Coworking Spaces in Oslo
Oslo is not the greatest place for a digital nomad - especially not in the winter. Location-independent professionals are, in general, known for their frugal ways (after all, they need the money to travel), and many of them have long lists of budget-friendly travel tips on their blogs. Well, in Oslo, the cost of living is pretty high (over $4000 a month, according to Nomadlist) and the winters are freezing. In all other areas, Oslo is a great place for some location-independent work because of its peaceful nature, fast internet, and a huge variety of places to work from. Today, let's take a look at some of them - coworking spaces where digital nomads can rent a desk, use a printer, and maybe even hold a meeting if needed.
