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

An exiting adventure with great people I had an incredible experience on my trip to San Juan Del Sur with Hacker Paradise. The advisors were so organized, allowing our entire group to feel safe + comfortable throughout the whole trip. As a remote worker, one of the downfalls is that it can get lonely at times. On a HP trip, the team does a great job of organizing group activities every night that you can opt-in or opt-out of. This allows you to built true & deep connections with other individuals from across the world. Highly recommend, and will definitely be taking another trip.

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.

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.

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!

Cape 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.
