Health & Harmony

with Joanna Castle

Spirited Journeys » Testimonials

I have been a single parent for many years and I have always had the yen to travel. It was never a case of when to travel, but who to travel with. One day I picked up the Link Up magazine and found my solution. Joanna Castle was organising a tour to India. Although my intention was to go to Egypt, India was close enough. The tour was set for the April 2006. Joanna has an amazing talent for creating memorable trips to exotic destinations filled with history, magical fun filled moments, breathtaking architecture, and a kaleidoscope of smells, sounds and impressions that will transform your life forever.

Since India I have travelled to Morocco and finally did get to Egypt with her.
Travelling is wonderful but tiring. Joanna has the ability to put together a tour that offers the opportunity to recharge your energy levels after hectic spells of travelling, site seeing, and yes even shopping. We go to a little village for a few days to ride bicycles or donkeys, a dawn balloon ride, or tea at the Winter Palace.
This year I am doing two trips with her. Can hardly wait till Bali in July. Oh yes, I almost forgot the most important part, her trips are sooooooo affordable.

I have been on 3 trips organized by Joanna and all of them have been good value for money, fun and very memorable.

The countries visited were Egypt, Morocco and India. All of these countries can be challenging to a foreigner and require an understanding of the different cultures and customs. Travelling in them requires a sensitivity to finding a balance between the home comforts we are all used to and the exotic locations which we wish to enjoy.

I can recommend Joanna as being very capable as a tour guide, planning her trips well and a person who expresses herself assertively when necessary but is relaxed and handles events and travel traumas with a positive attitude and creates a win-win solution to all experiences.
