I love the outdoors and travelling (obviously). I'd love to see all of Europe & Asia and spend a couple of years travelling & working overseas. I'm heading off on my first contiki - European Contrasts on 24th June 2012 - then spending 2 weeks in Denmark with family. My favourite trip so far would be Bali this year. I went over for 2 weeks and did everything from harvesting rice to riding ... More

    hey! the London Explorer isnt a tour, its like an accomodation & tickets pack really. I found it ok, but not as helpful as I'd hoped haha. The best part about it was the accomodation but I probably wouldnt get it again. (sorry contiki!) Contrasts was AMAZINGGGG! The format has changed this year a little I believe though. We didnt have the option of Corfu Sailing so we stayed in the resort. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED! It was so good to have 3 days of chilling by the pool in the sun or chilling on Georges Boat. It was great to have 2 nights in most places, I wouldnt recommend any less, I still felt a little rushed at some points, but I still got to see everything I wanted to (even if it meant almost running around Paris haha). But yeh. Contrasts = LOVE!!!! ps - If you get either Lasse (Danish Tour Manager) or Ben Price (British Coach Driver) or both of them, it'll make the trip a bagillion times better!!!!! Theyre seriously amazing! haha
