Remote Year provides a great way to experience Lisbon; with so many great recommendations from Viviana and Pedro that a month just isn’t enough to cover it all. Being with a group of people who also love to travel, and explore means there is always something on the go or someone too meet up with if you feel like taking a break from work. A very cool Co-Working space with a roof top terrace central to all the apartments, although I personally didn’t use it much because of how AMAZING the apartment was! I couldn’t have asked for better! Lisbon is such an amazing city with such a vibey atmosphere, tons of rooftop bars, view points, outdoor restaurants, beach parties, beautiful sunsets and the nightlife is amazing. It is incredibly safe to walk around day and night. Lots of expats from all over the world, and all the locals we met were such lovely people. I would have loved more time in Lisbon, and will definitely be back.

Lovely city and lovely city team

I’ve done Remote Year programs in both Medellin and Lisbon and have loved them both. I’ve done a Hacker Paradise program in Buenos Aires as well. RY is a little more expensive but RY sets itself apart with teams of local staff and experiences to book. Having the local staff is such a plus to me. I’ve appreciated how they share their cultures, languages, sight seeing tips, etc. with us. I’ve been impressed with housing in both places—Lisbon was especially fancy! The people who participate in these trips are usually so lovely as well. I enjoyed spending so much time with my friends on my trips and also learning from them. Fun experiences I booked via RY include: guatape, coffee farm tour, and big walking tour in Medellin and azulejo tile painting and pastel de nata cooking class in Lisbon. Both had really nice coworking spaces as well with housing fairly nearby. I have really enjoyed both of these trips and hope to do more in the future.

Team was great! City was awesome. Apartment was decent. Food was worthy. Events were epic. Thanks to everyone involved!

My recent wonderful experiences with the Remote Year program in Valencia were largely due to our wonderful hosts Marina and Julio. They were incredibly warm and inviting and truly wanted all of to have a first class experience in Valencia. The RY program has done a good job of choosing a great location in Valencia (Ruzafa) and comfortable accommodations. 5 stars no doubt. Put this trip on your list!

Remote Year has delivered an extraordinary experience, seamlessly merging my professional responsibilities with my love for travel and cultural exploration. With excellent organizational skills and flexibility, the team ensured a smooth transition, reliable work conditions, and facilitated cultural immersion at Floripa. Challenges were tackled proactively and efficiently, and the sense of community within the diverse group of remote workers was unparalleled. By delivering a perfect blend of professional and personal growth, and a local/cultural understanding, Remote Year has far exceeded my expectations and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking to enrich their remote working journey.

Spending a month in Tirana, Albania was a wonderful experience. The RY staff was terrific. They chose nice apartments for us, we had a great workspace and the day and weekend trips were fun and interesting. Would definitely go on another Remote Year trip.

Florianapolis - The Magic Island This is my second, one month program with Remote Year and like the 1st one, it DID NOT disappoint. My time here on this beautiful island was nothing short of amazing. I came during off peak season and it was perfect. No crowds to compete with, the weather was mild and beautiful. Thiago is an amazing City Manager. He is so engaged, and helped a group of traveling strangers become a little family of sorts as we ventured across the island together. Thiago and Cori Lynn put together an incredible events list, especially the long weekend in Rio de Janiero and our time on the Conceicao Lagoon. Loved, loved, loved it!!! Every safety measure was put in place making it so easy to just relax and explore. I am headed to Japan in November with Remote Year and honestly if it is half as incredible as this one has been, I am in for another experience of a lifetime!!
