Yesguest - from vision to reality
Hello, I’m Katharina Schwangler, founder of Yesguest. After 17 years in the real estate and automotive industries, I left my secure job at BMW to embark on a journey in search of a meaningful purpose.
Like my great passion for pilgrimage, I decided to explore new paths. After a failed social startup venture, I returned to my real estate experience and combined it with my newfound love for hosting, which I discovered through renting out my holiday apartment.
At the beginning of 2023, one of my guests, a digital nomad, introduced me to the concept of coliving. He shared his enthusiasm about spending the previous summer at a surf coliving space in France and the vibrant community he found there. His excitement was contagious, and that moment marked the birth of Yesguest Coliving. I wanted to create similar spaces in the Chiemgau region that combine community, purpose, and sustainability.
Yesguest - your new home with heart
Since June 2023, Yesguest has become a reality with the first coliving space in Prien am Chiemsee. I have created more than just a place to live and work—this is a space where encounters spark connections, friendships, and inspiration.
Yesguest is more than just a roof over my guests' heads. It holds a special place in my heart because it genuinely connects people, offers support, and helps prevent loneliness. Above all, my mission is to provide accessible and affordable temporary housing without unnecessary barriers. My goal is to creatively and thoughtfully expand this concept between Munich and Salzburg.
I look forward to welcoming you to Yesguest. Reach out if I can help you plan your stay or bring your own ideas to life (maybe even a coliving space of your own?).
