Diese Reise war eine großartige Erfahrung! Ich hatte so viel Spaß und es war so schön, im Urlaub zu sein und mit Fremden richtig Spaß zu haben. Ich muss sagen, einige der Informationen auf der Website von worldpackers stimmten nicht ganz mit dem Reiseplan des Gastgebers überein; dennoch denke ich, dass die Unterschiede mehr Spaß gebracht haben! Ich habe alle enthaltenen Aktivitäten und die Add-ons wirklich genossen.

Das Surf-Camp war unglaublich, aber ehrlich gesagt sind es die Menschen, die es so unvergesslich gemacht haben. Ich kam wegen der Strände, Abenteuer und Sonnenschein, aber ging mit so vielen neuen Freundschaften, Geschichten und kleinen Momenten mit Menschen, die ich sonst nie getroffen hätte. Von Fremden, die mich wie einen alten Freund willkommen hießen, bis zu den Mädchen, mit denen ich die Reise geteilt habe, war es eine Erinnerung daran, dass der beste Teil des Reisens selten die Orte sind, die man sieht, sondern die Menschen, die man unterwegs trifft. Das Surf-Camp wird immer ein kleines Stück meines Herzens behalten.

10/10-Erfahrung! Ich habe eine unglaubliche Zeit in Manuel Antonio im Surfcamp-long surf camp verbracht. Brett, unser Reisekoordinator, war großartig! Super flexibel, engagiert, und insgesamt hat er die Erfahrung reibungslos gemacht. Ich hatte eine tolle Zeit und werde es anderen Reisenden empfehlen.

Brett ist ein großartiger Reiseleiter und Gastgeber! Er konnte schnell mit den Änderungen in der Gruppe arbeiten, dem Verlust von Mitgliedern aus eigenen Gründen begegnen und die kleine Gruppe so gut zusammenbringen! Es fühlte sich an wie ein perfekter Ausflug mit Menschen, die ich noch nie getroffen hatte, und schon am zweiten Tag gingen wir dahin, Freundschaften zu schließen, und alles fühlte sich einfach an! Die Anpassung an das Klima war das einzige Problem, das ich hatte, und nach jeder Veranstaltung zu einer frischen Klimaanlage zurückzukehren, war fantastisch! Selbst an Tagen, an denen ich zurückbleiben musste, fühlte ich mich nie ausgeschlossen!
