During a group lunch one day, our community manager, Travis, was prepping us for our time in La Paz. Our accommodations weren't going to be nearly as nice as in Buenos Aires, and he wanted us to have the right expectations. He proceeded to explain his own analogy about how there are 3 levels of fun, and he assured that if we had the right expectations, we would absolutely love La Paz and have lots of opportunities for "Level 3 fun"...

When spending a year living around the world, it's best to let go of all expectations and enjoy the ride. That including dealing with living arrangements. With Remote Year, you never know what your living situation will be like until the minute you walk in the door.

How did I end up here? The short answer is I discovered Remote Year in mid-December through my co-worker, Paige. When she informed our team at Hopscratch that she was accepted into a program that would allow her to work and travel the world for 12 months, the opportunity sounded too good to be true.
