This month was my first time traveling outside of the country for longer than a weekend on a resort, and I was so greatful for the gentle guidance that was provided not just by Amanda and JD, but by the community of support that Amanda has worked to build into Moksha. I always felt like I had a place to go for questions, and a safety net of savy individuals to back me up when I didn't think to ask questions. I came in for one month to a group of people where many were on their 11th, and was welcomed in even though circles where already ready tight knit. JD provided a genuine enthusiasm that helped me fall in love with Peru, and recommendations for restaurants that never disappointed! My experience with remote year, even though brief by most comparisons, has been an unforgettable and transformitive experience!
Our month in Lima with Remote Year was one of the best months of our lives. We’ll never forget the incredible, diverse landscapes we experienced on our awesome weekend adventures, nor all the people we met along the way. Highly highly highly recommend!
Oh what can I say about my samba 4 month journey led by our community leader Thiago.
I did july-oct Latin America program (CDMX, Colombia, Peru and Brazil). The highlight of the program was Thiago who was the best person to lead the program. He was genuine and took utmost care of us. The program would not have been same without him and we ended up as a life long friend (I hope he feels same😅).
I would definitely join another program in a heartbeat led by Thiago.
Lisbon is an amazing country! It’s absolutely beautiful and there is no shortage of things to do. I found it easy to find my way around; the people are friendly and kind. RY group activities were fun; I especially loved cultural experiences. Viviana is unbelievable! She has such a kind, accepting, and welcoming personality that puts one at ease.
Memorable experience with a guide who knows all the hidden gems 💎
Viviana is an amazing guide who knows all the hidden gems!! She’s such a delightful presence and always bring good vibes.
Remote year is also very flexible with their schedules, tailored to everyone’s preferences.
Overall the experience has been memorable. We’ve got each others back :)
My remote experience in Cape Town was incredible! There were so many things to do, and I met so many amazing people along the way. I stayed in a fantastic location that truly made me feel like I was living the Cape Town life. From connecting with local vendors at the markets to enjoying neighborhood eateries, I felt like a part of the community. Natalie made the transition so easy and was incredibly supportive throughout my stay, which made a world of difference. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic and immersive time in Cape Town!
I fell in love with Lisbon! Great mix of old and modern! Great city to wander around by yourself or in a group. Lisbon is hands down one of my favorite RY locations ! I enjoyed the central location of our apartment, and it was very ascetically pleasing and modern. Best RY accommodation so far!!! Viviana was great! Always quick to respond and eager with suggestions!
One month in Lisbon was so transformative! Viviana was the best host and set us up for such a great month full of curated experiences. I absolutely loved everything the city had to offer and the community that I got to spend it with :) Highly recommend this city and the 1 month program here!
My trip to Osaka in September 2024 was a truly enriching experience and one of the highlights of my remote year journey. Ken is, by far, the best city manager I’ve encountered. His professionalism, extensive knowledge, fantastic personality, and thoughtful recommendations made my time in Osaka exceptional. The city itself is peaceful, safe, fun, and culturally vibrant, with amazing food and friendly people. I’m so glad I decided to visit! Ken, keep up the excellent work—I truly appreciate all your help, guidance, and incredible patience!
My first trip with RY was a test to see if I could travel and work at the same time. I was able to juggle my work commitments and social activities. Although I had to learn how to be okay with saying no to somethings. It was a very successful experiment and now I know the world is a big open space waiting for me to discover it, one month at a time.
Lisbon and having Viv as my city manager was incredible. She truly gave me the 5 star concierge experience. She was extremely responsive and was always happy to provide A+ recommendations. For example, she gave me three different beach hopping itineraries. The welcome and farewell events she organized were lovely. Having a professional vintage car tour and a sunset boat cruise was wonderful. She got us reservations at some of the best restaurants as well (e.g., Ponto Final). She truly went above and beyond. The city of Lisbon itself is amazing and I would recommend everyone do the RY Lisbon trip. I didn't stay in the RY apartments but I wish I did because they were beautiful and centrally located. The coworking space was also incredibly gorgeous and centrally located. Overall Viv and Lisbon are a 10/10!
Remote Year played a pivotal role in my personal growth, thanks to the friendships I made and the self-discoveries I experienced. Josh and Marina were fantastic hosts, whose positive energy and well-organized events made the trip really special. I highly recommend this program to anyone new to solo travel or looking to connect with like-minded professionals:)
I have done many 1-month RY programs and I would rate my experience in Valencia among the best. Marina goes above and beyond to organize, plan, communicate, and make sure all visitors have a fantastic time. She is incredibly kind. The trip vendors RY works with were also all fantastic. They were so nice and hospitable and wanted to make sure you had a great time on the trip. And the experiences/add-ons that can be booked were also very unique and among my favorites. The city is also very beautiful and manageable!
The people involved are amazing , very knowledgeable and are always looking out for you ! I would 100% recommend anyone who’s interested in doing a trip like this to go to Valencia you’ll have a great time guaranteed.
I've done Multiple Remote Year trip, and the most recent one to Valencia Spain was one of the best. The group was great, and the city manager Marina is so warm and welcoming. I haven't been to Barcelona or Madrid, but many people from the group took side trip and came back saying that they preferred the chiller vibe of Valencia.
All thanks to Omar Hernandez our Mexico City guide
Thrilled I visited Mexico City for the first time with Remote Year. Omar the city guide held high energy and brought in key friends to make sure we were all having the experience we came here for. I chose Remote Year because I wanted to experience a new city abroad with people who were “up to good things” and I got what I was asking for. I also chose to use their housing, which was perfect.
