“ it is not so much a meet up group but a marketing tool for a commercial company in spain. they opffer teaching to one group and a life experience to another group where mutual friendships are made, maybe for life. i think people who are open to broardening their outlook in life would naturally be attracted to this group,and they in turn will be the right people to attend these group meetings. it is not a hobby or social network group , but it informs you of an experience, in an open and honest way. the honesty will allow the individual to make an informed decission and to get the best from the experience and to give the most to the venture. ”

“ It will broaden their horizons. Because it is an alternative holiday experience. Furthermore you are networking socially on a global level. I thought it was predominantly Americans and English teachers that went there. I have been told this is not the case. The concept of attending a meetup in London where it is possible that you can meet others who will be going to attend the same programme as you is really helpful for exchanging your ideas. ”
