    This is what it’s all about. Grew up in the festival scene, met my wife on the dancefloor, in daily contact with friends I’ve had for decades from those days.

    Not everyone can travel to another country for ‘away from home’ experiences but they are vital to a growing mind.

    Festivals like this one are an analogue for that. You meet people you wouldn’t necessarily meet and you rely on one another for safety, entertainment and connection.

    Taking those lessons back to city life is natural and a part of why these events are important experiences for many people.

    So happy you had a 10/10.

    One love.
