I felt really grateful to myself for going there. This has stayed with me and I feel I want to try more of these things, even when it feels a bit awkward before going there, with this feeling of not knowing what to expect, this uncertainty. It was definitely worth it!
Go there! They don't tell you what to do or not, just take the first step and you’ll find something to enjoy. That’s the important thing.

It was such a nice environment and it felt really a place outside of society. Like there didn’t have to be anything on your mind.
I think there’s a great balance to be found between meeting expectations and still trying to be a kid.
Yeah, definitely go if you’re in the city. It’s a nice place, nice people. It makes you stop in your tracks and think.
