If you've been working remotely lately, you may be looking for a responsible and adventurous way to shake up your normal WFH routine. If you're looking to work remotely from somewhere new and closer to nature with a group of like-minded people, you're looking for a TWC Remote Work Experience!
Each month we invite a small group (8-12 people) to join us in a different location around the world to live, work, and explore for the month. Those looking to join should have the ability to work remotely for at least a few weeks (remote job, freelancer, startup project, etc). Outside of work, we adventure together (learning new languages, hiking, surfing, scuba diving, biking, road-tripping) and seeing new places. These months differ from our usual Group Trips by being about living in these destinations, so you have all the flexibility and independence you could want each day (but also an inspiring group to be with when you do want the company).
HOW IT WORKS
1. Choose which month(s) you want to join.
San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina with a week in Pucón, Chile
October 14th - November 11th, 2023
Only 1 room is still available for this departure.
2. Discover what's included in the package.
Each month's package costs $2499.
For those planning to split a room, the package costs $1899 per person. Note that the room has one bed only.
With each month's room cost, you'll get:
-
A furnished room with cleaning
-
A private room with a private bathroom

Access to a dedicated Co-working space (Wifi, desks, private areas, coffee, water, etc)

Taxes
Can I stay for less than a month?
These packages cannot be pro-rated for less than the 1 month (28 nights) stay. You can stay for less than 28 nights, but the cost will be the same. In our opinion, these deals are so unreal that they are worth it even if you stay less than a month.
Will I receive travel preparation guidance and advice?
Yes! Included in the monthly package is online information to help you prepare for your trip to your specific location(s), including a detailed packing list and information on culture, weather, health, safety, and emergencies, a 1-hour pre-departure call with TWC to further go over the preparation information regarding country-specific COVID-19 guidelines, entry requirements, travel insurance, phone data, currency, general safety, and more, correspondence with TWC via email for any questions and concerns pre-departure, and TWC Host at your destination (note that the Host is not a tour guide).
What is the bathroom situation?
The private room has a private ensuite bathroom.
Can I share a room?
Yes, 2 people can split any of the private rooms and split some costs that way. The Standard Private Rooms come with one double or queen bed. However, there are different prices for people splitting a room, which are listed above under #2. This is so that the second person can have all of the extras that come with the package that would typically only apply to 1 guest. Please note that having guests stay in your room without having them join the TWC group goes against TWC guidelines. TWC typically can't match people with random roommates.
Do I need to be working to attend one of these trips?
These trips are intended to be for people working full-time, self-employed, or in school. We ask people not to sign up if they do not intend to be doing one of the above. If you want to take a trip, we offer group trips for people taking time off and custom trips.
Are guests allowed?
If someone visits who is not signed up for the TWC Remote Work month, there is a nightly guest fee of $15, and the maximum number of nights a guest can stay is 4. These guests will not have access to the co-working space, wellness classes, the group message, pre-departure information, the weekend trip, etc. TWC can't arrange any travel or tours for people who are not part of the TWC group.
What COVID-19 precautions are in place?
COVID-19 precautions are set by the Co-living space and the government of the location, so they will vary from country to country. The COVID-19 protocols for the accommodation and co-working space are set by the accommodation and co-working spaces.
Do I need travel insurance?
Each traveler will have to purchase travel insurance of their choosing that fits specific requirements. Exploring travel insurance policies could give you more peace of mind. The travel insurance requirement is one topic that we discuss in our pre-departure calls with Remote Work Experience travelers
What is the cancellation policy?
Should it become impossible for someone to make it to their booking for specific reasons, such as a country's border closing, then TWC will work with the traveler to allow them to change their dates. Otherwise, for the work that TWC does, there is a monthly deposit that is non-refundable. There will be other non-refundable costs for canceling for other reasons as you get closer to your departure date (refer to your itinerary contract for specific dates and cancellation costs).
How long will these packages be available?
TWC Remote Work Experiences are now a staple TWC service that we offer several times a year!
Does the package come with the remote job?
Unfortunately, no, those looking to join should already have the ability to work remotely for at least a few weeks (remote job, freelancer, startup project, etc). However, we do have many suggestions on ways to make money online over on our Blog.
