Day One of #Givepassion has arrived! Give thanks to a friend who you are grateful for with unique Verlocal experiences and help them discover and pursue a new passion.

For every $50 spent on gift purchase on Verlocal, get $10 worth of cash points!

One of our users, Angel from Boston, shared with us her joy of gifting a Verlocal class to her best friend on her birthday:

“It was such an amazing and unforgettable experience. I surprised my friend for her birthday by bringing her to a succulent making workshop. My friend loves collecting succulent. This is the first time she is making them herself. Our teacher, Sunny is so sweet and nice and very clear about directions. She gives suggestions without pushing so you can feel free to be creative. Doing something new and extraordinary during my friend’s birthday meant a lot to both of us. We will definitely go again!” 


You can be like Angel too & win yourself & your friend a FREE Verlocal experience.

I’d take a stroll along the beach over visiting a cafe in a heartbeat. I have a thing for standing desks, tinkling with the latest gizmos and ironically, disconnecting with the digital world once in a while to connect with nature. My passion is to connect people through stories and experiences. If you are a Verlocal user, host or ambassadors and want to learn more about how best to connect with our community, I’m the person for you. Feel free to connect anytime!
