How did The Remote Trip start?
On February 1st 2017, the first TRT community with people from all corners of the world flocked together in Chiang Mai, Thailand to join our very first inaugural trip. Every month more people joined the community in the next exciting destination, ready for a new adventure.
In total, we’ve traveled to 5 vibrant remote work destinations all around the world, welcomed 10+ nationalities, made 100+ new friends along the way, and made countless new memories. We had an unforgettable time learning how to surf in beautiful Bali, enjoying Thai massages after work in Chiang Mai, and dancing salsa in Panama together. And a lot more!
This year, we want to open up this way of living, traveling, and working to as many people as possible, by helping MORE people make the leap from an office job to working remote (i.e. work from anywhere with your laptop)!

Our Business
Is The Remote Trip a job provider?
No, The Remote Trip is not a job provider. We do however aim to provide the best resources possible for people looking to transition from a traditional office job to a remote job (with your current employer or a new employer), a freelancer, or an online entrepreneur.
What does The Remote Trip provide?
We believe there are three steps in the process of transitioning from a traditional office job to a remote job: 1) Get Started by Gaining Knowlege, 2) Learn the Skills, and 3) Enjoy Your New Lifestyle.
To get started (step 1), we highly suggest reading our “How to Work Remote, Travel the World & Live Life on Your Own Terms” E-book 2019 to gain all the knowledge you need to embark this journey.
Based on this knowledge, you should learn the skills you need to be able to successfully transition to working remotely. To help you with this, we’ve designed three TRT MasterCourses for aspiring remote employees, freelancers, and entrepreneurs.
Finally, when you’ve taken the leap, you’re ready to enjoy your new lifestyle by joining a Trip!

No, we highly suggest NOT to quit your job (yet…unless you really can’t wait any longer and you’ve got a decent amount of savings to keep you going :-)) during the course.
Our courses are designed to work perfectly alongside your current job.
