Travel style

I love a relaxed approach to travel. Book plenty of time to experience and indulge, but also read at least one book and go to bed at a decent hour (because you never really know when a toddler is going to wake up).

From the moment I contacted Fora, I knew I was in good hands. Not only did Liz provided excellent advice, but she also went above and beyond to ensure I had a smooth and enjoyable trip. She was available to answer my last-minute questions even after my trip had begun. I highly recommend Fora to anyone seeking exceptional travel planning services.
