After a year of travelling (that is the life of the consultant) I am back home with the dreaded notion of having to find a place to call "my office" - home is not an option as the capacity for distractions is so high that it makes it a bad option for me - you have to know yourself and how you function best.
After visiting some colleagues in Boston, I decided to try a co-working space in Miami in a place called Buro. After a few days the experience has been a very positive one. I can work with minimal distractions and it feels the same as an office (with the added benefit that the boss or client are not there). In this case the decor is very nice and the view from the floor is very Miami (lots of palm trees and sun).
I will keep you posted on my experience as it progresses.
Co-working spaces are the best option for travelling agents and small business owners. A friend of mine got herself a co-working office space, which she shares with two other individuals. She thought the presence of others would disrupt her from working. But she realized she became more productive as the three of them share ideas and opinions about their business. She was also able to build contacts for her company, which is also great for her.
