During this year, everyone wants some form of consistency in every city. Something they can always do even when their world is turned upside down. Early on in the month, some people find their gym for the month, some their new favorite cafe to work in or some just like knowing where the closest ATM … Continue reading My favorite thing to do while traveling

The good side of Spain
Everyone wants to go to Spain. It was the country I was most excited to visit when I started Remote Year. It has great food, good weather and a long coastline stretching the Mediterranean.

To South Africa We Go
Remote Year has given me the unique opportunity to book trips on a whim and head to places I never dreamed of before this year. Since our program fee covers our travel between each country, I had a travel credit for our flight from Valencia, Spain to Buenos Aires, Argentina to begin our South American … Continue reading To South Africa We Go
Mokrin House- Serbian countryside bliss
When we arrive to each new city, we get a city preview from our local team that month. Each city has a local experience manager and local operations manager that help us integrate more into the city and give us tip and tricks to get by.

Was never in a fraternity but went Greek this week
We had been planning this trip since what felt like the very beginning. I believe it was early in Month 2 when a Remote suggested we should go to Greece in the middle of Month 4. It is hard to plan that far ahead while traveling day to day but I said I was in. … Continue reading Was never in a fraternity but went Greek this week
Throwing misconceptions out the window in Istanbul
This past weekend I took a side trip to Istanbul with three other Remotes. Istanbul is a city I would recommend everyone go to. Its tough with all the terror attacks there recently and I feel bad for the locals there as tourism has gone down as a result of this. As we have seen … Continue reading Throwing misconceptions out the window in Istanbul
I’m living where? The hidden gem of Sofia, Bulgaria
We've been living in Sofia for about three weeks now and its been a nice refreshing recharge so far. Going into Remote Year, I knew I would love my first three months traveling through Croatia, Czech Republic and Portugal but I wasn't sure how the next two would shape up in Bulgaria and Serbia. Before … Continue reading I’m living where? The hidden gem of Sofia, Bulgaria
Sunday Funday- a hike through Rila Lakes National Park

Everything from short … Continue reading Sunday Funday- a hike through Rila Lakes National Park
