For members
Find your people in a new city
Book a coliving room or join an experience. Message hosts first, see who else is coming, and read reviews from people who actually stayed.
Browse colivingsA home base and a stage in every city you work from.
CoDNX connects creators, founders and nomads with colivings, studios and local institutions worldwide. You arrive as a participant, not a tourist, and the city is better for it.

Where do you fit?
Three kinds of people build this network. Start with the one that sounds like you.
For hosts and creators
Fill your space, share your craft
List a coliving, studio or experience. Reach travelling professionals directly, keep more of what you earn, and split revenue with co-hosts automatically.
Start hostingFor organisations
Give your community a global side
Accelerators, cities, studios and wellness centres partner with us so visiting talent arrives already connected to local life.
Become a partnerNot a hotel. Not a marketplace. Not tourism.
Coworking gives you a desk. Accelerators are tied to one city. Visas give permission to arrive. Nothing connected them, so we built the layer that does.
Not a hotel
A hotel gives you a key. A CoDNX coliving gives you housemates, shared meals and people who will introduce you to the city.
Not a marketplace
We care less about bookings completed than about what came out of them: projects started, friendships made, income that stayed with a local business.
Not tourism
Every booking supports a local studio, gym or kitchen. Members are there to contribute, and the money stays in the neighbourhood.
Two things, both essential
A place to live and a place to work and create. Together they make a life, not just a stay.
What an arrival looks like
A Japanese tattoo artist lands in São Paulo and moves into a coliving with eight creators. Through the network she lands a month-long studio residency and teaches masterclasses in tebori.
By week three she is self-sustaining. When she leaves, the studio has a global reputation, her housemates see the world differently, and the city is richer in revenue and culture.
The creatorIncome, freedom and a community that travels with them.
The studioA visiting teacher, a global reputation and new revenue.
The colivingA resident who raises the bar for the whole house.
The cityMoney that stays local and culture that deepens.
23 countries, one community
We build for depth, not scale. One city, deeply engaged and locally rooted, is worth a hundred full of idle visitors.

We do not seek sponsors. We build ecosystems with partners.
We do not trade logos on landing pages. We work with organisations that shape cities and cultures, and the exchange is mutual: our members get local roots, our partners get a global audience.
Founding alliance
Impact Hub
Global network for entrepreneurs, with hubs in 120+ countries.
Impact Hub has spent three decades building the static foundation of global innovation hubs. CoDNX adds the moving layer that connects them across borders. In Colombia, Impact Hub runs the Enterprise Europe Network, linking Latin American entrepreneurs with European business institutions.
Instant access on arrival
Members landing in Bogotá or Cali skip weeks of aimless networking and join Impact Hub programmes and matchmaking from day one.
Movement in both directions
Impact Hub delegations stay in CoDNX colivings; CoDNX members work from Impact Hub spaces.
A bridge to Europe
Through the Enterprise Europe Network, members can build European business ties while based in South America.
Partners we are looking for
Innovation agencies and founder networks
Founders arrive in a new country already plugged into its best entrepreneurial circles.
Universities, research hubs and accelerators
We supply the living infrastructure that turns a fellowship into a full immersion.
Cities and economic development bodies
A nomad visa is only a welcome mat. We turn policy into lived integration and local spend.
Wellness centres and somatic practices
Certified practitioners meet trusted local spaces, replacing one-off bookings with lasting practice.
Dojos and movement collectives
Visiting coaches bring new methods to local gyms and find a training home wherever they land.
Residencies and independent galleries
A steady flow of global artists gives neighbourhood galleries an international voice.
Venues and performance stages
Travelling musicians bring underused stages to life, and are paid directly for it.
NGOs, impact funds and civic groups
Skilled professionals matched to grassroots organisations for specific, lasting work.
Culinary academies and food societies
Travelling chefs and researchers trade technique with local institutes.
Start a conversation If your organisation values real civic roots, the door is open.
Marvin Tchio
Founder and CEO
Podcast
At The Cusp of Freedom55+ conversations in one year with people who chose their own path.
How CoDNX began
The search
Marvin left a conventional path to live and work across borders. Colivings gave him energy and spontaneous collaboration, but talented people kept arriving in new cities with no real way in.
The research
He launched the podcast At The Cusp of Freedom and interviewed 55+ people who had built lives on their own terms. The pattern was clear: everyone wanted freedom, but freedom without infrastructure is chaos.
The experiment
Living at Co404 in Oaxaca, he tested whether nomads could trade skills with local businesses and each other. Demand was immediate. People wanted to contribute; they needed a structure.
The realisation
Yoga studios, art spaces and rooftops sat empty for hours while skilled professionals sat in cafés wanting to use them. Nothing connected the two.
The build
CoDNX was built in the Oaxaca highlands, watching what people create for their host cities when given the right tools.
Who is behind CoDNX
Right now CoDNX is built and operated by one person: Marvin. When this site says “we,” it means everyone whose colivings, studios and experiences make up the network. The platform itself is, for now, a one-person build.
You deserve to know that before trusting us with a booking or payment. As CoDNX grows, dedicated people will take on support, payments and dispute resolution, and this page will introduce them by name.
