A once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will never forget. Fiona made us all feel welcomed and comfortable and I am so glad she's doing this trip again. This trip introduced me to my favorite place in the world.

Easily one of the most memorable parts of my highschool experience. The relationships I built with the cast and crew were unlike that of any show I had previously worked on. I had an absolute blast, and will remember the trip for the rest of my life.
