Throughout the last five years of running more than 70 different Remote Year programs, we’ve learned a lot about what it takes to go remote, how to make the lifestyle sustainable, how to build community and the personal and professional growth that comes from leaving your comfort zone. We’ve witnessed the authentic collaboration that comes from being surrounded by a diverse community and life shifts that materialize from finding inspiration in different places and connecting with people around the world. With Destinations, we are excited to share this experience with a new group of people who cannot join our 4, 6 or 12 month long Itinerary Programs. Destinations include all of the same inclusions and experiences as our itinerary programs: Private bedroom accommodation 24/7 access to a workspace Transportation upon arrival in your new Destination Curated and unique local adventures Community Initiatives to get to know the people traveling alongside you Support from local city teams and other traveling staff members We've selected our top rated countries and scheduled Destinations in the best season to visit. Our first Destinations in 2020 will go to: Colombia, Croatia, Japan and South Africa. We are exploring new ways we can use the Destinations platform to connect communities around a purpose and introduce some themed programs into our product mix. A few that have been requested by our community so far are: Creatives, Digital Nomad Families, Entrepreneurs, Positive Impact, personalized programs for companies, and many more! Would you join a Destination centered around a theme or community? Take the survey below and let us know in the comments if there is a theme or community you would like us to explore.

Finally 🙌 Love this and that one month has such a low barrier to entry!

@weissbro Exactly! This is a great way for people to get a taste of the digital nomad lifestyle or take a break from their day to day life for a burst of inspiration. Hope you join us on a Destination soon!

We could not be more excited to enable even more driven professionals to become a part of our community, the Remote Nation. Destinations enable you to experience the world while accelerating your career.

So stoked for this. I traveled on a 12-month RY program in 2018/19 and have since gone fully remote. Needless to say I'll be hopping on the Destinations train here. And by "here" I mean Croatia. :)
Jenna Winn
@matt_oney amazing Matt!! I’m sure the new remotes would love to meet you and hear about your experiences traveling and working for a year :)

I traveled with Remote Year in 2017 on a 12-month itinerary and have participated in over a dozen alumni events since. RY and the community that supports it is a hugely advantageous network of like-minded travelers, entrepreneurs, freelancers, full-time employees, and most importantly; family. RY didn't just change my life, it's given my life new purpose as I continue to travel the world on my own post-RY. If you've ever wanted to try out being a digital nomad but couldn't commit to the longer itineraries, this is a great way to give it a shot in a fully supported environment.

@hunter_pine Thanks for sharing Hunter!! We are so lucky to have you as part of the Remote Year community and your continued support and participation is much appreciated! See you somewhere in the world soon!! 🤗
Meredith Hart
This is incredible! Destinations will be a great option for those who are unable to commit to longer periods of time away from home. Really looking forward to this!
Jenna Winn
@meredith_hart Thanks Meredith! Hope you can join us on a Destination soon!
Ruslan Bakirov
Useful tool. Thanks!
Jenna Winn
@ruslan_bakirov1 Thanks Ruslan! Hope you join a Destination soon :)

It is so exciting to be alongside our first Destinations program launching on the ground currently and watching as this group experiences the best of Remote Year in one month! Meeting all of these participants reminds me of why we launched this product in the first place -- so that more people could experience working, traveling, and growing personally and professionally alongside an incredible community. It's one month, but we hope it becomes the first month of many to come!
Eduardo Tovar
I´ve met some people that said joining a remote year programme literally changed their lives, so that´s motivating! I would definitely join Destinations.
Jenna Winn
@lalolalolalo Thanks Eduardo! That’s amazing that you have met some people from the Remote Year community. We hope to meet you on a Destination soon :).
Rob Price
I’ve been waiting for this product for so many reasons!
Jenna Winn
@rob_price1 Thanks Rob!! We are excited too. Have any ideas for the future custom or themed Destinations :)
Leah Cabral
This seems like a great program for people who can’t leave for a whole year! Some theme ideas for the destinations are yoga, volunteering, citizen science, and sports.
Jenna Winn
@leah_cabral1 Love those ideas Leah! Hope you join us on a Destination soon :)
Reisy Abramof
Love the flexibility that Remote Year is offering to cater to everyone! those who wants to go work/travel for a entire year and now 1 month at a time!! Looking forward to this!
Jenna Winn
@reisy_abramof Thanks Reisy!! We have spoken to so many people that would be amazing members of the Remote Year community but they couldn't make our longer programs work. We hope Destinations solves that problem for people looking to join a work/travel program. Hope you join us on a Destination soon!
Jesse J Jarvis
Love this product idea, especially for building community all around the world! A meaningful trip with volunteering relief efforts included would be amazing considering the state of the world!
Jenna Winn
@jesse_j_jarvis Thanks for the idea Jesse! We already have local positive impact partnerships in all of our RY cities but it would be great to take it one level deeper with a program focused on volunteering and giving back.
Autumn Mishler
I’m currently traveling with the first Destinations and it’s exactly what I was looking for. Being unable to commit to the longer months, the one month was perfect for me and what I’ve been waiting for !! I’m positive I’ll be jumping on more one month trips in the future. 🥳
Jenna Winn
@autumn_mishler Yay! You are exactly who we developed this program for Autumn :) So glad to hear you are enjoying Cape Town. We are excited to have you as part of the Remote Year Nation!!

Having completed a full 12-month Remote Year (plus several months as a citizen), the seamlessness with which RY shows you how easy it can be to work remotely full-time inspired me to move from the US to Lisbon (one of the cities we lived in for a month) where I ended up buying a home and meeting the love of my life. To boot, the RY community is made up of spectacular people, and I’ve made dozens of friends for life all over the world. Couldn’t recommend more!!!!
