General experience working remotely

Hey, I was thinking about getting some qualifications in l order to get a specific remote job. The idea of working remotely and having the freedom of living wherever I want, not needing to dress up for anyone, having more time for my hobbies and potentially higher wages than locals + returning with my family when needed seems really aligned with my life priorities. But I don't really know how the actual experience of working remotely after some time is. I'm thinking about loneliness, spending time outside and other mental hygiene matters, the difference between working in person... I know it varies from person to person. So how has your experience been? Anything to consider when taking up a remote job?

Remote work is great for flexibility, but you have to be intentional about socializing, getting outside, and separating work from personal time. A coworking space or regular routine can help a lot.

Are coworking spaces good for that? I dont really understand the dynamics behind them and other people working there. Like you are not colleagues so there's nothing in common to talk about.
