Ultimate Start to my Gap Year

Such an amazing start to my trip! Met so many friends in the first week. I kept running into people I had met on this tour throughout the next year in all parts of Australia. Basecamp was the best! Sand boarding, fires on the beach, dolphin watching tours... A bunch of us went to a surf camp together right after the tour that was arranged by the same company where all my new friends helped me celebrate by birthday. They bought a birthday candle and put it in an orange and surprised me the morning of my birthday by singing me happy birthday in 3 different languages and waking up everyone else in camp! Great friends, and amazing memories!
