When I moved to São Paulo, I rent a tiny apartment to live alone. Then I decided to open my mind and share a rent with a cowork/friend and we found a very nice, well-located apartment. The arrangement lasted one year and it's definitely better to live alone in a worse place. In São Paulo, in the central neighbourhoods full of newcomer youngsters, that's the most common arrangement.

And of course it's only a period of your life, when you're starting. Now I bought my own place, but in the very beginning of the career it's impossible to do that. I also like this energy of big cities, with many people in their 20's, early 30's sharing spaces. I guess it contributes to a more outgoing atmosphere, people are usually more opened, more likely to go out. It definitely makes urban life better.
