Best decision I ever made! My one month trip to Colombia with Remote Year has been my favorite travel experience to date. Our city managers Cata and Maria made the entire month so seamless that I was able to balance focusing on work and enjoying my free time. They both went above and beyond making us feel right at home in their country and it made all the difference having locals as our City Guides.

Remote Year did an impressive job with the trip I took to Albania in July of 2023. The housing and logistics were great. I was late to the country due to flight delays, but Ardit and Gert worked hard on producing an A+ video of how to access my apartment. I’d nominate them for an Academy Award if I could. And Anna was waiting at the airport to get me where I needed to go. It was great after a LONG day of being stuck in Heathrow Airport. After arriving at the apartment, I found a wonderful and spacious living space with great AC (key for Europe in July), a washing machine, and all the accoutrement for a great month. The apartment was close to activities and to the co-work, but just enough away that it was peaceful. The add-on activities should not be missed. Albania is a beautiful country. The Riviera is gorgeous, and I even got to stay a few extra days. The Albanian Alps trip was great. Its difficult hiking, no doubt about it – but worth the effort. And, if I made it…I’m sure you can. Just don’t expect a “Walk in the Park”. Speaking of which, the park in Tirana was also lovely and huge. Be sure to check that out. So what was the best part about the trip? I'm not sure i can pick a best part. Meeting such an interesting, intelligent, and compassionate group of people interested in the world around them was awesome. And, the weekend trips like the Riviera and the Accursed Mountains were tremendous. All in all a fabulous job by Ardit and Gert to introduce us to an interesting and beautiful country still developing on the international tourism stage. I highly recommend this trip.

Since I am not always traveling and not always a remote worker, the months I have been able to take with the program are extra special to me and help remind me of the many ways people find a balance to travel and work. But often I find the exposure to new places and people make the most lasting impression on me. It always helps me as I look ahead for my own work as I try to incorporate more travel into my life.

Had an incredible month in Mexico City - Omar was the best city guide you could hope for!! Have already recommended RY to lots of friends 💜🧡🙏 Beautiful month in a beautiful city with beautiful people

The experience was amazing. There were only 9 of us in Mexico City and some of our activities got canceled because we couldn’t meet the quota BUT Omar, our city leader was amazing . Even simple dinners were a blast. I was 30 years older than most of the group but we all blended so well. We were silly most of the time and I laughed the whole month. There were hiccups on the admin side before the trip but everything worked out well in the end. I wanted my own place (and I do recommend that now that you can chose your own).Be prepared for your house feeling extra quiet when you get home. It’s a bit of an adjustment after having such a fun group of people on vacation with you. Everything Omar said was funny and I miss having someone like that around to entertain!

My experience with remote year was life-changing, and the best money I have ever spent in personal development or networking. This was my first time living and working remote, so I felt comfortable traveling with our group of 14 to Mexico City. The whole experience cultivated a tightknit community. I have made lifelong friends and indispensable business connections, one of which is Giral, a.k.a. Paco he really made us all and me in particular feel at home in a foreign city, he went out of his way to get us reservations at the best bars, restaurants and clubs in the city. He knew all the hotspots, and as a Mexico City native was the ultimate tour guide, spiritual, Sherpa, and instant best friend, draw is a shining star in the remote year community. My experience would not have been the same without him. We are now lifelong friends and I consider him my brother. I had a great experience with remote year, and I am now considering a one year track around the world in 2024 special thanks to Paco and , the Remote, your community for making this experience, stress-free, fun, easy, and rewarding. I highly recommend here to any one who is a first time international traveler and even seasoned pros. I highly recommend going “full send” on all of the experiences and trips. Book all the experiences, go on all the trips, eat all the food, and drink all the Mezcal. I am currently eyeing trips for 2024. Ideally, Paco will be the leader of the trip or he will at least be in the city when we are there. Planning to go back to Mexico City sometime soon and will definitely be kicking it with Paco then! Muchos Gracias!!!

I had the most incredible time in Mexico City with Remote Year. We were put up in beautiful apartments that fit our preferences (I wanted a little more quiet and had a gorgeous apartment with two roommates on a quiet street) that were still close to the other Remoters. We had the most AMAZING community leaders, Omar and Paco, and formed really close relationships with them. The program was the perfect mix of group activities and independent time. I felt like I always had an activity I could join but I was also free to do my own thing as well. Lots of variety in the activities as well - cultural, food-related, artistic, touristy, off-the-beaten-path, and partying:) I loved it so much. It really felt like the perfect way to experience a new city. Big special thanks to Paco who went out of his way to make everyone feel special and included <3

The city of Valencia is beautiful and the city team (Marina and Julio) is awesome. They both went above and beyond to give our group unique local experiences and ensure our trip was amazing. Highly recommend booking the RY trip in Valencia! This was my 5th one-month trip with RY, and I can't recommend their trips enough. I've made several lifelong friends through the program and am excited to continue booking more RY trips in the future.
