Community building was fun

The best part about the Patagonia Adventure Guide Program for me was the community building of our group. Working to our individual and collective goals, and helping push each other in the direction people wanted to go.

Week after week I was faced with challenges I had never dreamed of taking on prior. I carried on despite my self-doubt and I realised I achieved a lot of personal growth by the final week. Too much to begin to narrow down. And the things I got to experience… wow! Thank you.
