GBMy first trip with HP and it was .... amazing! Joined HP in Normandy in late October and had a blast. Remote working from a chateau in the French countryside was so magical, even despite the gloomy weather. Sary, our wonderful facilitator, really energized the group for our weekly lunches, engaging skillshares, fun weekend trips and social activities. My fellow travelers were a fascinating and diverse group I enjoyed sharing the adventure with tremendously. I felt lucky to have become a part of such a special community during my time with all of them. Needless to say I am already making plans to join more HP trips in 2024 and can't wait!

GBAntigua Guatemala with Hacker Paradise My month in Antigua Guatemala with Hacker Paradise was wonderful. HP had everything arranged including our beautiful accommodations and fun activities for the group like potlucks and evening outings. The facilitators were a huge support system; as Spanish speakers, experienced travelers, and just all around great humans. I will definitely travel again with Hacker Paradise because of the community, support, and sustainable lifestyle as a digital nomad.

GBCan't wait to go on another! I recently went on the France trip with HP. We stayed in a beautiful château in Normandy. This was my first trip to Europe and I was a little concerned about traveling to another country with a group of folks I'd never met before. Immediately I got a warm welcome from Sary, our wonderful community facilitator who made us all feel at home. As the month went on and I got to know the folks on the trip it was clear that HP has really built a community around remote work and curates great experiences for us all to get to know each other - from crêpe mornings on Sunday to the weekly shared lunches. I'm so happy I went on this magical trip and I can't wait to go on more!

GBHighly recommended! I've done 4 HP trips and can't wait for my fifth! They consistently put together a good group of people with a nice balance of programming. I always felt that I had plenty to do, while also having the time and freedom to work remotely and explore independently. I was a digital nomad for three years before trying my first HP trip, and it offers real value even for those who are experienced and comfortable with traveling on their own. Huge hats off to Juan the facilitator, he can handle any crisis and makes every trip a blast to be on.

GB4.5 stars for our time in Marrakech I wish I could give 4.5 stars. My girlfriend and I did the January chapter to Marrakech in Morocco and really enjoyed ourselves. The community of people was definitely the highlight, everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and we had a blast experiencing a new country together. The communal events and outings were always a good time. With the group, we explored the desert, local markets, and discovered so much of what this awesome country has to offer. The co-working space was great for our needs, clean, quiet, and had great coffee & snacks. It was only a 5-minute walk from our apartment which was very convenient. Our apartment was comfortable, spacious and had all the basics minus a few odd things like dish towels but the facilitators handled that. The only downside of the accommodation which was outside of the facilitator's control was the apartment manager turned out to be extremely rude and caused problems for a few people right at the end. We've been assured the company won't use that accommodation again but I wish the closeout of the trip had been handled a little more smoothly. The facilitators on trip were great, super nice people who did everything they could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Overall, I would definitely recommend Hacker Paradise to a friend or anyone curious about living abroad or trying out a nomadic lifestyle. It's a great way to get an introduction to a country with a built-in safety and group of like-minded people to explore with. It's nice to have everything set up for you and an instant community in a new place!
