I have gone on 3 trips with Noma (Belize, Panama, and Argentina) and highly recommend traveling with them if working remotely! The community managers have extensive knowledge of the areas to provide a well-rounded and local experience. They conveniently plan activities around working hours and often have group dinners after work. The activities apply to a wide range of interests: salsa dance lessons, beach trips, hikes to ancient ruins, local cooking classes, wine tastings, yoga, surfing, and more.

I have now done two trips with Noma and both were overall great experiences. I really connected with the people in my programs and felt like I belonged to a community. The staff are incredible and go above and beyond to make sure you have a good experience. The value for your money is so much better than other companies and the smaller group size is great for really getting to know people.

First, you don't have to travel alone, and the sense of community you feel with your fellow Noma-ds makes all the difference; I spent three weeks making the best memories with the best people. Second, Noma's Community Managers do an exceptional job of putting together a varied activity calendar. There are truly no cons to traveling with Noma, and I will definitely be booking a future edition!
