Coliving & Remote Work Glossary
What is a Remote Team?
A remote team is a group of people working together for the same organization or project - but from different locations. They collaborate online instead of sharing a physical office, often spread across countries or even continents.
Think Slack chats, Zoom calls, and project boards instead of watercooler talk.
Why Does the Term Matter for Remote Workers or Travelers?
Remote teams are the backbone of the location-independent world. Whether you're a freelancer collaborating with others or part of a fully distributed company, understanding how remote teams function is key. They rely heavily on async communication, clear documentation, and mutual trust - which can lead to more flexibility and freedom for everyone involved.
For digital nomads, remote teams make it possible to work from anywhere while staying connected.

Our spaces are designed to support both solo work and group collaboration, making them ideal for remote teams looking for focus and connection in one place.
Common Misconceptions About Remote Teams
“Remote teams don’t build real relationships.”
With intention, remote teams can have strong culture - and sometimes even deeper connections than office-based ones.
“You have to be online 9–5.”
Many remote teams embrace flexible schedules and async work, so long as deadlines and communication stay clear.
“They’re less productive.”
Studies (and experience) often show the opposite - remote teams can be more focused and efficient with fewer distractions.
