  Travel is an integral part of life, not a break from it, and it deserves proper planning and careful preparation. That is why we created Forward Travel, to help enthusiastic travellers to Travel Better, Travel Further and continue to Travel Forward. Travel teaches us, it challenges us, it surprises us, and hopefully, it creates happiness, with memories that deserve to be shared. We specialise in tailor-made travel to places we know well so we can give you expert advice and firsthand knowledge. I have been fortunate to have travelled to over 60 countries my destination knowledge is fairly extensive.. Show less
