Unveiling Kenya's Potential: "Much work remains to be done in promoting Kenya's striking landscapes and warm-hearted residents on a global scale"

In a podcast on digitalnomadstories.co, Duncan Malcolm shared his journey from sailing the seas to founding Skippers Coliving, a unique co-living space in the picturesque beach town of Diani, Kenya. As the founder of Skippers Coliving, Malcolm has created a dynamic blend of living, working, and sailing experiences for digital nomads, solo travellers, and adventurers. The co-living space, nestled on the Kenyan coast, offers a range of amenities including a gym, pool, and restaurant, known as the House of Woodfired, which ranked 14th out of 66 restaurants in Diani on TripAdvisor in just nine months. Malcolm's vision for Skippers Coliving was born three years ago, during a visit to Diani where he fell in love with the area's growth, new food and activity options, and strong connection to nature. The creation of Skippers Coliving has been a process over the last 3-4 years, inspired by the founders' own experiences and the people they've met. The community aspect is central to Skippers Coliving, offering shared experiences and people to explore the world with. Guests at Skippers Coliving are encouraged to participate in programs that give back to the local community, such as visiting churches and orphanages, and offering free career counseling in local schools. Malcolm, who has a background in technology and has worked for almost 20 years, built Skippers Coliving from scratch. He travelled the world and Europe by boat before settling in Diani and founding the co-living space. Infrastructure concerns, particularly security and Wi-Fi speed, are common challenges when educating people from Europe and the US about Kenya. However, Skippers Coliving has proven to be a success, with the space being fully booked before finishing its first room and almost fully booked since opening. As Skippers Coliving continues to thrive, Malcolm and the team are looking to expand within Diani and East Africa. They are seeking advisors and investors to help them realise their vision of creating more lively communities for remote workers across the region. Steffi Hochgraef is associated with Skippers Coliving, with contact information and a bio available on the website teamskippers.com. For those looking for a unique co-living experience that combines adventure, community, and personal growth, Skippers Coliving in Diani, Kenya, is the perfect destination.
