Behind the scenes, they spend countless hours crafting daily activities with Kirsty and me, ensuring a balance of adventure, relaxation and cultural enrichment. T hey have an uncanny ability to transform strangers into a close-knit community, sharing laughter, stories and moments of awe. They create an environment that fosters new friendships and unforgettable shared experiences. Long after the Hangout ends, we fi nd ourselves reminiscing about the moments we shared, connecting with new friends. And we’re forever grateful for the bonds forged during our time together and are making plans to meet again down the road.

In the world of Hangouts, a group of extraordinary Escapees members play an instrumental role in shaping our adven tures. They are the unsung volunteer heroes both behind the scenes and on location. Today, we raise our virtual glasses to our incredible Hangout hosts, whose passion, dedication and genuine warmth have made our Hangouts exceptional. Y ou are greeted with contagious smiles and open hearts when you arrive at a Hangout. Our hosts make each Hang out look seemingly effortless in execution. This is a testa ment to their immense dedication and meticulousness.

Cheers To Our Remarkable Hosts! We sincerely thank all of our hosts for their immeasurable impact on Hangouts.
