Today we are introducing you to Anna Tadini. She joined our team in September 2023 and is bringing to Sun and Co years of experience in the coliving field, a qualification and passion to teach yoga, and a magnetic personality that keeps the community together!
Get to know Anna and what excites her most about life…
Tell us a bit about you, Anna!
I love spontaneity, big laughs and ice cream.
I was born and raised in Northern Italy, a city girl from Milan, but in my eyes the world always seemed big, interesting and full of opportunities.
I moved to the Netherlands in 2016 and in 2020 I adventured solo travel throughout South East Asia. I reached my first coliving, Nine Coliving, at the end of that year as a yoga teacher – little did I know that it would have marked a significant change in my life.
I am not the best at maintaining routines, I love spontaneous plans and I deeply listen to my gut feeling. I know how to be quiet and value my solo time, but I mostly love chatting and having people around. My friends used to call me “a social butterfly”!
I am curious and enjoy learning how things work. If I ask you a random question about the universe for which you have no answer, no need to take out Google! I appreciate creativity!
Last but not least…my birthday is on March 3rd – mark this date, as I LOVE celebrating! 🎉
What do you do at Sun and Co.?
From my experience working in coliving spaces in the past 3.5 years – my job at Sun and Co. is a bit of everything. But I’ll try and capture the essence: I am one of the community hosts, making sure the community runs smoothly and healthy, I take care of Sales (bookings and enquiries) and I am in charge of organizing different types of events, such as our Pop-Up workation retreat and collaborations with Liwoto and Coliving Hub.
As I said, a good variety or responsibilities!
From September 2024 I will take on the role of General Manager, helping a new team to onboard and hopefully fall in love with this community as much as I have.
Outside of work, what do you love to do?
I love hiking and wandering in nature, feeling the cold water of the sea, the sand in between my toes, and hearing the wind between the trees. I love discovering new places and experiencing good local food. I find my peace and flow through yoga and nights out with friends, but I also enjoy relaxing at home in front of a movie or pulling tarot cards. One thing for sure: yes, yes and yes to a cold beer in good company – even better if at sunset time!
If you had to describe coliving in one word, what would it be?
Belonging.
What do you think makes Sun and Co. so special?
I love how each group is really empowered to create their own experience by leading and organizing activities. Each guest brings in their personality and their expertise, making the weekly agenda a mirror of the current community on site. The synergies that are created this way, allow for deep and meaningful connections. It doesn’t matter how many times you have been with us, you will always experience something new!
What is one piece of advice you’d give to someone looking to become location independent?
It doesn’t matter where you go and for how long – respect the place and make it your home for the time you’re there.
Whatever home means to you.
What is your favourite thing about Javea?
The crystal water, even at the port.
Biggest surprise since joining the Sun and Co.’s team?
The amount of guests and familiar faces I already knew from other coliving experiences 🤩 It made me feel at home. I am always surprised how big and at the same time small this community is.
