I asked Brigitte, who is also a personal friend, why she booked through Xtreme Gap and how she liked her trip, The Koh Tao Adventure.

  • Why did you choose to travel with Xtreme Gap Year. Was it price, programmes, the fear of travelling alone, your parents…

The programme and to be honest, it was you Deb. But you already knew that

  • What could we improve to inform you better about your trip before you leave?

In my opinion you have nothing to improve. Can’t think of a single thing! Otherwise I would have told you already.

  • Was the trip the same, better or worse then you thought it would be?

Better. The people at organizing the Xtreme Gap activities were good people. Heaps of fun.

  • What was your best experience during your travels. Think about overcoming fears, meeting new friends, getting to know a new skill, seeing amazing places etc.

Rock climbing @ Koh Tao. And challenging my fears apparently. After this experience I can state that I am very-very-VERY afraid of heights. That doesn’t stop me from booking my next trip to NZ or SA to go Bungee Jumping though.  Besides the frightening rock climbing, cliff jumping and abseiling experience Thailand has so much more to offer. I love the white beaches, the nature, the people and worth mentioning: The BUCKETS.

  • What was the worst experience during your travel, was there anything you did not expect,what did not live up to your expectations and most of all why…

Well the worst experience was that I didn’t anticipate my fear of heights. Never so scared in my entire life.

  • What could we have done to make it even better?

Arrange extra holiday days from my employer so I can travel again!

  • General remarks, tips and feedback. Or just a great story about your trip.

I think Xtreme Gap Year is doing a great job and I’m very, very jealous or maybe envious is a better word of the path in life you have chosen and have taken the chances when they were presented. I’m not surprised that it works out for you as you have business in your DNA! This must be a dream coming true for you. If you ever think about hiring people in the future, think of me-think of me-think of me!!!

Continue the good work!! (Thanks Brigit! We will!!)
