Where do I start? This was my first hackers trip and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I did 4 weeks in Athens and it was the perfect amount of time to explore the beautiful city and the Greek islands as well. The program is thoughtfully laid out so you always have something to do but there are also many periods of rest for solo exploration. My suggestion is to integrate more locals into the program (perhaps they could do a DMC or a workshop) but other than that it’s truly a life changing experience. PS it’s also what you make it, so if you immerse yourself, you will get what you want out of it.

One thing that made this experience exceptional was our facilitator, Juan Poon. I can see that he’s a wonderful employee to HP BUT he’s an even better friend in real life. His character is unmatched. Every time we has the privilege to hang out with Juan, we jumped at it. He’s the Juan we want to lead us on every trip. He shows up every time, whether it’s a sponsored event or not. He’s the Juan you call when you’re in need of help. And he’s the Juan you call when you just want to chat about … anything.

Thank you for making this our favorite trip Juan!
