“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” – Saint Augustine
Where did you go on your last family holiday? How did you feel?
I’ll bet it was beautiful.
Because there is nothing more beautiful than experiencing a family holiday which creates lifetime experiences and memories. A holiday which connects and strengthens bonds so that when you fly back you are closer than when you left.
Great food, great weather, great laughs = beautiful family memories.
If you are hooked on creating those special moments for your family, perhaps there is also a career in it for you as well. Imagine working in travel, following your passion & supporting your family with it too.
Oprah famously said “follow your passion, it will lead you to your purpose“.
