Events and Trips

‘I was new to this country and was alone with no friends or family. We had a weekend away, cooking, singing and sleeping in the woods. I went down the mountain on ropes. I never had a trip like that before. We were multi-national but I felt so comfortable. It was beautiful days.’ Ameer
