Hello!
My name is Laura and this is how I came to start Pitaya Coliving.
For many years, I worked helping humans connect with technology in ways previously unknown to them, but in 2018, I left that behind and packed my bag, travelling the world for a year - an experience that changed me forever. Travelling has always been my passion; being inspired by other cultures, traditions and ways of living.
After my year travelling, I started to work remotely, but I knew something was missing - that sense of community I had found so inspiring. Thus the idea for Pitaya was born, offering a space for those who work remotely but still want to travel and be inspired by the community around them, where different cultures can coexist and experiences are shared.
Of all the Canary Islands, Lanzarote has that nomad spirit which is at the soul of our ethos and so I’ve decided to start this coliving adventure here.
At this point you may be wondering, why Pitaya? Like many of us, the fruit Pitaya is not native to Lanzarote, but you can find them everywhere, and when I moved in to start this project, it was pitaya season. The plant always finds a way to make meaningful connections, and eating the fruit is an experience in itself. Just like Pitaya coliving!
