Travel information and links

When taking a trip abroad it is always wise to check out some background information, so that you have some idea of the culture and customs of the country you are visiting. This is perhaps even more important if you are seeking a restful retreat or alternative and  therapeutic style holiday. Having a little knowledge about the place you will be visiting may help you to feel more relaxed and safe. Whilst most holistic holiday venues are well prepared and will be able to guide you, it never hurts to find out something about your destination first.

Below are a few contacts which might help smooth the path.
