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

Travelling with Hacker Paradise was awesome! Travelling with Hacker Paradise was awesome! I signed up for their Kenya and South Africa trips this past year, and they were amazing! The facilitators Juan, Sara, Sam, and Isabelle made it an unforgettable experience with an awesome crew! I'll be doing many more trips with them in the future!

Looking forward to my next trip with them! I had an amazing experience with Hacker Paradise. Sharing with a multi-culturally diverse group of nomads makes you grow and learn so much. The places they choose for their chapters and shared experiences are unique and fun! Juan & Sam have been the best facilitators ever! They really make a difference! The energy they transmit helps build a sense of community, and they are always available to help you. Hoping to have them as my facilitators again on my next trip. All in all, I cannot wait for my next HP trip in June :)

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.

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.

Antigua 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.
