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!

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!

GBCape Town, South Africa I have done only one trip with HP, but plan to do more. I traveled to Cape Town and arrived a few days before the Omicron outbreak. There was some concern among some of the group, but it was handled very professionally by the two administrators Taylor and Juan! A plan was put in place by the team and multiple outlets were provided to voice your thoughts/opinions/ideas. I could not commend them any higher on all they did for the group and they are a majority of the reason I felt safe during my time with HP and why I plan to go again. Otherwise, there was so much to do and wish I could have stayed twice as long to experience it all with the great people I met on the program. I would recommend to the company to keep a cap on the number of people allowed on a trip at one time. There were a lot of this trip and it was hard to coordinate time to experience and meet with some. I highly recommend anyone looking to travel remotely with others from all backgrounds to try a trip with HP.

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.

GBGreat for new and experienced nomads I've been a digital nomad for almost 8 years I'm varying capacity. It's so nice to have a group of like-minded folks around you when exploring someplace new, and HP provides that. They make sure you have the basics, a great group of people, and lots of opportunities to meet and interact, without being an organized tour. It's a great mix of Freedom with a "program." I highly recommend for both brand new and experienced nomads alike!
