Spend a Month or Make it a Year of World Travel: Remote Year Expands into Kenya, Albania, Brazil and Canada with New Trips for Digital Nomads

*Community-focused travel program also relaunches in Morocco*

*NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2023* / For those leaning into the "work from anywhere" lifestyle (projected to reach 1 billion people by 2025), Remote Year has expanded its global footprint to new destinations. Renowned for organizing community-based work and travel trips around the world, its new destinations include *Nairobi, Kenya*; *Tirana, Albania*; *Florianopolis, Brazil* and *Montreal, Canada*. Remote Year is also coming back to *Marrakech, Morocco*, a popular destination program previously put on hold by the pandemic.

Remote Year sets up remote work professionals with a community and takes care of the logistics in new destinations, mitigating the stress and uncertainty often present in a new location. Trips are one-, four- and 12-months in length including centrally located accommodations, dedicated workspaces available around-the-clock, culturally enriching group experiences, and the support of local community leaders to ensure everything is ready and available for any professional working from a new location. The Remote Year experience is a mix of work and pleasure, with travelers bringing their jobs on the road. The shared group outings help travelers make connections and tap into local culture outside of work.

How does Remote Year choose locations? "We are thoughtfully expanding our footprint to places around the world where travelers can have an enriching personal experience and a productive work experience," said Tue Le, newly appointed CEO of Remote Year, who is also a seasoned digital nomad. "As we enter new markets, it's imperative that we work closely with our host communities to build an ecosystem that will attract and support remote workers as well as benefit local businesses. We were happy to see strong demand for previously successful programs, like that in Marrakech, which has prompted an exciting return to the Red City."
