Our founder Ron recently returned to Paris and had quite the adventure...
"24 August 1999, I arrived into Paris at the age of 18. It was my first journey overseas and I was off for my OE.
I had been invited the year before by a family friend, Manu, to come to Paris and work in his cafe. My original plan had been to head over for 6 weeks and do a Contiki. Manu’s offer changed everything.
My time in Paris, working and living in the 7th arrondissement (central Paris) and 3 blocks from the Eiffel Tower, fundamentally changed the way I view the world. It was a catalyst moment that changed the trajectory of my life towards eventually becoming the travel monster I am today…
24 August 2024, 25 years later to the day, I returned to Paris in search of Manu.
There was a small hiccup though, I knew his first name only. Additionally Manu had left the café in 2002, and his family had sold the establishment in 2004 and were also long gone…
Watch to see if I was successful!"
A word from our canal boat guide in Amsterdam! @rederijkooijcanalcruises
Did you know many of Amsterdam's iconic buildings are slightly crooked? Built on wooden piles, the shifting swampy ground has caused these charming structures to tilt over time.
A canal boat tour is the perfect way to take in these unique sights and explore the heart of the city from a different perspective.

When in doubt, do as the locals do - head to the mountains for some forest bathing and beautiful vistas.
