Named after the Native American word from the Tongva tribe meaning "where mountain meets the sea" or "a place above," Remote Year Topanga will visit the vibrant cities of Split, Lisbon, Valencia and Cape Town. On this program you'll experience the culture of each and soak in the beautiful panoramic views of Lisbon's pretty pink hues against the 25 de Abril Bridge to the breathtaking mix of city, mountain, and sea from the top of Table Mountain. This 4-month program is not one to overlook.
