My month in Floripa My month in Floripa, Brazil absolutely exceeded my expectations! The accommodations and workspace were modern and well-maintained. And everyone - from the City Manager, to the vendors, to the coworking members - was so welcoming and ensured you were having a positive experience. As a solo female traveler, ensuring safety ranks high on my list of priorities, and Remote Year provided complete peace of mind in that regard. If you're lucky enough to have the chance to live in Floripa, DO IT!

Remote Year is a wonderful opportunity to embrace new adventures 1st week’s introductory activities were great. It really helped me to orient/ generalize the city scape before really trying to explore and to maximize getting to know others. Pecha Kucha & Unconference helped me identify the individuals that I thought could help me on my career pivot journey; I was able to introduce myself and get the advice and help that I was seeking. Our city guide and city manager Flo & Nat worked really hard to ensure that we were treating our month or 4 month stay with integrity (I.e you dont have to engage in every event but do participate and learn along the way). I do appreciate the important time spent meeting real local people when we can and supporting their work.

Felt safe and comfortable in Medellin! Medellin was lovely, safe, and welcoming. I felt that all the places Remote Year and their vendors took me were safe. They provided clear and continuous guidance and recommendations, which were easy to follow and made me feel comfortable while exploring. I encourage perspective travelers to resist preconceived notions and stereotypes regarding Medellin and visit it with the same common sense and travelers' mentality as any other new city.

What are you waiting for? Book the trip! Remote Year is an amazing work travel company with a wonderful community. Having done multiple RY programs I'm continually impressed by the care and helpfulness of the staff that I interact with on a daily basis. The community of people on Remote Year make every bit of the experience. I always have such a good time on a Remote Year program. Cape Town is a city with such rich experiences that is not to be missed. The accommodations, workspace and activities are all top notch for Cape Town.

Great Community Lead and living… Great Community Lead and living location. Solid experiences but wish they were more affordable. Need to share full price estimates for traveling other places (eg flights and transport out-of-pocket). Wish there were more community-building activities that created more of a bond amongst travelers who didn’t partake in the experiences.
