This was truly incredible. -life changing for me. These hosts are very warm and welcoming. I felt seen and valued by them. The projects and events were great -some were fun, some refreshing, and all were super healing to my soul😍. The event side of the schedule did get changed a nice bit, but I like change so that wasn't a big deal for me except not saving the turtles was sad. I loved the amount of free time we had. Beforehand communication was lacking, which caused for some not so ideal experiences for me (pssst, I will cherish them in my memories;)) Overall splendid experience 💖

This the surf camp with Eva, Eve and all the other girls has truly been MAGICAL. I came all the way from Norway, and I felt well taken care of and safe in my travel. My first travel outside of Europe. I will say that the weeks leading up to the trip wasn't very organized and it was hard to know what's going on, I felt like I was going into it blind. I expressed this in the chat and after I did, they took SO MUCH initiative and it felt completely different! I only had to ask once for what I needed, and it was taken care of, which was amazing. So they truly made sure we were informed and felt safe!
