How I did it: worked all year to make the money, got together a few friends, and went! it was definitely a trip that took a lot of planning, and while its hard to part with all that money, you'll be happy you did. its something you have to experience in person, because pictures do absolutely no justice. 

Lessons & tips: make sure you're super comfortable with the people youre going with. also, if youre at a hotel, freeze water bottles overnight, and take them the next day. AMAZING! 

Resources: lots of water, cameras, money, SUNSCREEN, and chapstick.
