Daily Flow — Example

Start your day with an optional group meet-up. Most days include an included city highlight or leave you free to explore. Evenings offer more free time — your coordinator shares suggestions but you set your own pace.

The balance is structure + freedom: make friends, explore independently, and always know what’s happening each day.
