Remote Year is a wonderful opportunity to embrace new adventures 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.

Remote Year Offers Independent Travel with a Community 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.

Community is top notch, the safety is the worst The organization of events is well done, I got good experiences at the cities visited. The community is amazing, and the most valuable out of these programs; one gets to meet truly exceptional people. The security the program provides is very poor. I got a large amount of money stolen from what was supposed to be a safe and secure accommodation, chosen and booked by Remote Year. RY did not provide clear solutions, stating that "this isn’t something that Remote Year can just repay (in cash or credit) since they do not know exactly what happened". RY did not try to investigate my case any further, I'm still at loss of money that directly impacts my ability to keep traveling.

My one-month experience with Remote… 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!

Cape Town is a great place to be and… Cape Town is a great place to be and spend a few months. Natali made our stay very comfortable and entertaining.
