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! ❤️

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!

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.

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.

GBReally fun first HP trip to Tokyo I went on my first HP trip to Tokyo, and it far exceeded my expectations! We had a great group that balanced work with fun (a lot of it!). There was something happening every day, and people had such enthusiasm and excitement for doing things together. Also our facilitators, Juan and Sara, did a great job coordinating weekly activities (no small feat with a big group) and weekend trips. I'd highly recommend HP if you're looking to meet new people and explore a place together while working remotely.
