What were your impressions of your destination?
It was amazing and beautiful. We stayed in three different locations during the project and each one was wonderful.
Was the work interesting and challenging?
The work was very interesting and we really got involved in our projects and got on with local guides very well. It was challenging, but in a good way. I enjoyed every moment of it even if it was hard work.
What was your accommodation like? Did you feel comfortable and welcome at all times?
The accommodation was beyond expectations. I felt it bonded the group well and we had everything we needed to complete the experience. I felt very safe in the places we stayed and very comfortable indeed. If anything the accommodation was too nice if you were looking for a rougher experience.
Were you happy with the organisation and the staff that were responsible for you during your stay?
We had two great leaders who were down to earth and very approachable. We had a lot of fun with them and it didn't seem like leaders and followers but one big group getting on together. I felt they were responsible and made good decisions that made everybody happy. The support back at home was great too as my mother did bother them quite a bit when I lost my cash card, they were really nice to her and dealt with her worrying ways very well.
Do you feel that you got value for money on the project?
I definitely feel as if I got value for money as I got soooo much out of if. The expedition after was great and well worth the extra. You get out what you put in and I certainly got a lot out of it and had a great experience with great people.
Would you recommend the project to others?
Yes
