Welcome to
WiFi Artists
A co-working cohort focused on building community while traveling the world.
What We Do
WiFi Artists is a community of remote workers, entrepreneurs, and digital nomads who travel the world together. We interview and select like-minded individuals for joining our trips around the world. Our groups travel to a different country each month, working remotely while experiencing new places and cultures. The program cost includes accommodation, transfer to and from airport, coworking station, 24/7 local support, local SIM card, optional weekly activities and of course Program lead who will be travelling with you during the whole stay. You can select a one-month trip or book up to 3 programs consecutively.
Our Philosophy
We believe bucket lists are meant to be lived, not dreamt about.
​
Working a traditional nine-to-five job isn’t for everyone. Countless people spend their entire lives doing jobs they hate in the hopes that they can one day retire and start living the good life they’ve always dreamed of. WiFi Artists is for people who are ready to carve their own path and who don’t want to wait until they’re 65 to start following their dreams.
​
The world is meant to be explored, and there’s no time to waste! Thanks to the growing gig economy, now is a better time than ever to live life on your own terms. You no longer have to be chained to a desk for 40 hours each week to make a living. WiFi Artists provides the framework and community for you to make the most of working remotely.
​
Fostering real, genuine connections among groups of digital nomads is our priority. We care more about creating memorable experiences than posting about them on social media. When you travel with WiFi Artists, you’re sure to have a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experience you won’t find with any other community.
