Great fun, was not expecting to stay as long as I did but was having so much fun. A couple hours light work a day is a good trade off 🫶

I had a wonderful time in Aoshima. The work was fun and the team great. Besides the agreed hours of work we spend a lot of the time surfing and exploring the area (there's so much to see). Can highly recommend and would love to go back.
