My first time at a coworking space felt like the first day of school.
I beamed with childlike excitement when I saw the cold brew on tap, an assortment of milks and teas, private phone booths, stylish lounge areas and professionals like me, who worked remotely or were self-employed.
After three years of working from home, I was overjoyed to be back in an office environment. It was encouraging to be surrounded by other professionals again and to feel an unspoken accountability just by working near each other. I had started to miss the little things like: water cooler conversations, unlimited coffee, access to office supplies and the occasional free snacks in the kitchen.

By booking a coworking day pass, I was able to experience the joys of working in an office environment, without the restrictions of a 9-to-5 job. These thoughtfully curated spaces can be inspiring hubs for professionals and creatives to work, engage with others and build community.
Consider one of these coworking spaces around town—or a local coffee shop—to shake up your work routine and upgrade from your home office to the office of your dreams.
