With the rise of ubiquitous connectivity, people no longer need to be physically together to do great work. More companies add remote working options every day as they realize the benefits of opening their talent pool globally and getting better work results from happier employees. Millennials have shown that they prioritize experiences over ownership with the rapid rise of the sharing economy. Now unshackled from their desks, they are ready to give up the permanence of a home for the excitement of life on the road. These two sweeping cultural shifts have created Remote Year.

Remote Year Business Description Remote Year is a program where participants (Remotes) travel together on a journey, living in 12 different cities around the world. Throughout the year, they will continue progressing both personally and professionally while working in the communal workspace with diverse participants from 12 different countries as well as exploring the local community through cultural tours, speaking events and volunteer opportunities.
