We were just a bunch of strangers tired of feeling stuck — of group chats full of "we should totally go" and weekends that all looked the same. So one day we posted: "Anyone up for surfing in Nicaragua?" Two hundred people said yes. Ten actually showed up (classic). Those ten went from strangers to "where have you been all my life?" One trip turned into two, then ten — and that's how YFAB happened.
FRIENDSHIPS MADE
Who we are
We’re not tour guides - and we don’t want to be. We’re a crew of curious, open-hearted travelers who wanted more than just another trip and decided to build it ourselves.
Clara
Everything kind of started with her. She wanted to go to Nicaragua, dropped a message in a surf group and the rest is history. She’s the eternal beginner, always saying yes—surf, diving, bouldering, cooking you name it. Never the pro, but always the vibe.Drop her in a new place and she’ll already know the locals, found the best food, and convinced you to try something you swore you wouldn’t.
Antonio
The human version of a triple espresso. Surfs, dives, surfskates—and somehow makes you do it too. Never touched a board in your life? Give him five minutes and you’ll be going down a pipeline wondering what just happened. He’ll push you out of your comfort zone, then cheer the loudest when you nail it. Nonstop energy. Big smile. Zero chill.

We plan the trip your friends never will: surfing in Morocco, diving in the Philippines, and hiking with no signal. We handle tha chaos. You show up. Oh - and everyone comes solo. That's kind of the point.

For those whose group chat keeps saying "we should go" and never does. For the curious and solo travelers. If an adventure trip with strangers sounds like your thing... trust us, it is.
“I had an amazing time on the trip organized per Clara and Amaury. They went really above and beyond to help accommodate lots of issues I had to make it to the trip and I could truly just enjoy it without having to worry about much. I definitely recommend traveling with these two!!”
Suemy (Taghazout, Morocco)
"I just wanted to say THANK YOU guys SO much for planning this awesome itinerary!! 🥳 and Marcos is seriously so so amazing, he truly added to the trip in the best way! We loved him!"
Tina (Tamarindo)
“Booked the Costa Rica surf trip on an impulse decision and it was the best thing I ever did!! Don’t sit around and wait for the right moment or people to go with you! I met 4 strangers + even more at the hostel, and it was such an amazing time! Thank goodness my friends are boring because I would have never met these new ones!🩷🏄🏽♀️”
Shiann (Tamarindo)
“First group solo trip. Great experience. Trip was very organized and decent communication throughout. Great price point. Highly recommend”
Lauren (Tamarindo)
“Just got back from an unforgettable trip to Cabo with Pilar and I’m still glowing. The whole experience was warm, welcoming, and full of good vibes—from start to finish. I got my scuba certification while I was there (huge moment!) and felt so supported every step of the way. Pilar made everything feel safe and unforgettable.
It was unique and once in a lifetime and I was lucky enough to have a very well rounded group of personalities”
Jessica (Los Cabos)
“Absolutely amazing! Great sense of community and lovely group of people. The group leader Caitlyn was AMAZING! Thank you for such an amazing experience!”
Annique (Los Cabos)
“What an amazing experience!! Besides organizing everything so smoothly they were also so fun to hang out with. The 9 of us started as strangers, but by the end of the trip, I was happy to call them all friends. I can 100% guarantee that I'll be doing this again. Thanks again Clara and Amaury for making it all happen!!”
Anuved (Nicaragua)
“Meeting like minded people in the most beautiful of places, everything from the hostel selection and hostel staff, to the adventures with new friends to local markets, beautiful surf spots and sunset look out points 😍”
Connor (Taghazout, Morocco)
“Such an amazing and memorable trip!!”
Alexandra (Taghazout, Morocco)
“I love the trip, the location, the people on the trip, the host Emily, and the people we met in the community. I also really appreciated that even though my flight had issues and I was delayed. I didn’t feel like I missed out on anything I was still able to get Airport pick up and was not made to feel stress by the company. Which was very appreciated!”
Lisa (Moalboal)
“10/10 would recommend this company. Such a good idea and solo trips are always the best!!!”
Elle (El Salvador)
“Crazy how great of relationships you make with people in such a fast amount of time.”
Anthony (El Salvador)
