Loved this program. Met so many new people and was exposed to new cultures!

I've had an ongoing cancelation request with a couple Selina hostels that were continually getting kicked around and not being refunded. I reached out to Lorena with Nation support to assist, and she's been able to get both trips refunded. What has taken me about two months of back and forth with Selina, she solved in a fraction of the time!

My first retreat I chose to join Remote Year in Jerusalem. It was the best decision I’ve made all year! I’ve learned to trust myself and others more, I ate the best fruits of the Holy Land, and I experienced Yoga and Mediation on the other side of the world. Being around other nationalities and sharing my life with them was very therapeutic as well. I came home feeling very renewed as I wanted to be. Blessed Retreat!

This June I decided to try the Remote Year Retreats. I selected the one in Israel and was not disappointed. From the moment we arrived at the retreat center I felt at home. Everyone attending was their to find out purpose and was open for new experiences. I was excited that I was being able to see people I had met along the way in other RY trips! The program leader was amazing, she listened to us and guided us when needed. She was understanding and caring. I loved the retreat so much that I signed up for another retreat in Aug. I can’t wait to go, my expectations were exceeded and RY is my go to travel group!

The week retreat in Jerusalem Mountains was very amazing. Take a week off to unwind, regroup, refresh, and learn to listen to your body and trust others is well worth the time. There so much for us to learn when searching for our purpose in life, and this retreat helps us find a part of that purpose.

One Month: Athens Remote Year will change you in a positive way, if you let it. Please know that your experience with Remote Year is your responsibility. What does that mean? With RY you will be given an opportunity to explore a different culture with a built in community and support system. Yes, you will have accommodation and a work space. But what you are really paying for is the cultural experience, access to potential lifetime friends from all over the world, and the support of local leaders and RY leadership. The value of the deep human connections you make, and the enriching, life changing memories you share together are worth more than you can imagine. In my opinion, it's these intangibles that show you the intention of the program and true meaning of life, in general. How you perceive the experience is up to you.

Remote year changes lives in every aspect. I can speak from the retreat with Elena to the Athens adventures with Flo, Nikos and Jules… everyone needs to do both of those at least once in life! On to the 12 month program! I love you guys!

I heard about Remote Year prior to 2019 before I had a remote working opportunity. In May of this year, I was looking them up again and noticed they had month-long programs, which were perfect for my needs. I went to Split Croatia for June. Split is a fabulous location to be based out of for the month. My experience overall was wonderful! The staff (Celine + Ivana) were great and went above and beyond! Our apartment was in a great location. It wasn't five-star by any means. It has the basic essentials. But personally, you shouldn't do this program for the accommodations. You should do it for the people! I made so many amazing now lifelong friends. The value of having people on the ground floor that know the city, and a group of other solo travelers was perfect for me as a first-time abroad solo traveler. It gave me the confidence and support I needed. I highly recommend Remote Year.
