Hi Gretchen! We have a coworking space here in São Paulo, Brazil, and we would love to participate in the survey. I believe that many of our coworkers would join and we have many thriving coworkers here. Some people love coworking.
But I'm not sure if such a distant city and place would generate a distortion to your study due to cultural discrepancies. Please let me know if you would like us to participate and we can share the link among our coworkers. We have many foreingers here that could participate as well.
