Finca Ganadito: Lifelong Lessons in Eco-Tourism and Creating Community Abroad!
I've never experienced a sense of community, especially amongst a group of people I've never previously met, quite like the one Worldpackers has built via their Epic Trips initiative. This Costa Rica experience at Finca Ganadito in Drake Bay is TRULY something I will never personally forget. It was the perfect balance of educational, exhilarating, and just pure FUN!! I learned so much and had SUCH a phenomenal time doing it alongside the beautiful people both attending and hosting this trip. From swimming alongside manta rays, to horseback riding through the jungle, to eating the MOST delicious, homemade vegan food, to visiting a primary jungle just outside the property we were staying at, to starting the mornings off with reenergizing, sunlit yoga sessions, to practicing regenerative farming, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for opening my eyes to what sustainable, eco-tourism actually looks like and the real-life, positive impact these sorts of trips can have!
