Lima 🇵🇪

This month was my first time traveling outside of the country for longer than a weekend on a resort, and I was so greatful for the gentle guidance that was provided not just by Amanda and JD, but by the community of support that Amanda has worked to build into Moksha. I always felt like I had a place to go for questions, and a safety net of savy individuals to back me up when I didn't think to ask questions. I came in for one month to a group of people where many were on their 11th, and was welcomed in even though circles where already ready tight knit. JD provided a genuine enthusiasm that helped me fall in love with Peru, and recommendations for restaurants that never disappointed! My experience with remote year, even though brief by most comparisons, has been an unforgettable and transformitive experience!

Our month in Lima with Remote Year was one of the best months of our lives. We’ll never forget the incredible, diverse landscapes we experienced on our awesome weekend adventures, nor all the people we met along the way. Highly highly highly recommend!

Oh what can I say about my samba 4 month journey led by our community leader Thiago.
I did july-oct Latin America program (CDMX, Colombia, Peru and Brazil). The highlight of the program was Thiago who was the best person to lead the program. He was genuine and took utmost care of us. The program would not have been same without him and we ended up as a life long friend (I hope he feels same😅).
I would definitely join another program in a heartbeat led by Thiago.

Wow, where do I even start? My 4 months in LATAM with Remote Year were an absolute blast. I got to explore Lima, Medellin, Antigua and Mexico City and that’s not even the best part…

The most amazing part of this journey has been connecting with incredible people. The relationships we've built go beyond just friendships – they're like unbreakable threads that have woven us together across different cultures. Each person has brought a special touch to my experience, leaving a trail of lasting memories in my heart. MORENO FOR LIFE!

And speaking of Morenos, let me give a shoutout to Omar, our community leader - an absolute ROCK STAR! His personality radiates thoughtfulness and fun, making every step of the journey even more special. Omar's knack for bringing people together, his genuine care for each member of our group, and his unwavering enthusiasm have truly elevated the experience. From organizing incredible excursions to creating opportunities for us to connect on a deeper level, Omar made every moment unforgettable. He's not just a leader; he's a friend and an integral part of the memories I now hold dear.

Remote Year's magic lies in its ability to simplify travel. Precise planning and thoughtful curation let me immerse myself, free from logistical stress. With something for everyone, whether a thrill seeker, nature lover, history buff, foodie, or adventurer, they cater to all.

What sets Remote Year apart is its community spirit. More than travelers, we're a family united by a shared passion for exploration and connection. These bonds surpass borders and time, creating a network I'm honored to belong to forever.

So thank you Remote Year for my newfound tramily (borrowed this from Gert) and all these unforgettable moments!

I had an amazing experience from start to finish. The program was a great blend of both cultural experiences in Lima as well as adventures out side of the city. The Lima team did a great job of welcoming us to the city and Peru as a whole. Definitely recommend this to everyone.

As my first RY program, I didn't have many expectations about what my month in Peru would look like. But even in my wildest dreams, I would have never predicted the magic that was my experience in Peru!

Ari + Fran were incredible leaders for our group and curated the most well rounded, exciting, and meaningful month for us. Ari was amazing at spreading positive energy, organizing events that were tailored to the interests we expressed, and fostering strong relationships within the group that allowed us to build a strong bond. Fran was extremely thoughtful in selecting experiences in the city (and in our weekend excursions) that maximized on the wide variety of activities Peru has to offer. The stories Fran shared gave us a unique perspective on the country that made each location we visited unforgettable.

Throughout the month, we traveled through every climate and landscape you can imagine. Between the natural beauty of the Amazon Jungle, to the breathtaking sunsets of the desert, to the larger than life views in Andes mountains -- every weekend had something brand new to offer. There were also plenty of opportunities to ignite your inner adrenaline junkie on each weekend getaway, which was a surprise I was extra pumped about!

To wrap it up, if you crave adventure & variety, great food & great people, Peru is the right place for you!

Lima 🇵🇪 Osaka 🇯🇵

I loved my time in Osaka, but the the Remote Year Osaka Program does need a bit of rehab. I joined the 1-Month Osaka Remote Journey. The accommodations were comfy and suitable for 1 person. I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of room I had. The City Team was knowledgeable and very chill. They set a great atmosphere for the group to gel together.

That being said there are parts of the program that need work. I was incorrectly invoiced for the trip, this was corrected after 48 hours. Prior to joining the program onboarding was also disjoined and not very seamless. The Add-Ons that we needed to purchase for the trip should have been accessible 30 days prior to the arrival date. But in this instance I received them about a week in advance of the arrival date which made planning for the month long trip rather stressful.

My time in Osaka was fun, and I am grateful for the group that I was with. The group can definitely make or break the experience.

Overall it was enjoyable. My group consisted of 1-month and 4-month remotes which did not mingle together as often as my previous Remote Year Lima group of only 1-Month Remotes, but when we were together the group was relatively cohesive. The events were nice, but not always fully thought out. No snacks will be provided on your day trips, so plan ahead.

Ground transportation during the one month stay is not included, though this is listed as part of what your fee covers. The only transportation which is covered is transport from the airport to the Remote Year accommodation (If you choose your own accommodation for the month you will need to cover that cost). You will need to cover the cost of transportation back to the airport at the end of your 1 Month Journey.

I would recommend this journey for experienced travelers interested in visiting Osaka, but be aware it does have some procedural flaws making the experience a bit uncomfortable at times.

Thank you for your review of the month, it’s great to know that despite some challenges, you loved your time in Osaka, and the Ry accommodation and team delivered what we would expect.

Because this was our first month back in Osaka, and with a new team, we experienced some unexpected delays in making sure the experience marketplace was ready, and we truly apologize for this. Thankfully this was a one off and we are back on track, having this ready good time for future months.

We’ll review your experience as part of the Onboarding too, to see where improvements could be made.

We hope it is clear on our site that everywhere we talk about transport that arrival transfer is included for those who book Remote Year Accommodation, but return transfer is not. This is the same for when refreshments are or are not included in certain experiences. We value the feedback, and your thoughts have been passed on to the Osaka and website team so we can look into if we can make these any more clear to save future confusion.

Thank you again for traveling with us and for giving us these details. Hopefully Osaka wasn’t your last stop!

My RY trip in Peru was an incredible experience with phenomenal trips available every weekend and experiences throughout the week. I felt I got to see so much of Peru this way and had one of the best months of my life. Wish I could live this month on repeat.

Lima was the most jam packed month I’ve had with RY. Each weekend experience is as amazing as the one before. The city is a foodie’s paradise and it is very affordable. Ari and Fran make Lima feel like home. Don’t hesitate to sign up for Lima and all its experiences!

Amazing month in Peru. This was one of the best months if my life! All the trips were unreal. We went to the jungle, desert, beach, mountains, and saw one of the Wonders of the world in one month while eating some of the best food in the world! Highly recommend!
