"Remote Year 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 its people. Every day brought something new: a conversation with a friendly local, bizarre cuisine, cozy workspace in a hidden cafe, skydiving trip before the workday started(!). If I could rewind and live the whole thing again, I’d do it in a heartbeat.”

Mollie - RY Polaris Program

Chief Financial Officer

“Best experience of my life! Don’t wait to sign up for it, most of your hesitations aren’t even real issues that you’ll experience and if they are - remember, it’s an adventure! You will make some of the deepest friendships, share unforgettable experiences, and even grow professionally.”

Elayne - RY Shoshin Program

Author & Founder

“If you’re looking for a travel experience unlike anything else you’ve done before, this is it. It would make whatever you’re doing better: the business, your job. It gives you such an incredible perspective. My work has evolved just from this experience.”

Erin - RY Bourdain Program

Content Manager

“Every day I put my best foot forward, following a path without really knowing where it will lead, sometimes feeling lost, often feeling curious. But having these people by my side helps me realize that every step I take is a part of my story, a part of realizing who I am. The end goal is always worth the view. Lucky to get there with this group.”

Tasha - RY Kanyini Program

Analyst

“I remember the days I prayed for things I have now. While I still have a long way to go, I never thought I'd be working remotely and seeing the world at this stage in my life. I'm finally happy with where I am and where I am going."

Cynthia - RY Zenith Program

Diversity Consultant

“Remote Year is a platform that provides the basics to take you on an amazing journey. Recognizing your own personal limitations and learning to grow outside those limitations when you’re ready is the power of the platform. Along the way, you meet amazing people, have incredible experiences, and make new friends.”

Kelsey- RY Alba Program

Marketing Director

“I took a massive step outside my comfort zone. I'm a really introverted person, and meeting all the different, amazing people in the group gave me even more confidence to speak my truth and be 100% myself.”

Justin - RY Balboa Program

Freelance Animator

“I've spent the last year of my life living out a suitcase and traveling to over 20 countries with a group of 45 amazing individuals. I've made countless memories and gotten to see places I couldn't have even imagined. BUT, after a year of travel... I've realized that traveling is often not about the places. Traveling is about the people.”

Kelly - RY Cousteau Program

Associate Editor

“Remote Year 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 its people. Every day brought something new. If I could rewind and live the whole thing again, I’d do it in a heartbeat.”

Chanel - RY Yugen Program

Director

“This is going to be one of the best cities on your itinerary. Even if it's your month 12 make sure you get out and explore. Eat all the tacos, drink all the mezcal margaritas, and don't wait till the end of the month to discover the deliciousness that is chicarron de queso.”

Denysha - RY Fernweh Program

HR Specialist

“I loved getting to know the City Team, getting a glimpse of what life is like living among RY Citizens, meeting RY staff, dancing at La Santa, investing in the community through community service, eating tacos, seeing mass quantities of dogs. I guess you can say I liked CDMX a little.”

Scott - RY Veritas Program

Consulting Engineer

“It's a beautiful city with beautiful weather and wonderful, engaging people. See as much of it as you can!?

Rob - RY Fernweh Program

Copywriter

“Mexico City is an awesome place with so many fun things to do and see - and the best food to eat. There were also loads of RY citizens in town, which can make it even more fun. I enjoyed going to the wrestling, pyramids, zoo, Chapultepec Park, and the Spanish lessons."

Olga- RY Veritas Program

Marketing Manager

“Enjoy everything the city had to offer! CDMX is so rich in history, culture and LIFE. Eat all the tacos, go to all the parks and venture outside the city for some fun day trips.”

Alondo - RY Battuta Program

Mobile App Developer

“I’ve been to places I never would’ve seen on my own because I decided to say “Yes” to RY and the experience to which the program/participants have invited me. I wouldn’t trade this for anything. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Life in a cubicle won’t cut it for me now!”

Meredith - RY Alba Program

Copywriter

“THIS CITY WILL SURPRISE + DELIGHT YOU! My friends + family were not super stoked on Colombia, and I think I let some of that get in my head before arriving (the history & former reputation). But this is one of the COOLEST places I've ever been, and I already can't wait to come back.”

Saunak - RY Sisu Program

Creative Director

“This was a great month overall. Loved this city and the experience was flawless. You will fall in love with this place before you even know it. Prepare to be amazed!”

Catrina - RY Bolivar Program

Marketing Consultant

“I enjoyed learning about coffee farming, taking salsa lessons, my spanish lessons, paragliding, hiking and swimming in waterfalls, ziplining across mountains, riding on top of a van through incredible scenery, jumping off the bridge into the water, befriending awesome locals, bonding with my fellow remotes, all while still managing to get work done.”

Kelly - RY Alba Program

Graphic Designer

“AMAZING!!! All of the RY staff in my life have been so great, friendly and beyond helpful. I have only started to expand my horizons and perspective! I have learned so much in one month from my fellow remotes. I have set goals higher than I thought I could because of this amazing community!”

Kelsey- RY Alba Program

Marketing Director

Chimdi - RY Curie Program

Director

“RY is like mainlining 10 years of adventure and personal growth. What I learned about myself and about the world has fundamentally reshaped my world view. By highlighting my own and other diverse perspectives in my videography, I am hopefully helping more people see themselves as capable of international travel.”
