"Absolutely incredible! There wasn’t a second I didn’t love. It is truly a highlight of my year, heck, a highlight of my life! The past few months I have been really struggling but this trip was the perfect thing I needed to escape, refocus, and gain some perspective."

Parent, Spain Tour 2022

Thank you, thank you! I know I said this on the tour, but I want to say it in writing too. This trip was monumental for bringing my son, husband and myself together. Thank you for creating this environment where we could have so much fun, learn so much, and grow together. We love you guys! I can’t wait to travel with you again.
