Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of my most unforgettable moments was leading a group of kids in the Dominican Republic, all huge baseball fans. During an activity, I spotted a nearby baseball field and couldn't resist. I slipped away from the group and approached the coach to see if we could join in for a friendly match. He was instantly on board, and what followed was pure magic. Playing alongside locals, the kids were overjoyed, making genuine connections and turning the game into the highlight of our trip. The warmth and appreciation they showed me will stay with me forever. It just goes to show, a little kindness can create profound memories.
Another time, while passing by with a group, I saw people dancing to live drum music celebrating 'las patronales,' a cultural celebration. I couldn't resist—I stopped the bus, and asked to join the party, and soon, all my travelers were dancing with the locals, feeling the music and letting themselves go. It was a magical experience, filled with joy and connection, and it truly captured the essence of immersive travel."
