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!

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!

GBAll the fun of traveling, with none of the fuss! Hacker Paradise was such a great way to get out and explore a new place. It was awesome having logistics and social network already set and ready to go, so that I could focus on having fun. The facilitators who were on my trip, Tayler and Dee, clearly went above and beyond to make sure the trip and events went smoothly. I'll be joining again in just a couple months and couldn't be more excited!

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.

ESI went with HP into a trip in Phuket I went with HP into a trip in Phuket, Thailand and I really loved the experience. Most of the group was extremely friendly and the accommodation was amazing (with great infinity pool). The only inconvenients were that the co-working place was a bit crowded with not enough meeting rooms.
