Better U is one day when you concentrate on spoiling yourself while developing new skills, all absolutely for free. With over a 100 activities, we guarantee that you will be able to try things you have never done before – from speaking a foreign language to sushi rolling. Don’t forget to bring along your friends and family and of course leave your wallets at home!”
