Couldn’t Recommend More

I just completed one month in Istanbul and it was the most incredible experience with a wonderful group of people! The staff went above and beyond for us with so much patience and positivity the whole way. The experiences were all amazing too.

Can’t Recommend Enough

I’ve traveled on five 1-month Trips with RY, and I can’t recommend their trips enough. I’ve made several lifelong friends through the trip and am excited to continue booking more RY trips in the future.

Worth The Cost

Istanbul is an incredible city and I highly recommend it. Ozz’s insights about Turkish culture and history greatly enhanced my experience. It was absolutely worth the cost to have the support and community through RY. This was my first RY trip and won’t be my last!

Something for Everyone

Remote Year’s magic lies in its ability to simplify travel. Precise planning and thoughtful curation let me immerse myself, free from logistical stress. Whether you’re a thrill seeker, nature lover, history buff, foodie, or adventurer, they cater to all.

Most Growth You’ll Experience

RY = 10 years of adventure and personal growth. What I learned has fundamentally reshaped my world view. By highlighting my own and other diverse perspectives, I hope more people see themselves as capable of international travel.

No Typical 9-5 Here

RY took my entire life and turned it upside-down in the best way. There’s no such thing as a “typical 9-to-5” here. Every day, I learned more about the world and people. If I could rewind and relive it again, I’d do it in a heartbeat.
