The Coelho program travels through 4 continents rich with welcoming communities, long-standing traditions and history, and diverse cultures.
You'll start your journey in Latin America, where you’ll experience enjoyable weather as you explore an amazing mix of mountains, beaches, and metropolitan cities full of charming landscapes, aromatic coffee, parks, and foods with indigenous influences.
Next, you'll head down to Europe, where you can watch as Europe transitions into spring or summer throughout the region as you visit centuries-old historical landmarks and indulge in culinary traditions - all while living in the heart of three coastal cities. With picturesque European architecture and energy wrapping around every corner, you can spend each day soaking up the sun and ocean air, indulging in local delicacies, and find ancient history down every winding road.
You’ll make a stop in South Africa, one of the most nature-forward and beautiful cities on the planet. Here you’ll celebrate the end of the summer season surrounded by striking views of mountains, beaches, deserts, and vineyards. From hiking Lion’s Head at sunrise to visiting the penguins who freely roam the beaches, to drinking some of the best local wine you’ve ever tasted, Cape Town has something for everyone.
Finally, you’ll finish your year in Asia, where you’ll love experiencing hot, sunny days broken up by the welcome respite of afternoon showers in a region steeped in incredible culinary, cultural, historical, and entrepreneurial traditions. You’ll be fortunate to celebrate a string of holiday festivals in Japan to cap off your life-changing year of travel.
You will be staying in comfortable private bedrooms in a mix of 2-3 bedroom apartments or houses as well as hotels. You will be in amazing neighborhoods with a mix of a local and international flavor within walking distance from the workspace. You’ll love the great location, trendy atmosphere, and access to so much to do all around you. There may be options to upgrade to a private apartment after booking.
