If you are a digital nomad, you might be the envy of most of your corporate worker friends because you can work remotely wherever you are! However, it’s not always as easy as most may think, especially if you are travelling to countries with a relatively poor internet connection, like the Philippines. The good news is, coworking spaces address this problem now. If you happen to be in the Philippine capital, you might want to consider doing your next big gig or project in one of these top coworking spaces in Manila.
