15-20 entrepreneurs with the common belief that sharing knowledge is a benefit to all travels to Spain. Several of our participants have joined more than one trip, and they still get valuable experiences, which their growing business benefit from.
On a Refuga trip you get the time and the opportunity to immerse yourself into one of your projects. You get a break from everyday duties, as food will be taken care of for you. You will also get peace, fast internet speed and beautiful surroundings. We do everything to give you the best conditions to dive into your own projects and actually reach those goals you have had on your to-do list forever.
If you only plan on going in order to work, then you will miss some of the most valuable parts of Refuga:
A network. The network will consist of likeminded entrepreneurs who freely and gladly share their best tips and own experiences.
The participants are always a very mixed bunch of people. Some are new, others have big businesses, and everyone has different experiences, which is shared in themed sessions about challenges and tips.
The open work environment in the big Spanish house results in work corners in many places. This means that you can easily ask others for advice if you should stumble upon a tricky challenge. This help can give many pages of notes which you can use to further develop your projects once you get home.
There are many of our previous participants who wants to go again. We are very happy and proud of this, and it always creates a nice ambience on the trips. However, we do expect that a maximum of 75% of the participants have been on a similar trip as we strive to have room for new entrepreneurs and their new and fresh input.
Daniel tells the following about the trip with Refuga: The feedback I got during the session by the pool was significant. As soon as I got home, I made my first liquidity budget, hired a part time worker, and got a much bigger overview of my growing business. It made me so confident I applied for the Danish version of Shark Tank.

Of all the conferences, events, and things alike I have participated in Refuga is by far the event I got the most out of especially when it comes to networking. If you need a little push from likeminded people, then go on a trip with Refuga. I can only recommend it and I already look forward to next time!

I have participated at Refuga once. It was an incredible experience with serious work, football, delicious food and unforgettable bike rides in the mountains.

I have gone on trips with Refuga 6 times´, and all 6 times have been amazing experiences. Every time I have come home with new unique experiences in my baggage and new acquaintances which have been priceless for both my company and to me personally. The sparring and the network you get on a trip like this is not something you can buy for money other places. I have certainly not been on my last trip!

To go with Refuga has brought my company big value and new possibilities. I have met a group of people who each and everyone have contributed, so that I have been able to progress as a human and company owner. I can warmly recommend a work trip under the sun of the south.

Lars Skjoldby – Skjoldby & Co
I have participated in several networking events as a self-employed person, but the networks I have gained during my 5 Refuga trips to Spain are without comparison the best, strongest, and most valuable networks. Refuga have given me an extra gear. Anyone who knew me before my first trip can confirm this.
