As an Executive Assistant, the co-working spaces worked well for me and helped me create a routine. The Remote Year staff was on point, and every single person brought a special element to my life and completely made my experience. Because of my experiences with Remote Year, I became a different and improved version of myself.

I met one of my best friends ever, and also met my girlfriend (who is wonderful) from going on Remote Year. I learned a ton of new skills, and actually got a bunch of work done. Before Remote Year, I was a digital nomad, but I lacked structure.
