Summary

Digital technologies have made it possible for people to work from literally anywhere in the world, as long as they have the right devices and Wi-Fi (Torten et al., 2016). At the same time, the number of self-employed workers is growing rapidly. This group usually does not have an office in a firm they can go to every day, to work. Digital technologies open up an array of possibilities. Working is possible anywhere and anytime. Self-employed workers can choose to work from home, a rented hot desk in a co working space, in coffee-shops, hotel lobbies, and even on the beach in a sunny resort on a beautiful island. In this chapter, the focus lies on self-employed workers who work in hotel lobbies that were not primarily designed as co-working spaces.
