Noma Collective (formerly Hacker Paradise)Reviews of hackerparadise.org

I've been on five trips with Noma (one after the HP merger) and have loved each and every one. The community mangers are fantastic and have great knowledge of the locations. Many people on the trips turn into life-long friends. The focus on community is where Noma shines. I love the connections made on trips during excursions and nights in. Accommodations vary a lot, but I've always enjoyed the places I've stayed each trip! Forever grateful for Noma helping me begin my nomadic journey!

This was my first HP trip, and it was an incredible experience. The location (Playa Grande in Guanacaste, Costa Rica) had some great chill beach vibes; accommodations were accurate to their description, and the group I traveled with was incredibly fun, incredibly diverse people. And the community facilitator (Sam) was very attentive. My concern going into this was that the group would be made up of a bunch of people who wanted to party all day, but that was not the case. During the workday everyone was very much focused on work but on the weekends we had lots of group adventures An intangible benefit of traveling with HP vs solo: a support network for when something unexpected happens. During the trip, someone's laptop charge broke... and within 15 minutes of posting it on Slack, they had two people offer an extra charge for the rest of the trip, a recommendation on where to buy a new one in Costa Rica, and an offer to get a ride to the store. This was my first HP trip, but won't be my last.

I have been on 3 trips with Hacker Paradise - Madeira of Portugal, Kilifi of Kenya, and San Pedro of Belize. I found them well-organized and well-balanced compared to other options. All the facilitators were fun while being professional and helpful. They prioritize things remote workers need to be productive. They were also proactive in researching and making our weekend adventures happen. The weekday programs were a great way for members to have the opportunity to connect daily. I have made friends with whom I will stay in touch!

I've been on five trips with Hacker's Paradise and plan to do more in the future. My most recent adventures were with Misa and Sari who are awesome. All of the facilitators have been fun, helpful and friendly. When I'm on trip, I'm super productive with work, and the trips are long enough to really get to explore, adventure, and get a feel for the local culture. Hacker's Paradise is a high energy way to see the world with a community of fellow travelers and remote workers. I find myself doing and seeing more than I would with solo travel. I highly recommend the experience!

My month in Antigua Guatemala with Hacker Paradise was wonderful. HP had everything arranged including our beautiful accommodations and fun activities for the group like potlucks and evening outings. The facilitators were a huge support system; as Spanish speakers, experienced travelers, and just all around great humans. I will definitely travel again with Hacker Paradise because of the community, support, and sustainable lifestyle as a digital nomad.

I had an incredible experience on my trip to San Juan Del Sur with Hacker Paradise. The advisors were so organized, allowing our entire group to feel safe + comfortable throughout the whole trip. As a remote worker, one of the downfalls is that it can get lonely at times. On a HP trip, the team does a great job of organizing group activities every night that you can opt-in or opt-out of. This allows you to built true & deep connections with other individuals from across the world. Highly recommend, and will definitely be taking another trip.

Facilitators did a great job onboarding and preparing us for our trip. Housing was amazing very spacious with perfect view. Lot of fun activities planned! Makes trip really easy with itineraries planned days ahead. Group was great lot of fun interesting people on trip. Would definitely do again. Worth it to have everything set up for you and the knowledge the facilitators have

This was my first HP experience and it exceed my expectations! Phuket was awesome - the accommodation was really high quality and the activities were so much fun. The other people were incredible and there was instantly a sense of community. The group connected straight away and I immediately felt at home there. There was always something happening, whether it was a meal, brunch, exploring a new place, or just chilling in the pool. At the same time, there was never any pressure for when you needed some downtime. The HP programme definitely really added to the experience as well - from group lunches and nights out to skill shares run by fellow nomads. The breadth of cool things the other people were doing was awesome - from software developers working remotely to freelancers, professional fencing athletes, individuals that had directed their own films and everything in between. This meant I came away with new perspectives and learned so much from the other travellers on the trip. Our facilitator, Sary, was amazing. She went above and beyond to ensure that everyone felt included as well as helping to resolve any issues and her endless energy and enthusiasm made the trip even better. Will definitely be booking another trip soon - only wished that I didn’t have to return home to a cold UK December, having spent a month with an infinity pool!
