The Bali experience was awesome! Especially the city leadership! I would be delighted to be back!

Words cannot truly express my experience with Remote Year in the Mozart Journey. It was my first time traveling internationally on my own. Needless to say, it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Our group ranged in age from 20's through 60's and we all were able to bring value to what turned out to be a wonderful table of lifelong friendship. The Remote Year team thought of everything from accommodations, to workspace, internet, and those exciting day and weekend adventures! As a mother, I am grateful for the experiences I am able to pass along to my daughters who are watching and being inspired by my adventures! I look forward to traveling again and again with Remote Year! I highly recommend Remote Year to people who are ready to live life on their own terms.

Just wrapped up a 1 month program in Mexico City and it was absolutely incredible! Coming from India, Mexico is a long ways from home, and not somewhere I would have seen myself exploring anytime soon if it wasn't for Remote Year. But I definitely fell in love with the city, the food, the weather and the people. Giral and Omar were the best program leaders I've had in any RY city. They crafted the best experiences, were always available for any/all of our needs and just became great friends. Giral also went out of his way to help plan a surprise birthday party for a fellow remote. My Merida fam was the greatest group of people, and I can't wait to reunite with them and our program leaders on another RY trip sometime very soon!

Antigua I understand is at a slower pace but it is brilliant walking around and discovering a new cafe, shop or interesting place behind a door People are brilliant Josh the city manager is an absolute star and an amazing person

Remote year is the best way to travel as a single woman looking for adventure, that also craves the security and camaraderie of having a community. Remote year takes away all the pain points of traveling by securing your accommodations, always having an amazing list of experiences to opt into, as well as a built in group of life-long friends that have the same work, play, travel mindset that you do. After being a part of 4 different RY trips so far, I can honestly say I can't imagine doing it any other way. Thank you Remote Year and a special shout out to the Mexico City team!! Giral and Omar make CDMX a can't-miss destination and I would truly go anywhere with them knowing that my experience was in their hands.

This was my first trip with Remote Year. While the pandemic raged in New York, I obsessed over their instagram trying to decide which trip to take when travel was possible again. I chose CDMX because I always wanted to visit and because the time zone shift would be easier. I am so glad I did. This trip was LIFE-CHANGING. I met incredible people, discovered so many possibilities for the next chapter of my work life, and fell back in love with myself. The neighborhood we lived in was beautiful, the activities were so fun, and the people I met were extraordinary. Last but not least, Omar and Giral, our incredible city managers, poured so much love and expertise into everything we did. This experience would not be the same without them. If you’re thinking about signing up for Remote Year, I can only say “do it!” You won’t regret a thing.

Mexico City was amazinggggg! Very friendly people and incredible food. Giral and Omar are the BEST. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and safe and taken care of (and give great recommendations and are just a blast to hang out with). Highly, highly recommend if you’re looking for a 1-month program!

I don't know how easily I can put into words that Remote Year has given me a new lease on life. I keep calling it Study Abroad for Adults. or Sleepaway camp for Adults. And it is those things, but it's more than that. Because as a woman in her early 30s, when all of my friends are having babies and hating their lives, I get to travel around the world, meeting incredible people, and immerse myself in other cultures. I get to laugh, go on adventures, drink wine, learn new things. And I'm still rocking it at work. I feel full and alive and the most crystalline version of joy I have felt in a long time. I was in Valencia, Spain in September, and just finished a month in Mexico City in November. Both were incredible, but CDMX takes the cake so far. The hours were better for me for work, the group was incredible, the day trips and the weekend trip have CHANGED my life, ANDDDD the cream of the crop is the program leader team - Giral & Omar. Two magical humans who are so present, joyful, thoughtful and energized to lead a bunch of 30-somethings around their home city -- they made the experience as otherworldly as it was. Remote Year - you have my heart. See you SOON.
