6 Co-Working Spaces In Cebu Freelancers Must Know About

Freelancing, or working from home, has become a craze these past years and the growth of the freelancing community has grown rapidly since then, particularly in the Philippines.

Doing online jobs is a great way to earn money while you stay at home. If you are a mother who can’t let go of her child just yet, then applying for a job that would allow you to work while tending to your kid is a must! If you are a father who needs more financial stability, then freelancing is your chance.

If you are one of those who have gotten sick and tired of dealing with office politics and socializing, then working from home is definitely for you, too! There are so many perks in getting jobs from the internet while you sit on your favorite couch all day. However, if you get used to the routine of getting up from the bed then straight to the computer, no change of scenery, no new friends, then eventually you will grow tired and burnt out as well.

This is why of co-working spaces in Cebu are growing in number. Co-working spaces are those offices that are for rent by individuals who need their daily dose of unlimited coffee, quiet and work-conducive spot, fast internet connection and cold air conditioning.

While many of us would rather stay at home forever, going out from time to time will encourage productivity and happiness! Isn’t that what we all want?

If you are in Cebu, check out these freelancing hubs that you have to know about!

Start-up companies are beginning to emerge and since they are still very new, their budget for office spaces is very limited. ASPACE Cebu won’t stop you from building your ideas and turning them into reality. In fact, they encourage teams to come and collaborate, discuss and perfect their designs by building work spaces that are ideal for creativity and productivity.

Once you come in, you will immediately notice the raw, almost bare design. It looks unfinished but I guess that’s how it works! The place has a very chill vibe. You can sit on the floor or use their standard table and chair.

Avant Offices is one of those places where you feel like you are a big boss. Here, you can pretend to be one! The design is very stylish and modern, and the space is just right. I like the big windows because natural lighting boosts our energy which makes us happier and more productive. I also love their carpet and the small details that make up their very fine office space.

The rates are a little high compared to the other co-working spaces and are probably not beginner friendly. One day pass is worth 700 pesos! But if you decide to use their Co-Working Open which is 4,000 pesos per month, you will certainly get your money’s worth.

The space, however, is small and feels so much like a coffee shop rather than a shared co-working space, but that shouldn’t bother anyone who only wants to have ambiance that’s conducive for working.

I love that they put a napping station in a place where brain cells are always in need of recharging. Many times, we run out of ideas not because we need more coffee but because our mind and body need to rest! If you are a hard worker who can’t seem to take a break from work, then Workplace Cafe will be your new home.
