I was a 24 year old college graduate with no idea what to do with my life.  Working with Chappy for an entire month completely changed my life.  The biggest bonus was that I was in Hawaii.  One of the most calming and spiritual places I have ever been.  The adventures we partook in will forever be engraved in my memory as some of the coolest things I have ever done. On top of learning the island life ie.. Fishing, yoga, meditation, Wim Hof and spear fishing.  We were able to create a plan personally catered to me to go back and attack life the way I wanted.  Nothing felt forced but I was out of my comfort zone a lot.  That is where I believe I grew the most.  Having this experience gave me the confidence and skills to overcome any bump in the road that I have faced and will face in the future. I am internally grateful for this opportunity and life experience.

I arrived in Hawaii at a low point in my life. I had been going through the motions, of early adulthood with no direction or drive. I was not happy with my choices and did not know how to dig myself out of a hole that felt insurmountable. Chappy did not help me but rather showed me how to help myself. Through providing guidance on how to build a sturdy foundation through work on body, community, and mind, Chappy helped me regain passion and drive. This passion was then applied to pursuits that are only possible in the unique location of Belay Life Experiences. While diving into the geological history of the Hawaiian Islands, I discovered a love for photography while touring Volcano National Park. When starting at Belay neither Chappy or I knew where I would end up, the growth occurred organically. This lack of expectation and programming allows clients to flourish in a unique way, the only constant is growth. I cannot recommend this program enough, Chappy is a special person who understands people better than anyone i know. 

My journey with Belay Life Experiences, which spanned across Hawaii and Washington, was nothing short of transformative. 

From the very first day, Andrew's expertise in guiding young people on a journey of self-discovery was evident. He designed a well-crafted itinerary that allowed me to explore different activities that I had never tried before. My stay in Kona, Hawaii was particularly memorable, where I learned to do yoga, surf, wim hof, and free dive. These activities helped me tap into my physical and mental strength, pushing me beyond my comfort zone and enabling me to connect with nature in a profound way.

When I traveled to Plain, Washington, I learned the art of fly fishing and even went on a backpacking trip on the Pacific Crest Trail. These experiences helped me develop resilience, self-reliance, and independence, and gave me a new appreciation for the natural world.

However, what really sets Andrew apart is his ability to connect with young people who feel lost and are searching for direction in life. My time with him gave me a much-needed break from my routine, which allowed me to leave behind bad habits and create new ones with the guidance of a professional. With Andrew's help, I developed a post-experience plan that would set me up for success when I returned home.

In summary, I highly recommend Andrew Chapman as a guide and mentor for any young person seeking a transformative experience. He has a unique ability to design a program tailored to anyone's specific needs and challenges, and he will work with you to develop the skills and mindset needed to lead a fulfilling and purposeful life.
