Community
We love the digital nomad's lifestyle.
One adventurous digital nomad stayed in our camp for a couple of months to optimize his work-life balance. During those winters, new friendships were built, and lots of work experience was shared while co-working in the camp. Encouraged by the growing digital nomad community in Lagos, which attracts every winter dozens of free-minded people to co-work and surf, we decided to focus our winter efforts on creating a co-living community at our camp.
We are looking forward to many new friendships and new experiences to be shared here.
