Vivís trabajando desde la compu, cambiando cafés como oficina, o soñás con emprender pero todavía no arrancaste? Este espacio es para vos. La idea es simple: **hacer un stop** al laburo, respirar un poco, bajar revoluciones y conectar con personas que viven (o quieren vivir) la misma onda. Nómadas digitales, freelancers, creadores, emprendedores… y también los que están en ese limbo de “quiero pero no sé por dónde empezar”. Todos son bienvenidos. Acá no venís a vender nada ni a “cazar clientes”. Venís a charlar, compartir experiencias, entender que no estás solo/a en este estilo de vida medio caótico pero hermoso. Historias reales, ideas, frustraciones, aprendizajes, risas, oportunidades… lo que surja. **Y sí: prohibido usar el celular.** Queremos que te desconectes del trabajo por un ratito y te conectes con personas de carne y hueso. (Si necesitás un traductor o hay una emergencia, obvio se permite 😂). La vibra es relajada: vos traé ganas de hablar, de escuchar y de abrir un poco tu mundo. Capaz salís con un amigo nuevo, una idea fresca, o simplemente con energía renovada para seguir creando. 📍 **Viernes 4–6 pm – Green Eat (Florida 201, CABA)** 💸 **Costo simbólico: $5.000 ARS** (No es obligatorio consumir nada).

Todos llegamos igual: con ganas de conectar un rato y tomar aire del laburo. *** ## Working remotely, living with your laptop as your sidekick, hopping from café to café, or dreaming about starting your own project? Then this hangout is totally your place. The goal is simple: **press pause** on work, breathe a little, and connect with people who get your lifestyle. Digital nomads, freelancers, creatives, entrepreneurs… and also the “I want to be one but I’m not there yet” crew. Everyone’s welcome. This isn’t a sales event or a pitch session. It’s a space to talk, share stories, exchange ideas, laugh, learn, and realize you’re not the only one navigating this wild but beautiful way of living. **And yes: phones are off-limits.** We want you to disconnect from work for a moment and reconnect with actual humans. (Emergencies or translator rescues allowed, of course 😂). The vibe is easy-going: bring your curiosity, your voice, your questions, your experiences — whatever you feel like sharing. You might walk out with a new friend, a new idea, or just a lighter mind. 📍 **Friday 4–6 pm – Green Eat (Florida 201, CABA)** 💸 **Symbolic contribution: $5.000 ARS** (No purchase required). Come alone or with someone. Everyone arrives the same way: ready to pause work and connect for a while.

Join us every other Sunday at Plaza Inmigrantes de Armenia in Palermo Soho for Cultural Crossroads in the Park, a fun and inclusive meetup led by Dr. Zachary McKinley, a cultural researcher from the USA. Kicking off at 3:00 pm with 30 minutes of casual networking, this gathering invites you to grab a coffee or mate beforehand and connect with fellow participants. At 3:30, Dr. McKinley will guide a 1.5-hour collaborative group discussion exploring cultural dimensions and their profound influence on thoughts, behaviors, perceptions, and communication styles across borders. Whether you're a local, an expat, or just curious about the richness of cultural diversity, this event is your opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations and broaden your understanding of the world. All are welcome; however, **the conversation will be entirely in English**, as the host does not speak fluent Spanish. Note: To stay safe and hydrated, please bring bug spray, sunscreen/hat, and something to drink (such as mate/coffee/tea/etc.). A blanket to sit on is recommended but not required.

I feel many of us want this, but don't exactly know how to go about it. I hope this helps a little bit. I also work as a transformational coach: I help people who feel stuck in their life to reconnect with themselves, create real change and ultimately live more fulfilling lives. 🔗 bento.me/pierrebonvalot
