"How does Co-living Sojuela Joven stand out from other co-living spaces?"

Rural areas are the best to allow for youth development to happen. Here young people can disconnect from the noise of media and find what we really want. Here we can be more creative and healthier as we live closer to nature. Here we can belong, be safe and afford what cities cannot provide. We are an international house with everything needed run by young people for young people and that is quite unique these days.
