So you're on a side trip and you sit down at a bar with some remotes and after a few minutes the two people next to you recognize you speak English so you began to chat. Like many conversations on the road they begin with where are you from and what are you doing here. … Continue reading A typical Remote Year conversation

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. So far, all the local team members have lived … Continue reading Mokrin House- Serbian countryside bliss
Budapest in 48 hours
July has been a wild month travel-wise. I moved to Serbia and got to enjoy the city for a week. Next, I was on a plane heading back to the states for 10 days.

Month 5 recap- Belgrade, Serbia
Belgrade, Serbia is where I'm spending my fifth month of Remote Year. This is the month of travel for most remotes, including myself.

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

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
One of my favorite things about Bulgaria so far is the amount of outdoor activities. The city has many parks and this month all Remotes get a sport card that gets you free access to many gyms across the city. Also, our tracks this month (activities RY sets up for the community. Everything from short … Continue reading Sunday Funday- a hike through Rila Lakes National Park
Portugal. a love story
We made it Portugal! Almost our whole group was relieved when we made it to the land of 75 and sunny, ocean views and pastel de nata. Even though many of us, including myself, loved Prague it was such a nice uptick going to nicer weather. For a guy from the south, there is only … Continue reading Portugal. a love story
Morocco- Camels, Riads and Fresh Threads
I've heard more and more about Morocco over the last few years and it seems to be a growing destination for tourists. Early on in our trip, the group decided we would take a side trip to Morocco while we were in Portugal since it was a short plane ride. To be honest, when I … Continue reading Morocco- Camels, Riads and Fresh Threads
