I have met kinder individuals.
January 18, 2024by: Gabrielle R - United KingdomProgram: African Mini Gap YearGoing in I felt anxious on what to expect as I have never traveled on my own, however that was quickly taken away by the support and encouragement from all involved, I have never met kinder and more likeminded individuals!
