How It Works
Three steps to joining

We keep it simple. Our process is designed to find families who'll genuinely thrive together, not just fill spots.

1

Express Interest

Tell us about your family: who you are, what you value, and what you're looking for. Takes about 10 minutes.

2

Get Matched

We hand-pick families to create balanced, compatible groups. You'll meet other families in a virtual gathering before committing.

3

Confirm & Prepare

Secure your spot with a deposit. We handle the rest: travel tips, group chat, schedules, and everything you need to arrive ready.

The Experience
How we live, eat, and grow together

Every cohort is built around three pillars that turn a group of strangers into a community.

🏠

How We Live

Shared spaces designed for family life. Private rooms for rest, communal areas for connection. Weekly rhythms that balance togetherness with autonomy. Coworking time so parents can keep working.

🍲

How We Eat

Shared meals reduce the daily load and create the table where real bonds form. Communal breakfasts, shared dinners, local ingredients. Kids learn that food is culture.

🌱

How We Grow

Worldschooling circles for kids. Parent conversations that go beyond small talk: boundaries, emotions, partnership, ambition. Weekly spaces for the stuff that actually matters.

Is This For Us?
Cohli is for families who...

We're not for everyone. And that's intentional. Here's how to know if this fits.

✓

Travel with kids (or want to start)

Whether you're full-time nomads or taking your first extended trip, you're looking for more than a holiday.

✓

Work remotely (at least some of the time)

You need WiFi and focused time. We build that into the rhythm so you don't have to choose between work and experience.

✓

Value community over convenience

You're willing to share meals, space, and the occasional messy moment because you know that's where connection lives.

✓

Believe in learning beyond classrooms

You trust that kids learn by doing, exploring, and being part of something bigger than a curriculum.

80% of our families are not full-time travelers. Most have a home base and are exploring a different way of living for a few weeks. You don't need to have "figured it out" to join.
A Day in the Life
What a Tuesday looks like

No two days are exactly the same, but here's a rhythm you can expect. Structure without rigidity.

7:30 AM
Family Breakfast
Slow morning. Fresh fruit, coffee, bread baked by whoever felt like it. Kids running between tables.
9:00 AM
Learning Circle
Kids gather by age group for project-based learning. This week: mapping the local ecosystem with a naturalist guide.
11:00 AM
Nature / Exploration
Hike, river, farm visit, or free play in the gardens. The world is the classroom.
1:00 PM
Shared Lunch
Everyone eats together. Today's cooking crew is the Andersen and Nakamura families.
2:00 PM
Parent Work Time / Kids Play
Coworking space opens. Older kids do self-directed projects. Younger kids have supervised free play.
4:30 PM
Community Activity
Today: pottery with a local artisan. Tomorrow: skill-share where a parent teaches photography basics.
7:00 PM
Dinner & Evening
Shared dinner. After kids are in bed, parents gather for conversation or a quiet glass of wine under the stars.
From Our Families
What families actually say

Not the polished version. The real one.

We came for the coliving. We stayed for the friendships our kids made. Watching them run to greet each other every morning changed something in our family.

I was nervous. Sharing space with strangers? With my kids? But the curation is real. Within three days it felt like we'd known these families for years.

This isn't a vacation. It's harder than that, and better than that. My daughter learned more in four weeks than in a semester at her old school.

Our Story

Built by a family,
for families

We're Tiago and Lauren. We left traditional life with our two kids, Maya and Koa, to travel the world together. What we found was incredible freedom and deep loneliness.

Other families were doing the same thing. Living in beautiful places, working remotely, worldschooling their kids. But doing it alone. We kept meeting families who wanted what we wanted: community without compromise.

So we built Cohli. Not a travel company. Not a school. A way for families like ours to find each other and live together, intentionally, for a while.

This is not a business we invested in. It's a life we designed.

The Real Version
What we want you to know before you apply

We believe in honesty over polish. Here's what this experience actually involves.

Shared space means compromise

You'll share kitchens, living areas, and sometimes patience. Not every family parents the same way. That's part of the growth.

Some weeks feel messy

Kids get sick. Work deadlines collide with community time. The rhythm takes a week or two to find. That's normal.

Goodbyes are hard

Your kids will make deep friendships. Leaving hurts. We've found that the bonds endure, but the farewell day is genuinely emotional.

This is not a holiday

You'll still work, parent, and manage your family's needs. What changes is that you won't do it alone. That's the whole point.

Common Questions
What families ask most
Cohort pricing ranges from €1,200 (1-week Surf Weeks) to €3,200+ (month-long cohorts) per family. This typically includes accommodation, shared meals, education programming, and community activities. Flights, visas, and personal expenses are separate. Payment plans are available: a deposit secures your spot, with the balance split across 2-3 installments.
We welcome families with children of all ages. Most cohorts have kids ranging from 1-12 years old. Learning activities are adapted by age group, and younger children have supervised play during parent work time.
Absolutely. Most parents are remote workers. Each location has coworking space with reliable internet. The daily rhythm includes dedicated parent work time (typically 2-5pm) while kids are in supervised activities or free play.
This is why we curate. Before you commit, you'll attend a virtual meetup with the other families in your cohort. If it doesn't feel right, no pressure. We'd rather have the right fit than fill every spot. And if challenges arise during the cohort, we're there to help navigate them.
Every family is vetted through our application and matching process. Locations are personally visited and selected by our team. Activities are supervised, and each cohort has clear community agreements. Your children are always in a family environment, not separated into an institutional setting.
