GIVE Nicaragua: Cultural immersion and Surfing

My experience with GIVE while visiting Nicaragua was absolutely incredible and deeply meaningful. The local guide, Moises, was not only knowledgeable but also passionate about sharing his country’s rich history and culture. The other guides, Megan and Tanner, brought so much warmth, energy, and support to the entire trip. As a Muslim, I had hoped to visit the only mosque in the country, and GIVE went out of their way to make that possible for me. I’m already in the process of planning my next trip with GIVE for next summer. I would absolutely recommend GIVE to anyone looking for a purposeful, culturally immersive, and life-changing experience.

It is an eye opening trip that teaches you about the importance of the impact of you everyday activities in ways you could never imagine. The great thing about this trip is that all of your money goes directly to the community through the fun activities because they all involve locals. You will meet lovely and welcoming people that are so excited to share their culture with you while you serve them.

This is totally worth the money! Every penny you pay goes towards making your trip an amazing experience, and it gives back to the local community! It may seem expensive, but it is much better than spending your money at an all-inclusive resort somewhere that doesn't pay their workers a fair wage. The people you meet are truly one of a kind, and GIVE does its best to make everyone feel included and happy. Even if you are not the most adventurous person, you'll want to be on this trip. They make you comfortable with being uncomfortable. During your time on the trip, you'll see how fun it is to try new things and help people out! It's truly an unforgettable experience that you don't want to miss out on. Money comes back, but missed opportunities don't. They literally take care of everything, even getting flights is easy through their partners. there is not any travel anxiety going into it because they plan everything out for you, and you just gotta bring your energy! Do it you won't regret it.
