Fun new memories with new amazing friendships formed. Such a great way to see the world and meet new people. I tried new things, went out of my comfort zone and had an amazing experience. I will remember it forever and can’t believe all the things I got to do in just one month. How incredible!
Overall it was great. I think that in Albania it would be good to add in some beach time for the those whe want it. Maybe stay a night in Ksamil and make Butrint optional.
The trip to Croatia was outstanding. The people were so friendly, the scenery breathtaking and the food was out of this world. Excursions, transportation and accommodations were extremely well organized. There were so many included activities and delicious meals. Adi, our CEO, was amazing.
