I learned a ton of new skills, and actually got a bunch of work done.
I met one of my best friends ever, and also met my girlfriend (who is wonderful) from going on Remote Year. I learned a ton of new skills, and actually got a bunch of work done. Before Remote Year, I was a digital nomad, but I lacked structure.
