Noma Collective (formerly Hacker Paradise) Reviews 78

This was our first HP trip: Cape Town in 2022 for one month, facilitated by Sara and Juan, who were stars in creating a safe and fun environment throughout the whole experience.

Sara organized an amazing townhouse for us; very spacious, always clean, and conveniently located. Our co-working space was around the corner at the heart of Green Point, a beautiful and safe neighborhood where we enjoyed the world's best Yoga classes at Yoga Life (alert for all yogis: go there - it is amazing!!).

When it comes to activities, HP offers a wide range of it fitting for introverts and extroverts, ranging from deep, meaningful conversations, cool house parties, and night-outs to insightful skill-shares. Juan also did a stellar job arranging the best weekend adventures and the most mesmerizing hikes.

We loved being productive at work and, at the same time, having once-in-a-lifetime experiences. And above all, because of HP, we not only got to know new places but also connected with diverse and incredible personalities.

The trip inspired us to book already the next adventures with HP. We highly recommend taking the step to book your trip with them too.

Fantastic experience! Cannot recommend Hacker Paradise more and will continue to use them for all my future trips.

Traveling with Hacker Paradise to Cape Town was an off-the-chart experience. The accommodation provided by them was top-notch so was the coworking space which was only two blocks away (none of the other's accommodations was further away than a few blocks). Coordinators Juan and Sara were extremely helpful and full of positive energy and initiative to improve everybody's experience and attend to any particular need. There is a lot going on, everybody is organizing amazing activities and nobody feels pressure to jump in, completely up to each individual. HP also has activities in place to help people get to know each other which is very useful to break the ice, especially at the beginning.
I would highly recommend HP and congratulate and extend my deep appreciation to Juan and Sara.

I joined the Canggu trip in September 22 and Hacker Paradise exceeded every expectation.

I wanted to explore what being a true digital nomad means, but didn't want to do it completely on my own, so I decided to go with HP. I never made a better decision!

They handle everything for you: accommodation, co-working space, SIM card, daily events, adventures, etc. so you can just focus on what matters: work, having fun, making friends and exploring a new country.

The best part for me was having a group of like-minded people ready to share from Day 1 and for an entire month this amazing experience with you, they will quickly become your best friends.
If you go travelling solo it will take you months to make the same connections you make in just a few days with HP.

The facilitators Sara and Dee were absolutely amazing, truly beautiful people that went above and beyond to ensure that everyone in the trip was always having the best time. There are no words to describe how great they are!

A truly life changing experience for me and I'll definitely join again soon.

I'd wanted to try taking my remote job on the road for a while but didn't know where to start. Hacker Paradise handled the accommodation, coworking, phone SIM's, adventures, everything.

The trip was the perfect balance between being able to work my full-time remote job and experiencing another country whilst also making new friends along the way. The facilitators Sara and Dee were absolutely faultless and ensured that every person on the trip was having their needs catered for and having an awesome time.

By far one of the best things the trip provides is an excellent base of friends from day one. It just makes it much more palatable to tackle a new country when you're surrounded by an incredible and diverse group of people who are supporting you.

I'll be back.

This trip in Bali in September 2022 was my 2nd trip with Hacker Paradise and certainly not the last! It's a great way to make friends. The facilitators are awesome and go out of their way to make your trip a memorable and fun experience.

No doubt there will always be more places to explore, more people to meet, more stories to share but .. you will never forget your first.

I kept saying over and over again how glad I am I took this trip. And how an impulsive google search led me to one of the best experiences I had in my life so far.

Alone but not really. It’s no quick fix, but it changes you.

I may not see them again or I may, who knows - life is strange and full of surprises.

All those late night conversations, all the banter and sharing sunsets together for three weeks (some four weeks), appreciating the camaraderie and nuances of each “stranger” who later on you consider as a friend.

If you are stuck somewhere or you feel your happy feet is calling you somewhere - do it! Go for it!

Thank you. @hackerparadise HP Canggu 2022 for the love and friendship 💚

The nomad life is a dream worth pursuing especially if you have not started a family or have raised children who no longer needs you. If you are raising a family it can be a little tricky.

This was my first trip with HP and it certainly won’t be my last! The trip in Palermo was very well organised from start to finish and the facilitators, Juan and Sara were amazing! Not only did the trip give me an insight into the digital nomad lifestyle, but it helped connect me with likeminded people, share adventures and build some life long friendships! I will definitely be recommending HP to my friends and cannot wait for my next trip with them in Cape Town! Thank you HP team :)

This program is great if you are a solo traveler or looking to get into the digital nomad lifestyle. You are connected with a group of people from all over the world and are able to explore new places without worrying about logistics or planning in areas you aren’t familiar with. For anyone looking to connect with other travelers, explore the world for a month while working, or try out a new way of life with a new group of kind, passionate, and exciting individuals, this is the way to go!

Wow! This is just one word to describe how amazed I was with this trip. As a professional that works remotely and wants to travel more but has a balance between home and traveling, this program was a perfect fit for me. I traveled for two weeks with HP, and I enjoyed everything, the facilitators went beyond to make sure everything was working, and we were having the time of our lives. I’m so thankful for the connections I made and the beautiful places I saw. Thanks, Sara and Dee!

The HP Lima trip was my first tentative step into a digital nomad lifestyle and this was a great start. The trip was well organized, the people were mature and fun, accommodations were good and centrally located and the coworking space easily accessible and functional. A special shout-out to the facilitators, Dee and Sara, they were awesome. You knew Dee was doing a great job because we didn’t have to deal with any logistics issues. Sara ensured we were always engaged and had fun activities and events planned or had great suggestions for days when we wanted to do our own thing. Both were very connected to the group, highly responsive and friendly and made the experience so much better. I would love to travel with them again.
Overall the trip was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend it.

I spent two years nomading before I found HP in 2018. Been on three trips. It’s a great way to get work done, meet cool people, and have a community as you travel. Can’t beat the value for the price!

Hacker Paradise knows exactly how to strike the right balance between work and play for digital nomads looking for a tight-knit community to travel and experience the world with. I’ve participated in 3 trips, two in Bali and one in Madeira, Portugal. The experiences and adventures I had on these trips are something I always fondly look back on, but even better is still being in touch with so many of my HP alums!

I’ve done 3 trips with Hacker Paradise and they keep getting better! I love the community aspect and getting to meet other likeminded travelers. It’s made my experience traveling so much better to have a built in community.

Great value, awesome people, helpful facilitators, recommend

Perfect to start as a digital nomad, I really recommend Hacker Paradise. They will find you accommodations in the best neighborhoods and also a nice coworking place. The community is really nice, people are very friendly and open-minded, including the facilitators who make all events and activities run smoothly.
It's a little more expensive than doing a trip by yourself, however, you will have this amazing community with you, a lot of events/activities, and good places, which make your life way easier so you can focus on work and have fun.

I've done 4 HP trips and can't wait for my fifth! They consistently put together a good group of people with a nice balance of programming. I always felt that I had plenty to do, while also having the time and freedom to work remotely and explore independently. I was a digital nomad for three years before trying my first HP trip, and it offers real value even for those who are experienced and comfortable with traveling on their own. Huge hats off to Juan the facilitator, he can handle any crisis and makes every trip a blast to be on.

Where do I start? This was my first hackers trip and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I did 4 weeks in Athens and it was the perfect amount of time to explore the beautiful city and the Greek islands as well. The program is thoughtfully laid out so you always have something to do but there are also many periods of rest for solo exploration. My suggestion is to integrate more locals into the program (perhaps they could do a DMC or a workshop) but other than that it’s truly a life changing experience. PS it’s also what you make it, so if you immerse yourself, you will get what you want out of it.

One thing that made this experience exceptional was our facilitator, Juan Poon. I can see that he’s a wonderful employee to HP BUT he’s an even better friend in real life. His character is unmatched. Every time we has the privilege to hang out with Juan, we jumped at it. He’s the Juan we want to lead us on every trip. He shows up every time, whether it’s a sponsored event or not. He’s the Juan you call when you’re in need of help. And he’s the Juan you call when you just want to chat about … anything.

Thank you for making this our favorite trip Juan!

I have done 4 Hacker Paradise trips during the last year. The have all been amazing and I’ve had the chance to meet a ton of new people working while traveling. HP has helped me experience many new locations in the world and makes it so easy to do so while working as well as having tons of social activities. All facilitators (Juan, Sarah and Marketa) from my previous trips have done a great job at making things run smoothly.

I can’t recommend HP enough and I’ve already booked my next trip. I’ll definitely have many more trips to come in the future.

I've been a digital nomad for almost 8 years I'm varying capacity. It's so nice to have a group of like-minded folks around you when exploring someplace new, and HP provides that. They make sure you have the basics, a great group of people, and lots of opportunities to meet and interact, without being an organized tour. It's a great mix of Freedom with a "program." I highly recommend for both brand new and experienced nomads alike!
