Warning: That $600 coworking membership in Bali was a total waste of money
I spent 3 months working out of a popular coworking spot in Canggu last year, paying $200 a month for a desk. The wifi dropped every afternoon around 2 PM, the AC was barely working, and the place was packed with people on video calls at max volume. I lost $600 total before I gave up and started working from a quiet coffee shop down the street that had better internet for the price of a $3 latte. Has anyone else found that these coworking memberships are just overpriced hype?

Yeah but look, $200 a month isn't that bad if you think about it. I've seen people drop like $500 on a single weekend music festival ticket and then complain about the portapotty situation. The wifi going out at 2 PM every day sounds annoying sure, but maybe it was just that one spot. I went to a coworking place in Lisbon that was $150 a month and the AC would short out every time someone microwaved popcorn. You just roll with it, find a different table, or use your phone as a hotspot for an hour. People act like losing $600 is the end of the world but that's like two nice dinners out these days.

Wait, didn't that travel blogger totally call it right about the wifi being trash?
