Home office Mar 17, 2025

I have a home office. How should it be considered?
I used to work in an office when I was an in-house translator for a translation agency. Switched to home office when I started freelancing.

Coworking space and home office Mar 17, 2025

I work in the morning from a coworking space and, in the afternoon, I work from my home office. I do not always follow this order; it depends on the tasks I might have at that moment. However, I definitely like spending time working in a different place, not just at home.

I work in the morning from a coworking space and, in the afternoon, I work from my home office. I do not always follow this order; it depends on the tasks I might have at that moment. However, I definitely like spending time working in a different place, not just at home. I enjoy translating, but I also like to socialise, and a coworking space offers a good oportunity for networking and meeting new people. This year marks the 10th anniversary of my coworking space in Almería (Spain) and I was recently interviewed as part of the anniversary activies. If you are nearby, feel free to come around to Workspace Almería if you need a coworking space.

Home office Mar 18, 2025

My office is in my home. So I work equally at home and in an office. Because they are the same place.

When I was in England, the majority of Turks working illegally there would be terrified of the words "Home" and "Office" (the dreaded "Home Office"). But then they were never used to working in an "office", much less from "home"...

I have always been working at home, too. No need to work outside so far.
