My 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!

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.

I 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.

First 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.

4.5 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!
