Work Remote And
Travel The World
Redefine your 9-5 (and everything else too)
Love your job? Bring it on the road. Hate your job? Go freelance and join us.
Got an app idea that’s going to break the internet? Start now. Waiting to write that scifi erotica masterpiece? YASSS, kween.
Our remote work expeditions are designed to help you live your purpose, with plenty of banter, beaches and besties along the way.
We spent a month in gorgeous Lesvos, Greece, with tons of activities, massive work productivity, exploring the island, working out, eating and drinking, and basically having a blast while also being super productive. The facilitators all do an excellent job and I can't wait to rejoin HP for more trips!!!"
There was always something fun to do and there was always someone to work with. It was life changing for me to have joined the program. I can't wait till next time!"
There is no wonder nearly every participant I've met has plans to return to the program. Lifelong friendships are created, professional connections made, and personal growth expanded. If you are curious about a digital nomad lifestyle, or simply want to experience a new city with a community already at your fingertips, there is not a better choice than Hacker Paradise."

Who Travels With Hacker Paradise?
Be the jelly to our peanut butter.
Our people are enthusiastic. Curious. Progressive. Inventive. Adventurous. Geeky.
We’re the makers, the experimenters, the creatives, the disruptors, the we’ll-figure-it-out-along-the-wayers.
HP is a consciously diverse, global community united by the same passion and ethos, rather than by industry.
We’re pro-equality, pro-love, pro-kindness, pro-inclusivity.
Want to meet a SpaceX engineer? We’ve got one.
Want to meet a sex toy creator? We’ve got one of those, too.
Wondering if there’s someone out there in the world who writes poetry in ancient languages, user-tests websites while tipsy, and has a YouTube channel dedicated to cooking and philosophy? Look no further than our HP alumni.
The point is there’s no one type of person who joins HP, but we do have a few traits in common.
One is enthusiasm – for immersing ourselves into a project, boosting our career or embarking on something new.
Another trait all HP-ers share is curiosity – for different environments, perspectives, and cultures.
We take time to make sure our participants are a good fit for our community and our values.
Why? We think it makes for a more supportive and cohesive crew and trip. That’s not to say everyone’s the same – quite the opposite!
HP is for you if
- You want to be part of something, not sit on the side lines.
- You want to challenge yourself, even if it scares you.
- You want to create cool stuff, not just be part of the old study > work > mortgage system.
- You believe the world is changing, and that you can be part of the change.
It’s also probably for you if you
- Became an HTML and ukulele aficionado simply through the power of the interwebz.
- “Hypothetically” jailbroke your Dad’s ipad to “hypothetically” try out some cool third-party developer apps.
- Waited in line for the latest sci-fi movie release in a costume it took you three weeks and three hundred dollars to craft.
The HP Archetypes
We find that most people who join HP fall into certain categories. Of course, you don’t have to fit into one of these! If you’re an astronaut with a side hustle, or a snake handler with an app to build: we’re here for you too.
Experienced Remote Worker
A lot of HP-ers fall in the bucket of full or part-time remote workers that have traveled extensively on their own. HP allows the remote worker to take a break from solo travel to let someone else deal with the wifi issues.
How we can support you:
- established remote community
- logistical support
- professional development & workshops
The Nomad Newbie
Going remote can be a lot easier than it may appear, and HP can help with a multitude of potential barriers – from structuring the conversation with your employer, handling logistics, and always being ready with a cup of tea (or glass of wine).
How we can support you:
- donuts and wine
- onboarding
- hugs from a super-supportive community
- employer support
Entrepreneur or Freelancer
Working on a big biz dream? Crafting a consulting career? A lot of HP-ers are doing the same! This ambition and drive to BYOB (be your own boss) are common traits in the HP community, and we think the supportive nature of our crew is the best part of the remote work lifestyle.
How we can support you:
- solid community
- peer network
- professional advice
- water cooler talk
The One On Sabbatical
On sabbatical from a job and ready to dive into passion project, new idea, or begin that novel? Working on a PhD or research project? We know sitting in your living room or at that same desk in the library is just not going to cut it. Going remote can provide a huge amount of energy, drive and inspiration. Finish your project and have rad travel experiences at the same time.
How we can support you:
- inclusive community
- focused work environment
- new adventures and inspiration
The One in Transition
We get it – starting over is difficult. Taking the leap to start the career of your dreams takes a lot of courage and work to get going. Instead of sitting at home in your PJs trying to plan your next move as you watch late night infomercials, use HP as a springboard to jump start your new idea and build a global network.
How we can support you:
- hugs/super-supportive community
- focused work environment
- professional development and workshops
The Company, Team, or Group
You’re in it together – whether you’re part of a remote team or you’re coming on trip with your partner and kids, or perhaps you’re two friends about to embark on a mega-app-building spree. We love having groups on trip, and we’re happy to work with you to accommodate your specific needs.
How we can support you:
- lots of flexibility
- accommodation support
- broader community
- group discount
What We Provide
We take care of the logistics so you can focus on the good stuff.
Comfy Coliving Accommodation
Stay in comfort with private rooms co-located with your fellow HP-ers. Cool local neighbourhood and wifi are guaranteed, plus you’ll be located close to cafes, gyms, parks, bars, transport, grocery stores, etc.
Productivity-Ready Coworking Space
We find great coworking spaces in some of the world’s best locations with speedy wifi, flexible hours, and an active community of digital nomads and local entrepreneurs.
Hand-Selected Community
We take time to make sure the people who join HP are the right fit for our community and match with our ethos of collaboration, adventure and inclusiveness.
Themed Travel Experiences
Our trip themes offer you unique programs and boutique experiences you won’t get anywhere else. Discover more, broaden your horizons and get started building a global network.
Professional & Personal Development
Grow on trip with our robust program of personal and professional development. Upscale your biz, reframe your career path, and maybe even change the world.
Bucket List & Off-the-Beaten-Track
Tick off the travel highlights and discover off-the-beaten-track gems. We combine the bucket list items with immersive adventures to help you explore the way you want.
Kick-Ass Full-Time Facilitators
Troubleshooting, rose-drinking, karaoke-singing, all-round superheroes, our kick-ass support staff are destined to become your new BFFs. Your source of insider knowledge on every trip, they research, organize and plan so you aren’t bogged down with the logistics.
Continuous Wifi Connection
We’ll set you up with a SIM on arrival so you’ll never be without wifi – because we know you’ve sometimes just gotta upload your IG photos beachside/poolside/on-the-mountainside. Or call your mom.
HP for Life
Even when you leave the HP trip, the journey isn’t over. Our alumni community is super-active (hyperactive?): post-trip you’ll get access to exclusive travel meetups, alumni deals, job boards and more. Some might say it’s better than Tinder. We wouldn’t argue.
Employer Support & Assistance
Are you super-keen to join, but not sure how to take your career remote? We provide support, advice and resources to help you speak to your boss or team about taking your job on the road.

A Week in the HP Life
Work. Adventure. Chill. Repeat.
We often get asked what a typical week is like at Hacker Paradise. The short answer is there is no typical week.
Instead of working from a cubicle, you’ll be working from a posh coworking space or a Hello Kitty café.
Instead of feeding your dog, you’ll be thigh-deep in a river washing an elephant or hand-feeding monkeys in the middle of the jungle.
Instead of trying not to look at Frank from accounting as he picks spinach out of his teeth, you’ll be sipping macchiatos with new buddies in a chic European rooftop café, or climbing a mountain with your HP fam to see the sunrise
No week with HP will ever be the same, but each week will offer a varied combination of experiences and programs curated by us and co-created with you.
Not Your Typical Week
Work Time
What makes our program stand out? The fact that our participants are hard working, focused, and know how to manage their time.
Workshops
We teach you what we know (graphic design, how to nomad, digital marketing) and you teach us in return (robots, hot sauce recipes, how to make a cosplay costume).
Personal & Social Time
Head out for informal adventures or enjoy some chill time. Even when traveling the world, we all need the occasional night in to relax and watch Netflix.
Theme Based Programs
Each trip delivers experiences designed to give you exclusive access to cool new things unique to the destination. HP themes give you the chance to get involved in the local scene in an authentic way and make exciting new connections.
Professional & Personal Development
Whether you’re focused on developing your career, or getting clear on your personal goals, these programs have always been super-important for us at HP. We keep it casual, but impactful.
Cultural & Travel Adventures
From the must-see attractions to immersive local experiences, you’ll get to experience the unique culture and sights no matter where you choose to go. Get that camera ready.
Membership & Pricing
Choose your own adventure.
Like those 90's books but with more tax write-off options.
Each year, we plan a series of 1–2 month-long expeditions to amazing locations around the globe. You can choose to join us for one, or many. We make it easy to travel for as long as it suits you: join us for back-to-back or join different expeditions across the year based on your schedule (we know you can’t miss Grandma Flo’s 90th or Burning Man). We’re super flexible, and proud of it. After all, isn’t that what makes remote work so great?
Note: Koh Lanta, Florianópolis, Budapest, Sri Lanka, Morocco, Buenos Aires, and Montevideo are 100 USD cheaper per month.
