WELCOME TO RIVERSIDE!

A Journey That Became a Movement: we are Jota, Paula, John and Abid, Co-founders of Riverside.

After living in a country once marked by violence and navigating the storm of COVID while working in hospitality, Jota fell ill. Yet he kept going—driven by the belief that many others, like him, were searching for healing, connection, and purpose. From this vision, Riverside was born.

What started as a small sanctuary in Jericó quickly grew into something larger. Travelers weren’t just looking for a stay; they wanted a way to work productively, live close to nature, and rediscover joy in community. Riverside became a bridge between remote workers and the paradises that could inspire them.

As the movement expanded, more travelers and partners joined the vision—committed to creating a new way of traveling: working remotely while truly experiencing the world. Together, we’ve proven that it’s possible to stay connected while slowing down, to grow while resting, and to thrive while exploring.

Today, Riverside is a Travel Agency for Digital Nomads and Remote Workers. We don’t operate hotels or coworkings—we connect you with verified partners across Colombia’s most inspiring destinations. With Riverside, you can trust in reliable connectivity, safety, and comfort while embracing a lifestyle that blends work, nature, and community.

OUR VISION

FOR THE FUTURE

We dream of a world where travelers and local entrepreneurs come together to create more Riverside-style destinations. These are places where nature, comfort, and reliable high-speed internet make it possible to live, work, and grow from anywhere.

By expanding this model to new countries, we want to give more people the chance to travel while staying connected. Our goal is to support local communities and open the door to life-changing experiences in wellness, adventure, culture, and learning.

Riverside was created by travelers, for travelers. That spirit still guides us today, proving that work and freedom can go hand in hand and that we do not need to wait for a vacation to start living fully.

INSPIRED BY

COLOMBIAN ROOTS

At Riverside, our journey is inspired by the spirit of the Colombian countryside. The resilience of coffee growers, the wisdom of Indigenous communities, and the traditions of rural families remind us of the beauty found in simplicity and the strength that comes from community.

We celebrate this cultural richness by connecting travelers from around the world with these roots, creating spaces where local heritage meets a global, multicultural perspective.
