GBFun 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.

DEFirst HP trip This was my first Hacker Paradise trip and it was a wonderful experience. I joined the Tokyo trip and I had a really great group which made the trip even better. There were activities planned every day so you always had the chance to meet up with people and explore something new. A big shoutout to our facilitators Juan and Sary. They did an amazing job organizing fun activities and meals which is a hard thing to do with a large group in Japan. I'd recommend Hacker Paradise to anyone thinking of trying out the digital nomad life or for those who are already living the lifestyle.

PTHP 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! ❤️

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.

DKCan’t recommend HP enough! ⭐️ I have done 4 Hacker Paradise trips during the last year. The have all been amazing and I’ve had the chance to meet a ton of new people working while traveling. HP has helped me experience many new locations in the world and makes it so easy to do so while working as well as having tons of social activities. All facilitators (Juan, Sarah and Marketa) from my previous trips have done a great job at making things run smoothly. I can’t recommend HP enough and I’ve already booked my next trip. I’ll definitely have many more trips to come in the future.
