**What do you like best about Contiki?**

The easiness and variety of trips as well as the fact that it's international clientele.

I wish they had more shorter trips. There are many trips that are over a week long and sometimes it works best to do a shorter trip that way the participants can travel to other countries on their own on the allowed time off.

I have no benefits when it comes to work.
