talking about "saudade" with Kinga or her last day here... Thanks A LOT Wojtek for this gift!

[@JustWojtek]

It's real! Maybe we should recommend renaming the coliving to "Saudade&Co" - although, not sure how exactly that would affect marketing 😅 - apart from that: the pleasure was all mine :)

[@kingagawronska5852]

Saudade is my favourite word now and also an amazing feeling - I haven't missed anything that strongly for a very long time and this feeling makes me feel so alive! :)

[@JustWojtek]

@@kingagawronska5852 I second and absolutely share this perspective

[@remylasset244]

@@kingagawronska5852 I feel so happy to read this :)

[@rachelren8822]

all the feels!!

all of 'em 😌

[@bartekmalinowy]

Wow, I really relate to the community part... I am pretty happy with how my life looks like at the moment, I'm not gonna lie. But it seems that for a long time now I've been searching for people, who'll inspire me as much as those you've mentioned in your video inspire you! Wonderful piece, Wojtek. As usual, amazing video!

[@JustWojtek]

If you ever get the chance, try it out. It's time well spend :)

Fantastic video Wojtek. Shot great with solid info and education. Thank you!

Your videos are always well made and excellent, Great work! Please more videos! I think you have excellent skills and talent and as I’ve said before you deserve more views.

thank you so much, man! And I am sure the views are underway - probably supply chain issues 🤔😁

good work (video/editing/vibe/info) thanks

[@JustWojtek]

glad you like it 🙌

[@monicacruz4407]

Love it romantic corn man, you make so many lovely observations. I especially resonate with the idea that if you are too busy filming, you sometimes do not fully inhabit the experience itself. Btw, I really feel I made a ‘faux pas’ yesterday with my lazy comment, so thanks for reacting like you did, it made me think, and I realise it was judgemental and uncalled for, that’s my social awkwardness right there 😣 I’m so glad you’ve had and are sharing this sun&co experience, I’m sure it will inspire others, subscribed 😉👌👏🙏

[@JustWojtek]

thank you, monica and absolutely no worries! apart from being a romantic corn man I'm also a faux pas machine (fully automated) and many of the things that have been said made me think as well :)

[@CreativeTies_]

5:12 🤣 I might just have to try co-living now. Thank you romantic corn man

[@JustWojtek]

your welcome! :D ...and maybe I should change my channel name 🤔

[@CreativeTies_]

@@JustWojtek hahah maybe that's what you need to do now

[@LarsWagner]

such a good video Wojtek ! loved it, love the idea to work abroad and travel at the same time. kinda livin that dream at the moment, but you also want to build something up maybe, like an own "studio" an own space.. i cant answer that now, but im lil afraid of the time when i getting back to germany

[@JustWojtek]

I can definitely relate to that. And there is no need to be afraid of coming back. Embrace it in time, try making your peace with it and open up, for what's about to come. Living in Cologne for the past years has never really felt like coming back for us, but just like another stop on our way - until we depart again. I am sure you guys will figure it out :)

[@joelstephenson8017]

I'd love to go to one of these places! I'm trying to get into videography and video editing, so I might do so😊

[@JustWojtek]

I think, this would be an amazing experience for you! And as I've discovered there are also many, many other options for remote work, even some unexpected :)

The video quality of this footage was unreal specifically the outside shots ! what camera did you use to film these parts ?

[@JustWojtek]

thanks! I'm using a Panasonic GH5 with Viltrox Speed Booster and (99% of the time) the Sigma Art 18-35mm f.18
