“Guys, as I mentioned before, this was my first time hanging out in a group like this. I was so nervous. I had a blast. I can’t believe how close I felt to everyone. This was an experience I’ll cherish for the rest of my life!”
“No words for how amazing this experience has been and what an amazing group of people you all are! I know people were passing around their socials yesterday but I’m sure I don’t have everyone – it would be so great if everyone posts their various links here in chat so we can all add and follow everyone !”
– Morgan
“It was a terrific week, hard to describe how I feel right now, it will take a while to sink in. If loops were possible in real life I’d loop straight back to last Sunday! I am grateful of having connected with such amazing people from all over the world and utterly impressed by your passion, commitment and skills! Let’s stay in touch !”
