Thank you Remote Year!!! The team was wonderful, the accommodations were great, and I really felt part of the city for a month. I loved wandering around with amazing sights around every corner, and it was great to know there were others I could meet up with for a drink or a meal if I felt like it. Keep up the amazing work!

If you’re on the fence about whether you should go — do it. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into, but wow, what a life changing experience. I loved that I could do my own thing or have a built in community — I did a bit of both. I truly got to live like a local and meet some awesome people along the way.
