From NYC Hustle to Clarity in Algarve: Entrepreneur Laura Salaun’s Workation Sprint with POMAR Coliving
Somewhere between client calls, admin tasks, and the constant low-grade hum of “what’s next,” entrepreneurs start to crave a different kind of productivity. Not more hours. Not more hustle. Just a setup that makes it easier to think clearly and to keep building without burning out.
That’s the headspace Laura Salaun was in when she came to the Algarve for her first coliving experience with POMAR. She’d spent “more than 10 years working for a Digital Marketing agency in NYC,” got “a taste of remote working during the pandemic,” and decided it was time to explore entrepreneurship and more flexible work locations. “So I started my own agency about 2 years ago,” she says. “Working remotely has been a dream of mine for a long time, and a big reason and consideration in my career choices.”
POMAR, as a hybrid place for nomadic and digital workers in the Algarve, close to the beach and fishing villages, gave her a setting that matched her goals: work with focus, live with ease, and actually feel part of something social without trying too hard.
This is Laura’s story: the NYC-to-Algarve contrast, the practical realities of remote work when your job involves “heavy platforms” and crawling websites, and why POMAR felt like “the perfect balance between a shared apartment and a coworking space.”
