A life-changing experience. The Remote Year month in Valencia was one of the best and most impactful experiences of my life. The leaders of the group planned and facilitated many opportunities to get to know the city and fellow travelers. We learned about the amazing food and culture of Valencia and the experience was so much more fun with our new friends.

This is my second Remote Year month long journey and it lived up the extremely high expectations that the first one set. This time I spent a month in Floripa, Brazil which was led by Thiago. Every experience was extremely well thought out and executed to perfection. The other people who were a part of the journey made it that much more special. I would highly recommend Floripa and Remote Year to anyone who is considering it.

This was my first time traveling with Remote Year and was absolutely amazing. From the very beginning I felt connected to my group and it felt like we were old friends in a new adventure. For me, the fact that we were a small group (10 people) made the difference because we could always go everywhere together and that really helps building a community. As far as the staff goes, I have nothing but positive words. Thiago always went above and beyond for us, helping us everytime we needed him (in my case, even before the trip) and the tours were super well organized. Liliane was great in all tours. She was always smiling and happy to help and teach about the brasilian culture. As a company, I would definitely recommend Remote Year and absolutely would go on another adventure with you. It's amazing how you think about every single detail and try your best to make the experience an absolute 20/10.

I did a month long trip in Medellin through remote year and I cannot recommend it highly enough!! Maria was our leader in Medellin for the month and she was the absolute best throughout the entire experience. Maria always had everything perfectly organized when it came to our coworking space, as well as our activities/excursions or even recommendations for local restaurants and things to do. She can take care of it all and was always there to help when I had questions. I am planning to return in the near future, and it’s because remote year gave me such a good experience. The city is beautiful and the people were all very friendly. If you’re looking for a program to explore a new part of the world while working remotely, then look no further than remote year! Maria has you covered for an amazing experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed my first month and first time experience with remote year. Thiago and Cata were a fantastic team! They both went above and beyond as community leaders/managers. They both brought positive community and culture to my experience. I am forever grateful to have crossed paths in life with both of these amazing humans in the world. Floripa is a beautiful island for those interested in beaches, surf, fishing and more. The accommodations were better than expected and offered convenience. Join the experiences to get the most of the island and visit Rio! Each experience will take you to a different part of the island and you will see it all if you join them all. Things to note: accommodations are in the center of floripa, not by a beach or on water. If you are looking for beach life, there is a Selina near by (30mins) take a day and work from there to enjoy the beach. The town closes down on certain days of the week, so be prepared to stay in or go to the beach/outdoors during those days. There is a pool, small gym, sauna, laundry, coworking and restaurants in the building. Local restaurants/shops and bars are walkable- venture out. Uber is your way around - download the app, it’s easy. Safety** you are as safe as you make yourself. Don’t be a target and you’ll be finer than wine. Some might read this like oh she’s a 20 something, probably travels all time, rent free, single, women. Nope! I am married in my 30s, have a mortgage, 2 dogs and work full time. I traveled alone, budgeted for my trip ahead of time and took a few days off while I was on my journey. So you can do it too, I hope this helps to whoever you are that is debating the ifs/ands/buts. Positive mind will bring positive vibes.

Wonderful trip!!

I loved medellin so much and Maria was the best 👌

Medellin stole my heart and it wouldn’t have been the same without RY’s amazing María Alejandra Ocampo. She took care of all of us and made sure we had a beautiful experience. Wherever she is with RY I will follow her!
