The place itself becomes the host sometimes

In 2016, Manu co-founded Germany's first residential Coliving in Hamburg. In 2020, he moved to the countryside to start a rural destination coliving with ten bedrooms north of Hamburg. That was intense and extremely rich in learning. Etti grew up in the city and left home when she was sixteen to attend an international boarding school in Wales. That was her first experience of community. But it was only when she became a mum, about six years ago, that community became an important theme again. Motivated by a strong feeling of loneliness, she began researching different types of communities. After several years of theory, she finally had the courage and moved to where she met Manuel in 2022. Together, they then embarked on a journey to start Moom Coliving, a rural, intentional, and mindful coliving space in the German countryside open to families with children and animal lovers.
