The new partnership includes the Work from Anywhere Contest, where Fiverr freelancers have a chance to win comped accommodation at Selina locations
NEW YORK, August 11, 2022–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Firrer International Ltd. (NYSE: FVRR), the company transforming how the world works together, today announced a new partnership with Selina, one of the world’s largest experiential hospitality brands built to meet the needs of travelers of millennials and Gen Z. The goal of the partnership is to give Anywhere Workers (ie, people who work remotely while traveling from at least two locations, domestic or international, throughout the year), an opportunity to find community and connect with like-minded individuals on their journey. Selina’s partnership also includes the ability for these workers to connect through in-person events and meetups as a way to combat one of the main issues they face: loneliness. Additionally, Fiverr will be launching the Work from Anywhere contest, where ten Fiverr freelancers will be selected to stay at a Selina location of their choice for 3 to 4 weeks.

In a recent survey by Fiverr on Lonely Planet, it was shown that 90% of Anywhere Workers experience loneliness while living this lifestyle. This shows that while the combined “work and travel” continues to grow, there remain challenges in this growing segment of the workforce.
“While being an Anywhere Worker has many benefits including having autonomy and flexibility in one’s work life, it still has challenges such as a lack of community and sense of belonging,” said Gali Arnon, Chief Marketing Officer at Fiverr. “Building, growing and establishing a vibrant and engaging community is at the heart of everything we do at Fiverr. We’re thrilled to partner with a company like Selina that has a physical space around the world to help us address this issue. Together, through various engagement mechanisms, we aim to bring this Anywhere Worker community together to learn, grow and ultimately thrive.”
Selina provides visitors with great places to stay, travel, and work abroad endlessly. The company uses deep local knowledge to create thousands of authentic activities and experiences in over 163 destinations worldwide. Working with Fiverr will give members of the platform’s community exclusive access to Selina worldwide.
“From the beginning, Selina built its mission on fostering meaningful and authentic connections, and we believe that nurturing these connections helps to address the growing struggle of loneliness,” said Elad Nir, Global CMO of Selina. “Our active global coworking community has shown us that remote work doesn’t have to be isolated, and we’re excited to partner with Fiverr and welcome their workers anywhere in our network of 100+ destinations around the world. The Selina experience is carefully designed to bring a sense of community to today’s digital nomads, travelers, and locals alike. Together, by leveraging our platforms and bringing our communities together, we hope to show how building connection through travel creates a sense of community and fulfillment.”
The Work from Anywhere contest will run for three weeks (from August 11 to September 1), where Fiverr freelancers around the world can submit their entries for a chance to win a $2,000 cash voucher for travel expenses from Fiverr, as well as 250,000 Selina tokens (equivalent to approximately $2,000 USD worth of overnight stays and other services at Selina locations ) to redeem on Selina accommodations, wellness activities, and hot-desk access. During their stay, the contest winners will also document and share their experience as Anywhere Worker with the world.
