Noma Collective: Bocas del Toro, Panama 🏝🇵🇦

I found Noma Collective through an IG ad last year (I guess you could say Noma found me) and I had been wanting to travel but was worried about doing it on my own. I took the leap and registered for their first Lisbon edition in March 2024 and I’m SO happy I did. Approaching the end of 2024 and I’ve now been on the Barcelona edition and am headed to Pipa next month. The internal team consists of INCREDIBLY kind humans that have a love of travel, community, wellness and social impact which are four values of mine. Lisbon was my starting point of becoming a full time digital nomad and without them, I’m not sure I would’ve had the confidence to venture on my own but here we are eights months later still abroad. They make the experience seamless and proactively curate the trip to ensure you see all the hidden gems in each location. They are also very accommodating to adjust to each persons travel style and inclusive creating a comfortable atmosphere. Noma trips are some of the most fun experiences I’ve had in my life and you’re surrounded by a super encouraging community that knows how to work hard and play harder. I’ve made lots of connections and good friends that I’ve now traveled with outside of Noma and that wasn’t something I was expecting—very grateful that Noma creates a space for people to truly explore and do what they love. Highly recommend x10000 ❤️

Working remotely from Belize with Noma was a fantastic experience. The Noma team were brilliant—friendly, helpful, and quick to make everyone feel settled in. It was easy to get into a good work rhythm, and I ended up meeting some great people from all around the world. The atmosphere was laid-back but productive, with a real mix of interesting people from various backgrounds.
The weekends were amazing - trips to stunning islands nearby, volleyball, big group dinners etc. For anyone looking to work and travel, it’s a perfect balance – you get your work done, and there’s plenty to see and do outside of hours. Would definitely recommend it to anyone considering the same!

I can not begin to explain how amazing my experience with Noma was. It was transformative. Not only was the location, the people, the staff and the adventure world class, but it changed me. I became the person I wanted to be. The friendship continued as I begin to have the confidence in myself to travel and live the life that I wanted. So I wanted to give a big thanks to Dan, Calla, and the rest of the staff there. Truly appreciate all that ya'll have done for me. If you are on the fence of joining a group of like-minded people and having an experience that could change your life, then trust me when I say, just sign up and go...will be one of the best decisions you have made.

My time with Noma was wonderful. I left feeling full from experiences and new friendships. Thanks to everyone on the team for creating such a welcoming space.

I recently joined Noma Collective for their Costa Rica edition, and it was an amazing experience. Noma's expert curation of the trip blended work, leisure, and cultural immersion seamlessly.

The sense of community and connection I felt with fellow digital nomads was deeply enriching. This Costa Rica edition was more than just a trip, it was a journey of making new friendships and experiencing personal growth.

I highly recommend Noma Collective for anyone seeking a unique and fulfilling digital nomad experience. Look forward to my next adventure with this awesome community.
