I finally hit a wall with my 'work from anywhere' setup in Medellin

Last month in Medellin, I tried working from a trendy rooftop cafe for a week straight. The wifi was fine, but the constant background music and chair that killed my back after two hours made me totally unproductive. I ended up wasting about $50 on overpriced coffee just to keep my seat. How do you guys find spots that are actually good for getting real work done, not just looking cool for Instagram?

Honestly, why not just work from your apartment? Tbh those cafes are a trap for productivity.

My local coffee shop charges six dollars for a latte now. It feels like we're all just paying for the background noise.

I used to love cafes but "trap for productivity" is exactly right after my own Medellin disaster.

That Medellin story, @the_riley, I get it now.
