Working from home is an amazing lifestyle improvement over going into the office every day, but sometimes the office can be quite isolating. A recent Twitter conversation got me thinking about some fun places to work outside of the home when you don’t have a company office as an option. Here are some fun places for freelancers and other web and online workers to get some social stimulation during the workday.

Coffee Shop

No list of freelance work locations is complete without a mention of the old standby, your local coffee shop. Whether you prefer the big chains like Starbucks and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf or prefer the independent variety, you are bound to see other remote workers hammering away at the keyboard in coffee shops around the world.
Don’t forget about coffee shops inside of bookstores as great work locations, but avoid grocery store coffee stands as they probably don’t have free wireless internet or tables to sit at while working.

Library

You already pay for your library through property taxes, so you might as well put it to good use! My local downtown library has plenty of desks and tables to use with very fast internet at no charge. While it is sometimes a challenge to find an outlet, it is a fun place to write without being forced into buying a coffee to use the space.
