๐ซถ๐ผLast week I got couples at the South London Wedding Show to sit down together and enjoy building their honeymoon vision board. It is a great way to think beyond the typical destinations and the classic idea od honeymoon but instead ask each other:
๐ How do we connect best?
๐ What passions do we share?
๐ What once in a lifetime experiences do you want to share with me?
If that is watching seals on a polar expedition let ๐it๐ be๐ it๐! Your honeymoon is yours to live, enjoy and treasure ๐ฅ
๐บThis couple was thinking of hiking, adventures in nature and an element of blissful relaxation as well.

Great training session today at the @travel_bulletin Sustainable Travel Showcase, beautifully hosted at @theclermontlondon. I enjoyed wonderful food and hospitality and had lots of fun chatting with fellow agents from all walks of life and playing bingo!
Most importantly I strenghten my connections with suppliers that strive to be sustainable and deepened my knowledge of destinations, rail travel, green initiatives and companies in the industry that go the extra mile to operate more sustainably and responsibly.
My warm thanks to @travel_bulletin for putting this evening together and to @visitaustria @explore.worldwide @eurostar @santikoscollection @visitbenidorm @spain who shared so much knowledge.
