Flexibility, proactive, working with local indigenous community, some predictability, heavily applicable for future and during program, open to suggestions/accommodations
What I wish was different
More heads up on specific plans (every day is planned, but activities may have more parts than initially shared)
Advice
Prepare for a good amount of physical and mental exercise. People are nice, so be nice as well. This is a great opportunity for networking and off-topic application questions
