Coworking is a style of work that involves a shared working environment. Unlike a typical office environment, those coworking are usually not employed by the same organization. 

Coworking is attractive to work-at-home professionals, independent contractors, or people who travel frequently who end up working in relative isolation. Coworking is the social gathering of a group of people who are still working independently, but who are interested in the synergy and collaboration that can happen from working with people who value working in the same place alongside each other.

Coworking offers a solution to the problem of isolation that many entrepreneur and freelancers experience while working at home, while at the same time letting them escape the distractions of home.
