What’s your background?
I wanted to work in a field where I could work remotely, so I changed from being an administrative in a small company to work as a Software Engineer for an international company.
How long have you been working remote and what are you currently working on?
I started working remotely with the pandemic, when everyone in my company was sent home because of the lockdown.
I recently switched to a company that has been working distributed and remotely for years: their remote culture is more settle and not due to the world circumstances.
I'm working at Elastic, on the observability and monitoring product. I love working and contributing to make software for software companies.
What is your favourite thing about Nine Coliving?
My favourite thing about Nine is the community, having the opportunity of meeting like-minded people. I made Nine my home base. I love the location in the North of the Island.
Oh and Lara, I have a love story with her, she doesn't care, but we are in love hahaha
The season of Romerias has started! Only last week our community joined the romeria in La Florida, a small village close to Nine.
Marta gives her name to one of Nine's most emblematic rooms. She has designed our brand new kitchen and has been part of several anecdotes at Nine.
Miriam aka Mimi has been at Nine for over a year and has now been the longest resident at Nine! She decided to make Nine her base and only travel from the island and back a few weeks at a time.
Meral came to Nine in November 2019 and returned in 2020. With her now fiancé, she is planning to spend a few months a year on the island while working remote.
Hannah first came to Nine as our Yoga teacher. Now, besides teaching, she is the proud founder of the sustainable loungewear/pijama brand Rho.
Silvia started working at Nine in September 2020 as the Host and House Manager. Being a local from la Orotava, we asked Silvia to tell us a bit more about herself.
Johannes arrived in the community one day before the Spanish government announced the lockdown because of COVID-19. He joined his girlfriend Sarah, who was teaching yoga at Nine, and ended up living with us for 3 months.
Janos arrived to Nine a week before the Spanish government announced the lockdown because of COVID-19. What was supposed to be a month stay, turned into a 3 month adventure.
As many others, Alex arrived to Nine just before the COVID-19 lockdown was announced. He became part of the family and stayed with us longer than expected!
When Stephanie stayed at Nine, it was her first coliving experience. From working in fashion, she changed her life and launched her own Business & Brand management career.
