Unsettled is a global coliving and coworking retreat company that takes remote workers, entrepreneurs, and founders on curated adventures around the world. Retreats run one week, two weeks, or one month in destinations across multiple continents, combining structured work time with community experiences, workshops, and local exploration. With over 2,000 alumni from 80+ countries, Unsettled has built one of the most established coliving retreat communities in the digital nomad space.
Unsettled runs month-long (and shorter) coliving and coworking retreats for professionals who want to work remotely while genuinely experiencing a place alongside a curated group of peers. Since launching, the company has taken thousands of remote workers, entrepreneurs, and creatives through immersive programs in destinations spanning Morocco, South America, Southeast Asia, Europe, and beyond.
Each Unsettled program centers around a shared space where participants live and work together. The weekly schedule includes:
The format is deliberately designed to avoid the transient, surface-level feel of solo travel. You are placed in a cohort — typically a mix of founders, freelancers, and remote professionals — and the community dynamic is a core part of the value proposition.
Unsettled has built its brand around the idea that the best professional growth often happens outside the office. Their 2,000+ alumni come from more than 80 countries, spanning a wide range of industries. The company won the United Nations World Tourism Organization's inaugural Global Travel Startup Competition in 2018, cementing its credibility in the responsible travel space.
The typical participant is not a backpacker chasing cheap hostels — Unsettled attracts professionals willing to invest in a premium, community-first experience. Programs range in duration from one week to one month, with pricing reflecting the all-inclusive nature of accommodation, workspace, and programming.
Unsettled operates retreats across more than a dozen destinations and rotates its calendar seasonally. Past and recurring locations have included Morocco, Colombia, Bali, Portugal, and South Africa, among others. Current upcoming retreats and open applications are listed at travel.beunsettled.co.
Beyond the retreats, Unsettled has expanded its footprint through the acquisition of Wanderbrief, a digital nomad platform with members from 150+ countries and partnerships with brands like Adobe, Selina, and Vodafone. This acquisition extended Unsettled's reach into the broader online nomad community well beyond in-person retreat participants.
For founders and remote workers who find typical coliving arrangements too anonymous and solo travel too isolating, Unsettled's structured-but-flexible format occupies a distinct niche — an intentional community that moves.
