What’s Up With Outsite? My Honest Review [2025]

With remote work becoming more and more available, people have increasing flexibility to decide which location they do their work from.

At forward-thinking companies that means you could be living it up on the beaches of Bali while getting all your work done back in colder climates. That sounds like the life to me! 🔥

While there are some that opt to create more meaningful experiences through volunteering and giving back while traveling, there are also those that focuses on working remotely while exploring the world.

Some companies focus on creating a complete workaway experience for remote workers so that they don't need to worry much about the details.

In turn, other companies focus more on co-living and co-working spaces. To clarify, if you're one of those people who like to immerse yourself in the community while still controlling most of your itinerary and travel choices, then co-living and co-working spaces are for you.

On my search for companies like this, I stumbled upon Outsite. They have a gripping digital presence, so I needed to know more! I've done the research so you don't need to...

What Is Outsite?

Outsite describes itself as a “global network of co-living spaces”.

Outsite allows remote workers to co-live with other remote workers while providing them with amenities necessary to successfully work. It's been described as combining the best of a hotel, hostel, and rental all in one living arrangement.

All of itslocations are worker-friendly, but will also allow you to meet and engage with fellow digital nomads. Each Outsite location also comes with a Community Manager who acts as a local host during your stay.

Not a remote worker? No worries! Outsite co-living spaces are open to all, and you can use them as a hub while you travel—so long as you respect those working around you.

You won’t get the full experience out of staying there if you aren’t a remote worker, but there are no rules against you staying at an Outsite location if you’re not there to work. 

Outsite has 24 co-living spaces spread out over 3 continents, covering urban, coastal, and alpine locations.
