Welcome to Antigua. Your new home from the month is a UNESCO World Heritage City.
The best part about this quaint city? Well, besides the beautiful buildings, amazing cuisine, and out-of-this-world coffee? Walkability. Your home for the month is situated in downtown Antigua, next to all the best cafes, restaurants, and bars in town. With pleasant plazas and delightful discoveries around every corner, you might not ever want to leave.
I wish I could keep traveling with them!
Antigua was an amazing experience! The side trips were unforgettable - like the day we spent with the Gonzalez family at their coffee farm - Josh created opportunities to connect across cultures and fall in love with his country. All the Remote Year staff worked hard to create community, make sure we had what we needed, and forge lifelong bonds in the group. I wish I could keep traveling with them!
