Our City Lead and the tour guides were amazing! They all made sure we had the best experience in their country and explained about the culture and history while also sharing their personal experiences and deep love of their culture/country. The City Lead's customer service and attention to detail (with a very diverse group) was spot on! Accommodations and workspace were modern, clean and easily accessible.

As a mother and wife, it was an amazing chance to work and travel. I was able to follow my dreams! It was easy to book and with so many resources thru the entire process, I felt safe and totally taken care of.

As my first RY program, I didn't have many expectations about what my month in Peru would look like. But even in my wildest dreams, I would have never predicted the magic that was my experience in Peru! Ari + Fran were incredible leaders for our group and curated the most well rounded, exciting, and meaningful month for us. Ari was amazing at spreading positive energy, organizing events that were tailored to the interests we expressed, and fostering strong relationships within the group that allowed us to build a strong bond. Fran was extremely thoughtful in selecting experiences in the city (and in our weekend excursions) that maximized on the wide variety of activities Peru has to offer. The stories Fran shared gave us a unique perspective on the country that made each location we visited unforgettable. Throughout the month, we traveled through every climate and landscape you can imagine. Between the natural beauty of the Amazon Jungle, to the breathtaking sunsets of the desert, to the larger than life views in Andes mountains -- every weekend had something brand new to offer. There were also plenty of opportunities to ignite your inner adrenaline junkie on each weekend getaway, which was a surprise I was extra pumped about! To wrap it up, if you crave adventure & variety, great food & great people, Peru is the right place for you!

I did RY - Cape Town and it was one of the most special month’s of my life! I had a great group to accompany me in my first RY program and felt like a real family - we all looked after each other and were open to join any and all experiences! RY leaders Nat and Mpumi were wonderful and had great recommendations of where to go in the city depending on the interest / activity. Also accommodations were very nice, clean and modern - close proximity to the co-working space and all kinds of amenities.

I knew someone who did the 12-month RY program, and it inspired me to join the 4-month journey. I chose to do Asia, and it was my first time traveling this long as a digital nomad. This is one of the best decisions I've made, and I've made a lifetime of memories. I felt set up for success for the journey with RY providing plenty of onboarding materials and webinars, and my city leader (Sharon) setting up a 1-1 call to answer any questions I had. The city leaders in Hanoi (Trang and Chau), Chiang Mai (Miao), and Goa (Chantal) were amazing and were really thoughtful about how they established the city and experience. The city teams did a great job giving recommendations and tips, answering our many questions, and really helping us immerse in the culture. Our community leader, Sharon, was also fantastic and had a great personality to lead our crew. She made our community very strong by setting up fun unofficials or organizing a casual dinner. Some of the group also decided to do our own transition trips in between (outside of RY), which was great to squeeze in some other countries on the way. I also had some friends visit along the way that was able to meet the group which was fun. I would also say that part of this experience you will need an open mind. Traveling does not always go smoothly and hiccups will happen, but it's all part of the experience. I'd also recommend to pack as light as possible. However, you can always ship stuff back as many in my group did. Overall, take the leap!

CDMX is just amazing. The RY apartments are mind blowing. So extra. Each 3 bedroom could fit 30 ppl (we did that a few times.) RY never ceases to amaze me in how well they choose their guides. Giral was our city leader. 11/10. Yaa was the community leader for a group that began their first month of a year long journey in cdmx. Also 11/10. With Giral, you get deep into all that makes cdmx special. With Yaa, we got constant attention to our group needs. Both did everything to give us an unforgettable experience

Marina was such a pleasure to get to know and spend time with while in Valencia. Her kindness, knowledge and willingness to always help made our time so special!

I've used RY twice now (Medellín and Tirana) both we're great. I've been group traveling since 2018 but it was always vacation based travel. Now I work remotely and wanted to travel longer and work so I googled and found RY. The concept is perfect because I can pick dates and locations that work for me and know that I'll have friends there when I arrive who are like minded.
