About Hacker Paradise

Hacker Paradise is a community-based travel program, providing enriching experiences to an inclusive & diverse travel community of remote workers. We work hard and adventure far. Every month we call a different destination home: join us for a whole year, or travel month-by-month. We always opt for “the road less travelled”, bringing you unique shared experiences that you won’t find in the Lonely Planet. Our program includes high-quality accommodations and coworking spaces, engaging local events and workshops, and two on-the-ground facilitators to manage any potential issues. That means you can focus on what matters most: building the career you’ve always dreamed of as you travel the world. Flexible Trip-lengths | A Robust Program | Over 20 Destinations To Choose From

Fun trip, not sure value add was worth cost outside of the community The trip I had to Buenos Aires was amazing. Great city, lots to do, perfect location, even better group of people, but I’m not sure the community itself (the main pro of hacker) was work nearly 3000$. To explain, I didn’t really use any other features. The coworking didn’t have a lot of private space that was functional (too hot, booked, too small, etc) so most of the time I worked from our apartment. I didn’t get my moneys worth there but if you didn’t have meetings it would have been fine. Second. The apartment wasn’t very clean. It needed a through dusting, mopping, etc upon arrival and never felt that clean w our weekly cleanings. It was in a great neighborhood though. Third, facilitators and logistics. Other than the housing planning, didn’t feel like there was too much value add here. We did have a couple of cool events lined up (la bomba and some theater performance) that I liked. However there are better asado than the one we did and we had a less than stellar soccer game exp due to overselling that wasn’t the hosts fault. Those I talked to felt we could have been much better set up with money expectations. It was covered that you can send yourself money on WU and exchanges however a major point missed that I learned in a week is for BA bring as MUCH USD as you think you’ll spend. You’ll never get as close to the rate from WU but this was something we has to learn on our own even though the hosts have been there before. Also for the price we should also be picked up and taken to the airport, know our group events weekly ahead of the trip for our own planning, etc. If should have also been shared that BA is a VERY reserverion based city and if you went into the best restaurants , to see the opera, etc, you need to make reservations 1-2 months ahead. It felt very lower intern level logistics for a group of professionals who are working hard jobs and like to be on top of things. Lastly big group dinners didn’t happen as much due to Splitwise. The app is a pain in the butt to use and requires double entry on slack and the app. Most people preferred to just dine on small groups and pay cash to avoid the headache. Overall the community is amazing. I love the people I met. Would try another company to compare as prices have gone up since this trip. If it was cheaper, would do again. Wouldn’t recommend program only, because being in the same space is worth it, however if you’re just using the housing, it’s pricy.

My first but not my last trip with HP! This was my first trip with HP and it certainly won’t be my last! The trip in Palermo was very well organised from start to finish and the facilitators, Juan and Sara were amazing! Not only did the trip give me an insight into the digital nomad lifestyle, but it helped connect me with likeminded people, share adventures and build some life long friendships! I will definitely be recommending HP to my friends and cannot wait for my next trip with them in Cape Town! Thank you HP team :)

HP trip to Phuket I traveled to Phuket with HP, it was my first HP trip and it surpassed all my expectations! The group was definitely the highlight of this trip for me, from day one everyone was incredibly friendly, and we instantly connected. I couldn't think of better people to go on this trip with me 😊 Our facilitator, Sary, was great! Her support and enthusiasm made this trip unforgettable. I'm definitely looking forward to joining another HP trip with her as our facilitator. I can’t recommend HP enough and I can’t wait for my next trip with them! ❤️

Highly 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.

Blossoming in the sun The people really made it great. I felt so connected so quickly. Ah to luxuriate by an infinity pool talking nonsense with people really making a nomad life work. There were many opportunities to share who I was, both personally and professionally, and talk about what kind of life I wanted to create for myself as an aspiring performer. I came away with new perspectives, inspiration, growth and renewed self-confidence.
