🇺🇸🇬🇧 Sometimes the most powerful moments are unplanned...
Tour Leader Peter made a spontaneous stop at the American Cemetery in Cambridge. As they arrived, military personnel were laying a wreath at the American flag. Four members of the group, all former US servicemen, stopped in their tracks, closed ranks, and saluted.
A moment of pure respect. Unexpected honour. Complete spontaneity.
"They were incredibly grateful for this bonus stop they never knew was coming," says Peter.
This is what Expat Explore does best: create moments that matter.
