People who believe that being in the right location with the right people can help you disconnect from the noise and reconnect with what matters - you and the people around you.

Mollie - RY Polaris Program

Chief Financial Officer

“Best experience of my life! Don’t wait to sign up for it, most of your hesitations aren’t even real issues that you’ll experience and if they are - remember, it’s an adventure! You will make some of the deepest friendships, share unforgettable experiences, and even grow professionally.”

Elayne - RY Shoshin Program

Author & Founder

“If you’re looking for a travel experience unlike anything else you’ve done before, this is it. It would make whatever you’re doing better: the business, your job. It gives you such an incredible perspective. My work has evolved just from this experience.”

Erin - RY Bourdain Program

Content Manager

“Every day I put my best foot forward, following a path without really knowing where it will lead, sometimes feeling lost, often feeling curious. But having these people by my side helps me realize that every step I take is a part of my story, a part of realizing who I am. The end goal is always worth the view. Lucky to get there with this group.”

Tasha - RY Kanyini Program

Analyst

“I remember the days I prayed for things I have now. While I still have a long way to go, I never thought I'd be working remotely and seeing the world at this stage in my life. I'm finally happy with where I am and where I am going."

Cynthia - RY Zenith Program

Diversity Consultant

“Remote Year is a platform that provides the basics to take you on an amazing journey. Recognizing your own personal limitations and learning to grow outside those limitations when you’re ready is the power of the platform. Along the way, you meet amazing people, have incredible experiences, and make new friends.”

Kelsey- RY Alba Program

Marketing Director

“I took a massive step outside my comfort zone. I'm a really introverted person, and meeting all the different, amazing people in the group gave me even more confidence to speak my truth and be 100% myself.”

Justin - RY Balboa Program

Freelance Animator

“I've spent the last year of my life living out a suitcase and traveling to over 20 countries with a group of 45 amazing individuals. I've made countless memories and gotten to see places I couldn't have even imagined. BUT, after a year of travel... I've realized that traveling is often not about the places. Traveling is about the people.”

Kelly - RY Cousteau Program

Associate Editor

“Remote Year took my entire life and turned it upside-down (in the best way). There’s no such thing as a “typical 9-to-5” here. Every day, I learned more about the world and its people. Every day brought something new. If I could rewind and live the whole thing again, I’d do it in a heartbeat.”
