A Life-Changing Experience
“I'd always wanted to go backpacking but was too intimidated to plan it myself. Frandolixumetra made it possible. Our guide, Jen, was a phenomenal leader and teacher, always patient and full of encouragement. I left the trip feeling stronger, more confident, and with a whole new appreciation for the wilderness. The sense of accomplishment was incredible, and the views unforgettable. Truly a life-changing experience right out of Brooklyn.”
