This adventure was amazing! I really enjoyed traveling to a country that I would have otherwise not been able to visit. I do think that there could have been more accommodations/ it was challenging to participate fully around the town for the scavenger hunt since it was cold and some of us have mobility issues. I also think that there could have been better options for breakfast (more vegan would have been great) and coffee/water/ tea available at all times(!) but overall it was great!

So nice to connect to so many new faces in the CL team! Really well organised and get way to strategize plans for next year! It was also nice to have some down time to get to know one another! I can't wait for the next one, big shout out to everyone who joined this year's summit and to everyone who worked so hard to put this together, I really appreciate it! <3 Samia

I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend my time in Iceland. Perfectly planned with several adventures, meeting wonderful new people and also getting the best tour guides and host to really make this trip memorable. The location was ideal, easy transport to the town, the hotel was perfect with breakfast/all required amenities and it was so lovely to have our own private mini bus to go around Iceland and explore this made this trip very unique! I thoroughly enjoyed it, I'm already thinking about joining again next year! Big shout out to the very clear guide sent to us prior to the trip so we had a good understanding of what to expect of the trip, what to bring and some great top tips! Extremely well organised, thank you so much GGI travel team for this experience, I look forward to joining several more! Samia :) x

This was my first global meet up with Girl Gone International and it most definitely won't be my last! Everything was planned to the T! Violet was great, she was informative, welcoming and definitely went the extra mile in making this one of the best trips I've ever been on. The best part about exploring beautiful Barcelona was doing so with 18 other women from all over the world. I definitely recommend Girl Gone International Trips to any woman looking to explore, meet new friends and enjoy a well organised vacation!
