The most wonderful week!

I had the most amazing week with BLUE. Disconnecting from my stressful life and being in nature with new people brought me more peace than ever.

I will never forget the fun I had and how full my heart was by the end of the trip to know that BLUE made such a difference for so many people!

You would think I would feel scared or uneasy, but easily within the first few days that country became home and those strangers became family. It is there where i realized the beauty of the campo. A place free from social, cultur...
