I am not able to comment on the planning, as it was not part of my role with the trip.

Robert is an exceptional guide, who is knowledgeable about the history of Croatia and the area of Zagreb. He continuously checked in with me and my colleague to ensure that it was the best experience for Mohawk College students. He always had an alternative plan in case of weather etc. By the end of the second day, he knew everyone's name and remembered things about each individual in the party. Based on feedback from the students, this was important to them. He was inclusive and wanted to make sure the experiences aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. By the end of the trip, we were having sing-alongs, telling jokes, etc. which is what the students remember. It is about relationship development.

Robert picked the perfect day to visit Plitivice. The students were enthralled and amazed. National parks are an important part of most countries and preserving these areas is important for climate change and the environment.
