“The Summit was a lot more that just a 2 week trip, it was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. The people we met along the was were amazing and the activities we got to do were incredible, while learning so much. I’m so privileged to have come on this trip and would have changed a thing. Its organised perfectly and we all had the best time.”
