If you are hesitant at all about traveling with a group of strangers from around the world for two weeks, trust me when I say GO FOR IT. Kate creates such a welcoming atmosphere where you can truly be yourself, spend way too much time laughing to the point of crying, and have deep and meaningful conversations.
