“I’ve been looking for a way to continue my career in UX Design and pursue traveling which is near and dear to my heart. After researching remote work options I stumbled upon We Roam and I’m so glad that I did. We Roam was the most appealing to me for a variety of reasons. The thoughtful itinerary, group size and focus on providing a reliable work environment was the perfect package. So far this trip has exceeded my expectations in every way and I’m thrilled to be a part of this group of like-minded individuals!”

“Choosing We Roam has definitely proved to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. Their team does an excellent job at balancing professional development and cultural experiences, as well as providing seamless travel logistics. Normally when you walk into a room full of strangers, you have to figure out who’s legitimate and who isn’t. I chose We Roam over the other similar programs because they stressed that everyone on the trip would be vetted professionals, and they meant it. Being surrounded by a group of successful entrepreneurs and like-minded workers helps push me to stay focused and productive.”

“I knew from minutes into my interview with We Roam, I would be on the next jet plane to Buenos Aires. The feeling of alignment was overwhelming and I hadn’t felt that when corresponding with other similar companies. I could feel the company’s passion, organization and commitment to excellence from the moment I was in. Now on the streets of Argentina, my expectations have quickly been surpassed as I get to mingle with a witty, diverse and adventurous group of working professionals, including the WR team! My spacious studio apartment and the hip co-working space make this dream even sweeter. Any nomadic spirit, passionate about their virtual-work and seeing the world would thrive in this community! Super stoked to be a Roamer while running a solar company in California, is this real life?”

“I considered many travel/work programs prior to joining We Roam. Having lived in New York for five years, it was important for me to continue to be around insanely motivated individuals and maintain discipline in my career from a digital post. I immediately sensed the company’s dedication to curating a group of the highest-caliber professionals and adventurers alike. Upon arrival, We Roam exceeded all expectations as far as quality accommodations, workspace, and social events. The program is composed of roamers with such different backgrounds, yet we’re linked by similar levels of maturity and spontaneity. It’s kicked off to be a fantastic year and I look forward to lifelong memories and friendships. I’m so glad that I found We Roam as our goals continue to align!”

“I discovered We Roam at a time when I was feeling an overwhelming sense of complacency in both my personal and professional lives. My job at the time had little room for advancement, and I’d been longing to travel more. For me, joining We Roam meant quitting that job and entering the world of self employment, not to mention giving up my charming apartment and putting my belongings in storage. It’s all been worth it. I never worried about details like who the other Roamers would be or where exactly we’d be living in each city. I was seeking growth experiences in all facets of my life, and each day offers just that: new opportunities to learn about myself and the countries, cultures, and people who welcome us into their lives.”

“I love what I do, and I wasn’t about to join a trip that could negatively affect my future with the Warriors. We Roam enables busy professionals to maintain (and even increase) their productivity levels. That’s the We Roam difference. Their dedicated team helped bring my company around to the idea of remote work, even going so far as to hop on a call with my VP to assure him that I’d be taken care of at every stop. More importantly, when it came time to finally head out on the trip, they delivered on every level. They worked hard to ensure that our trip is comprised of a great group of people that fast became friends. Their best-in-class itineraries ensure that you’ll be exploring places that you’ve always wanted to visit, while doing so at the ideal time of year for each respective destination. They get all the small things right too, providing amazing living accommodations, workspaces, and events along the way. I didn’t want to settle for short winter days in the wrong places at the wrong times, so I joined We Roam and now I’m chasing summer year round.”

“I want to explore, experience and be amazed. Traveling would be the best way to achieve that, but I just started my own company in Holland and wasn’t even able to go on a holiday for a week. Luckily Facebook knew what I needed and they showed me an add for a remote working program. A ‘workation’ would be perfect for me if I would still be able to properly focus on my business. After doing some research, I interviewed with We Roam. They offered an amazing itinerary and emphasized on the ‘professional working’ aspect of the program. I took a leap of faith and it turned out to be one of the best decisions in my life.”

“We Roam has been an amazing experience. It is such an incredible way to travel and see the world with an awesome group of people. One of my biggest fears before joining was, who will I be traveling with for the next year? But We Roam has done a fantastic job of bringing together a diverse and quality group of people. Everyone brings something different to the group, and I never realized so many people from so many backgrounds would be able to travel like this for a year. There are people from all over the world as well as all different work experiences. It is really cool to get to know all these people and have the opportunity to do so in such incredible places.”

“After what I would consider a strange and not-so-great 2016, I realized I needed to make big changes in my life. Striking a balance between developing my professional and personal life has always been important to me and We Roam helps foster that growth. They’ve managed to make traveling while working easy and stress-free so I can focus all my efforts on collaborating with my team back home during the day and finding someone who can teach me how to Dougie during off hours. If there’s one program that could help you realize your dreams of making a startup go big all the while showing up in Craigslist missed connections across the world, We Roam is it.”

“We Roam was the perfect choice for me, as it provided a high level of professional development while bringing together a very smart group of collective individuals. This program gave me a chance to shift my business online, something I wanted to do for years. The We Roam team puts together a tireless itinerary that provides everyone a chance to participate in various social and professional development events. I would have no hesitation to recommend the program to any other potential digital nomad, who is looking to work and travel around the world.”

“It was the right time to take a leap of faith and let go of the way I assumed life to be; boxed in a zip code, in a mundane routine of stability and comfort. I accidentally stumbled on remote work programs and We Roam stood out to me for its focus on professional growth and development. Everything aligned after that – I left the corporate world I knew and was very comfortable in to start my own LLC and travel the world with like-minded individuals. We Roam is not just another travel program, it is a place where passionate individuals can grow, collaborate and be inspired, and I couldn’t be surrounded by a better group of Roamers! So grateful for this journey and the adventures ahead!”

“Before traveling with We Roam I always traveled the world by myself. The people I traveled with before these solo trips didn’t work remotely, so when I needed to open my laptop to grind, they didn’t understand. Why are you working on vacation? they would ask. I would tell them that work and vacation are not parallels. For me they intersect. Still, they didn’t understand. We Roam completely changed my feeling about traveling with other people though. Because everyone traveling with We Roam does work they’re passionate about, we’re all on the same page. On a near whim we can travel from, say, Buenos Aires to Mendoza for the weekend. We can work by the pool, our legs in the sun, surrounded by the snowcapped Andes, and then easily transition to sharing a bottle (or three) of wine. Sure, you can travel by yourself or with other people, but I’ll take traveling with Roamers any day.”
