I've been on two Noma trips so far with Panama being the most recent one. It's really hard to put the Noma experience into words, but I had an amazing time. Mariela was my community manager, and she did a great job. By the second week our group felt like family, and I even continued traveling with a few others after we left Panama. If you're on the fence, just do it. The connections alone are worth it, not to mention the excursions and exposure to local culture.
