RY is an excellent option!
I've used RY twice now (Medellรญn and Tirana) both we're great. I've been group traveling since 2018 but it was always vacation based travel. Now I work remotely and wanted to travel longer and work so I googled and found RY.
The concept is perfect because I can pick dates and locations that work for me and know that I'll have friends there when I arrive who are like minded.
