For some, it was a return to Egypt after many years. For others, it was a lifelong dream finally coming true. 💙🇪🇬
And what a time they had!!
So many wonderful photos, fun moments and happy faces coming out of our recent Egypt adventure. What a group!
A big thank you to our Explorers for sharing all these beautiful moments with us. 😊
We're a little late to the party (okay, quite late 😅), but our September Explorers of the Month deserve their moment in the spotlight!
Meet Annette and John! 💙
These two have shared plenty of adventures together, and their advice for fellow travellers is pretty simple: "Keep smiling" and "Go with the flow".
We love their attitude!

Anyone else want to go to Egypt and ask an astrophysicist approximately 400 questions? 🙋
Good news: @astrokirsten is coming with us. ❤️
Next August, our Explorers will be in Luxor for a total solar eclipse, with more than six minutes of totality and Dr Kirsten Banks there to explain what we’re seeing and help us make the most of it.
Now, if you could ask Dr Kirsten one question, what would it be? 🤔
Judging by their WhatsApp chat, this was a group full of laughs, inside jokes and plenty of fun along the way. 😊
And of course, no night in Greece is complete without a bit of singing and dancing!💃
A little glimpse of Bulgaria through the eyes of someone who calls it home. 😍
That’s our Radina, and next year, our Explorers will get to experience the Rose Valley with her.
It doesn’t get much more local than this. 🌹🇧🇬
I’ve been looking through the photos from our Explorers currently on the Budapest to Istanbul adventure, and one thing really stood out to me… the architecture! 😍
It’s just incredible. And I’m not sure everyone realises how much beautiful and unusual architecture there is in this part of the world. That Romanian tiled house is just something else, right?
Wow!
