Hit my 50th coworking space last month and it broke my brain

I've been counting every place I've worked from since leaving my office job 3 years ago. Last month in Medellin I realized I was at number 50 and it actually made me stop and think about all the coffee I've bought. Anyone else keep a tally of something random from the road that ended up being way higher than you expected?

Nah man, I gotta push back on this one. Counting coworking spots like some kind of trophy hunt seems like the opposite of what you're supposed to be doing out there. You're racking up 50 different coffees and desks but probably haven't actually been in any of those cities long enough to learn the local bus routes or find a decent taco spot thats not on Instagram. Met a guy in Chiang Mai who bragged about hitting 30 coworking spaces in a year and he still couldn't tell you a single Thai word beyond hello. Seems like you're just collecting receipts instead of actual experiences.

50 coffees bought or 50 separate coworking memberships? Because @fox.jesse you're way off if you think counting coworking spaces means someone hasn't actually lived there.
