I truly enjoyed my first (of many) trips with Remote Year in Valencia! I enjoyed discovering the history of the city, practicing my Spanish, wandering around the beautiful architecture & museums, as well as discovering multiple avenues to nurture my creativity. Valencia is a beautiful, magical place and I'm happy I had such a wonderful team to support & help me navigate my month there.
I never write reviews, but this time I had to. I did the 1 month Chiang Mai program. I was nervous at first to join this program because it costed money and I didn't know what kind of group I'd end up with. The group was beyond expectations - I could not have asked for a better group. The month went by so fast. Although you never know what to expect, I believe it takes a certain kind of personality to join Remote Year. Everyone in the group was incredibly fun and welcoming. A special shoutout to Miao our city leader who proactively volunteered to help us address our questions and concerns and Vita who worked around-the-clock to organize events outside of the marketplace and making the experience especially memorable! I highly recommend Chiang Mai :)
Ardit (Tirana) was an outstanding city leader personally meeting each guest upon arrival. Community events were outstanding, creative and inclusive. All calls and questions were resolved immediately. His love and by-the-way knowledge of Tirana is superb and delightful. Not sure how he gets it done with his laid-back personality and attitude, however he does. Thank you Ardit for a fantastic month in Tirana!
This was one of the top travel experiences I've ever had. I can't recommend it enough.
Split was never on my list of places to visit but I can definitely see why people come here. The weather is nice and the scenery is beautiful. Do yourself a favor and rent a car when you come here and take a road trip. It's truly breathtaking. Also, you can't come here and not get on a boat right?
Buenos Aires was my first experience with Remote Year, although I’ve long had my eye on the organization, and I can confidently say it won’t be my last. BsAs is a special place, and returning there with RY, and learning more about the nuances of the city through the beautifully guided experiences of the City Manager (Nacho), had me falling in love with the city all over again. It’s a layered city, and I appreciate the care that RY takes to ensure there’s opportunity to explore and understand it on a deeper level.
Cape Town is a great city, but what makes the trip stand out is the city manager. Natalie Christodoulou is outstanding. She’s really organized, gets everyone what they need, plans great community events/trips and is caring and fun! She really makes a great city even better.
This was my first RY 1-month experience and I had the pleasure of having Florencia (Flo) as my Community Leader. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, friendly, and overall amazing at what she does! Our trip was well organized before we even traveled to Croatia - with plenty of onboarding webinars and opportunities to connect with her and become familiar with RY. From my very first interaction to my last 1:1 with Flo, she showed me why she makes a great leader. Her kindness, openness, compassion, empathy, and ability to connect with people from all walks of life is the reason why our community vibed so well. I am impressed by how much work she did behind the scenes to organize community events, ensure that our local experiences run smoothly, incorporate our feedback during the trip, and overcommunicate details and logistics. She truly creates memorable experiences for the RY community and I'm so happy I get to know her!
I absolutely loved this program. Maria and Marina were so kind and helpful. Right from the start Molly and the whole team really made sure I felt comfortable traveling as a woman alone to live in a country I had never been to. The activities they planned were fun and inclusive. The office space and apartment they provided were more than adequate and everything was thought of. All of the people I met on the trip had the same goal - Discovery!!! So many individuals with their own stories and cultures to share. This was very special and I know I made some friends for life. I recommend this program to anyone wanting to get out there and explore but may want a community to do so with.
Cape Town is a great place to be and spend a few months. Natali made our stay very comfortable and entertaining.
Very fun location, all of the tours are well done + interesting, and Cata is amazing!! Medellin was a great month.
My month in Floripa, Brazil absolutely exceeded my expectations! The accommodations and workspace were modern and well-maintained. And everyone - from the City Manager, to the vendors, to the coworking members - was so welcoming and ensured you were having a positive experience. As a solo female traveler, ensuring safety ranks high on my list of priorities, and Remote Year provided complete peace of mind in that regard. If you're lucky enough to have the chance to live in Floripa, DO IT!
I loved remote year! I had already traveled with "ef ultimate break" and wanted a similar experience for a longer period of time. This is exactly what I got! I was happy to have my own time with also being able to have a community and fun activities with other remote workers. Your view of a trip can depend on the place you are staying and the people you are with, but as far as the city and community leaders, they are amazing and were able to answer any questions as well as creating a beautiful travel community. Highly recommend to try!
I love Remote Year and our city manager Cata was amazing! This was my first time in Colombia and it was everything I hoped it would be. Medellin is clean, beautiful, and felt completely safe. If you’re thinking of Colombia or doing Remote Year, this will be a great place to start.
I have truly had a wonderful experience here in Medellin, Santa Marta and the countryside. Before coming to visit this country, friends and family expressed fear in my coming because of their unfounded thoughts of danger. My experiences have truly dispelled those misconceptions. The people I have encountered throughout my stay have truly been very heartfelt, open and welcoming. By becoming friends with individuals, I have come to appreciate how one's culture has truly been trying to overcome aversity and social struggles by expressing their openness to accepting and welcoming others from around the world. I would truly recommend others to experience the richness and openess of such a beautiful spot in this portion of the world.
My month in Medellin was awesome. The city has so much to offer, Dancing (Salsa, Bachata), Bars, Museums, very goo restaurants and a lot of nature. I was also a person who heard a lot of bad news about safeness in Medellin, but it is not as bad as the news say. The city managerin Cata gives you all the informations where you can go and when you have to be a bit more careful. She is always there for you and will help you. In the area where Remote year stays you can easily walk around on your own during the day. I will definitly come back to Medellin. It was a beautiful month. And it is a vibe to live between mountains in a tropical area. Thanks for this month to the whole team in Medellin, especially Cata (City Managerin) and Omar (Community Leader), to made this an unforgettable month.
Medellin was lovely, safe, and welcoming. I felt that all the places Remote Year and their vendors took me were safe. They provided clear and continuous guidance and recommendations, which were easy to follow and made me feel comfortable while exploring. I encourage perspective travelers to resist preconceived notions and stereotypes regarding Medellin and visit it with the same common sense and travelers' mentality as any other new city.
My one-month experience with Remote Year in Buenos Aires was incredible! They created an amazing sense of community among the participants, planned wonderful events and activities, and made us feel at home. I will definitely do another RY experience!
Nacho, the city guide.
1st week’s introductory activities were great. It really helped me to orient/ generalize the city scape before really trying to explore and to maximize getting to know others. Pecha Kucha & Unconference helped me identify the individuals that I thought could help me on my career pivot journey; I was able to introduce myself and get the advice and help that I was seeking. Our city guide and city manager Flo & Nat worked really hard to ensure that we were treating our month or 4 month stay with integrity (I.e you dont have to engage in every event but do participate and learn along the way). I do appreciate the important time spent meeting real local people when we can and supporting their work.
