I recently joined Noma Collective for their Costa Rica Friendsgiving November 2023 edition, and it was an amazing experience. Noma's expert curation of the trip blended work, leisure, and cultural immersion seamlessly. The sense of community and connection I felt with fellow digital nomads was deeply enriching. This Costa Rica edition was more than just a trip, it was a journey of making new friendships and experiencing personal growth.

Months later and i still don't have the words to express all that my first noma trip (costa rica, '23) meant to me. i did noma on a whim with my sister - to see what it would be like to travel for a bit longer than a normal vacay, to explore how work and travel can integrate, and to meet new people my age. my humble goals were shattered upon arrival in costa rica. it was so much more than that. If you aren't sure about noma, i invite you to take the leap. at the very least you'll have a blast, and more likely than that - you'll feel more in tune with yourself & the things that matter most to you, and a renewed commitment to cultivating your life around the most invaluable things we have at our disposal

Before and after work we surfed, salsa danced, learned pickleball, played sand volleyball, joined in and cheered on local soccer games, hiked volcanos, relaxed in hot springs and watched almost every sunset together on the beach. What felt like adult summer camp in the best way turned 18 strangers into family, I can honestly say it was a life changing travel experience. What Noma does to set up experiences that build community is true magic. They do a great job curating all details, logistics and experiences so you are comfortable and set up for success the minute you arrive.
