Day 1

Arrival to Tirana and transfer to Borove

This trip was fulfilling in multiple ways. It was a wonderful opportunity to experience beautiful surroundings while engaging in invigorating outdoor experiences, connecting with new and solid people both on the surface and at a deeper level, connect with myself in periods of quiet beauty, and disconnect from electronics and the outside world. As if that's not enough, the cuisine and accommodations were top notch. I highly recommend this unparalleled experience.

Unforgettable. From other-worldly scenery we saw mountain biking around N.M. to the heart-centered reflections offered by the program guides, it was the best spiritual/adventure retreat I've ever been on. And Fitrah Outdoors took care of everything--meals / transfers / rentals / instruction from a local Muslim pro mountain biking guide who has been riding the trails for decades--so we could focus on the experience. The program was organized, nourishing, and inspiring, and everyone seemed to leave the program with smiles, inner tranquility, and a newfound confidence to mountain bike. I'll be back next year, in'sha Allah.

What a simple yet wonderful way to bring people together virtually! We had a great time getting to know others on the call, and learning more about the incredible programming Colin has in store for Fitrah Outdoors. Looking forward to attending something in person soon.
