Remote Year | About

In August 2014, two friends dreamed of exploring the world while building their careers. They shared the belief that great work can be done from anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection, and that people are most creative and productive when they’re inspired by their surroundings.

They created a website posing a simple question: “Who wants to travel together for a year while working remotely?”

On the first day, more than 1,000 people signed up. Since then, Remote Year has helped over a thousand people take their career to the next level while traveling the world.
