Minus the time I fought and defeated the Amazonian gorilla king this is definitely the best thing I’ve ever done!”

Absolutely life changing! When I first arrived I was quite unsure of what to expect, coming from a small town in the UK and feeling really nervous. The course exceeded anything I could of ever dreamed of; meeting what are now my best friends and spending 3 months living the ski dream!
