Happy Holidays 

 

Happy Holidays!

 

Christmas is the most magical of celebrations. The holiday transforms a period of short days and cold weather into a time of warmth, generosity and renewal. It's that time of the year when we find ourselves sharing treasured memories with family and friends.  It is in this spirit that I encourage you to spend a few hours looking through your photo albums and re-living the special moments in your life.

 

Personally, I have always loved decorating with cherished photos. This year as I sorted through my photo albums I was reminded of how much of the world we've seen together on our BH travels. What started out as a small travel club has grown into a network of women throughout North America. Together we've shared incredible travel memories in countless destinations around the world.

 

Over the years we've received countless testimonials from our BH members sharing "life changing" moments that resulted from a BH tour. The cultural and humanitarian experiences that are a result of travelling throughout the world have provided so much inspiration to us all.  To paraphrase a testimonial from one of our frequent travellers,  "The destination was truly magnificent - almost now surreal - but it takes take second place to the culture and human experience." Jo-Anne H, N. S.   

Christmas is a special time when you get together with your friends and family to create new traditions or reminisce of the past year.  What a great time to share your travel dreams or make plans to for a "life changing" experience?

 

To remind you of our fantastic travel experiences I encourage you to incorporate a Christmas tradition into your decorating, from one (or more) of the countries we've visited. It could be something as simple as a small framed photo on your Christmas tree (many of our BH members bring back a Christmas ornament from each destination they visit). Another ideal keepsake is a Christmas CD from your trip. (St Paul's Cathedral Choir from England is playing on my CD player right now)

 

Nearly every French home at Christmastime displays a Nativity scene or crèche, which serves as the focus for the Christmas celebration.

Some homes in Germany have several Christmas trees, and in all towns across Germany, they can be seen glittering and glowing. As well, Germans make beautiful gingerbread houses and cookies.

 

These are only a few examples of Christmas traditions from some of the countries we've visited together. As you look at your own photo albums I'm certain you'll be inspired to remember your travels with some of the wonderful traditions that can be found throughout the world. (the internet is the perfect resource for this fun activity).

 

In closing, there is really nothing quite as magical as transforming your home with decorations that have true meaning and inspire you to remember the wonderful moments in your life.

 

From all of us at Broad Horizons, our very best wishes to you and your family.

 

Merry Christmas,

 

Susan Pearson

Broad Horizons, Founder

Hey we are back!  

  

Read what some of the ladies had to say!

 

"This was my first time using Broad Horizons.  I am a frequent traveller but wanted to go to Africa and was happy to find a company specializing in travel for women.  Of course Africa was amazing! But what made it extra special was the excellent itinerary put together by Broad Horizons and delivered by a great team!  I would definitely recommend Broad Horizons!"

Kim C., Markham, ON

  

"I have travelled with Broad Horizons on several occasions and have always enjoyed the camaraderie of my travel companions, the professionalism of the tour hosts and feeling safe/cared for. Each trip brings memories. The trip to Kenya tops the list - the beauty, the animals, culture, colour and the people. Oh, the emotions! The trip to the schools, meeting the children, seeing the hospital and the fantastic work done by the African Mission Services. How could you not help being drawn into the community and its people?   For me, the trip had a significant, even life changing, impact. I remember, before I left for the trip, noting on Facebook that it was " all about the animals". When I left it was all about the community, women's and children's rights, and the level of poverty. The animals were truly magnificent - almost now surreal - but they take second place to the culture and human experience. I will never forget my time in Africa and the care, professionalism, integrity and energy of Broad Horizons staff - especially Bonnie Hinschberger who was an inspiration. Traveling with Broad Horizons is an experience no one should miss."

Jo-Anne H., Lake Echo, N. S.

 

"Africa was a trip of a lifetime for me. I always dreamed of going but never imagined it would be so soon. Kenya is full of beauty...the animals, the landscape and its people. Broad Horizons took the headache out of all the details entailed in organizing a trip like this and allowed me to sit back and enjoy the ride that was Kenya."

Michelle B., London, ON

  

"No matter where, no matter what time of day, I always felt safe and taken care of. Another great trip!"

Teresa M., Calgary, AB
