Pretty interesting. This is what I've been doing for the last 12 months throughout Europe, but with a new location every 1-2 months.
At first the organisational details were the frustrating part, but after almost 12 months and 8 cities the lack of longer term friendships is more of a problem.
In regards to "the headaches of looking after 100 people", surely that's something that can be addressed by limiting the scope of services provided? I think handling 1) accommodation and 2) work would be more than sufficient for most responsible people.
What are your thoughts on this?
- Remote Working Groups (3 - 10 people)
- New city every month
- Rent entire home via AirBNB
- Keep per person avg monthly rent below 1000 USD
Similar experience. I've been moving around every 3 months or so for the past year and a half and man, the friendship and human connection stuff gets hard. So hard in fact that I ended up staying in SF two months longer than intended just because I had found some great people to hang out with regularly.
This is what I have been doing for the past few years and one gets used to it. The internet is useful for keeping connections with family members and friends over long distances.

Awesome. I'd do it if there was some overlap between people I wanted to work around, could tolerate living with, and who had my freedom.
Please tell me you are planning something like this?
It sounds cool doesn't it? I haven't thought about it before this thread but it sounds pretty easy to put together.
Well if you end up doing it, please email me

WhatsApp can only get you so far.
Have you tried co-working spaces? Might help you network with similar people.

How do you find places to stay, for these short periods? Airbnb? I've been thinking of doing a similar thing.
AirBnB has been useful for me. There are other companies like VRBO that work quite well also.
Likewise. AirBnB.
