🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇦🇷This week Scotland play Argentina in the World Cup so we're shining a spotlight on the home of tango, wine, steak and much much more....🇦🇷 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

We have some amazing itineraries in Argentina. One of our most popular is The End of the Earth visiting the far south of Argentina, exploring Patagonia where you can take some amazing hikes and witness incredible scenery. If you're looking for something a bit less physical then we have In Search of Iguassu vising Buenos Aires, Iguassu Falls and ending on the beaches of Rio!

Did I forget to mention that we have 15% off certain South America tours this month?! Hopefully Scotland thrash Argentina which will make the wine taste even better! Check out the itineraries and the amazing photos....

This week is our Travel Expert Joseph! Joe joined us in December last year, here is a little bit about Joe and his travels.....

Where have you travelled to? Thailand, Malaysia, I'd Recommend Langkawi! Sri Lanka, India - did a lot here but the Golden Triangle trip is always a good starting point, USA Mainly the Mid-west, Canary Islands, Portugal, Netherlands

Where was your last trip? Canary Islands

Favourite souvenir from your travels? Does my Wife count?!

Best travel memory? Scuba diving off Koh Tao at night. Took a boat out at sunset then dived into the black sea, only navigating by the small beam of light from my flashlight. Weaving between coral stacks we eventually sat on the sea bed and turned our flashlights off, waved our hands in front of our eyes and 1000's of photo-plankton lit up, it felt like I was in space surrounded by green stars.

'We Know Because We Go' so if you'd like to book an appointment to come in and see Joe or one of our other travel experts click the link below to arrange an appointment and get £50 off your booking!*

🌎✈️March was a month full of adventure for our staff, our travel expert Joanna went to Japan, here's what she had to say..... ✈️🌎

🏔🗾⛩ "In March I travelled out to Japan (which had been at the top of my bucket list for the longest time!) for just over 2 weeks with my younger sister. For the first 10 days we joined a tour with One Life Adventures who had an absolutely incredible itinerary which included the Robot Restaurant, Sushi Making class and Kendo class (taught by the descendant of an actual Japanese Samurai!) amongst many more amazing activities. After we said 'Sayonara' to our new friends when the tour ended in Osaka, we travelled to Tokyo where we spent another 5 days exploring. During this time we visited both Disney Parks, Studio Ghibli and rode around the streets of Tokyo in a go kart dressed as a cartoon character." ⛩🗾🏔

Jo's highlights: Going to a Kintsugi workshop to learn the art of mending broken pottery with gold (the philosophy being that imperfections can be beautiful). Visiting the Fushimi Inari shrine at sunrise to beat the crowds!
