YOUR NUMBER 1 STOP FOR COMMONWEALTH TRAVEL

Travelling is something that everyone enjoys, which is why every year many people jet off around the world visiting places on the hard to reach corners of the planet. These might be gap year students visiting various cultures before they start university, they could be graduates who have just received their degree and now want to see the world, or they could be holiday makers or travellers of any age.

Travelling can of course take in any part of the world one desires. However, there are also plenty of countries within the commonwealth that are desirable and far reaching, as well as being popular destinations for travellers and holiday makers alike.

We specialise in commonwealth travel which means we are dedicated to the many different countries which all share one thing in common – The Monarchy. For the Commonwealth of Nations, Elizabeth II is their head of state, with the largest six of these countries including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Jamaica. The UK was the first country to become part of this union and the foundations of it were made during the colonisation of many countries of the British Empire, which spanned the globe.

There are many different things that one should make sure they do before visiting any commonwealth country or indeed any of the countries of the world, including making sure you are up to date with all of the travel advice attributed to that particular country. You should also be aware of the nearest embassy and any vaccinations you might require.

Australia is great destinations and despite the long flight you have so much choice is such as vast country where you can enjoy cities such as Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane as well as beautiful beaches and sunshine. Australia really does have something for every one with such a diverse culture and great weather making exploring such a pleasure. What are you waiting for?

Then there is New Zealand, with places to visit like Wellington and Auckland and much more from winter skiing to summer on the beach or walking in the breath taking mountain scenery. For the adrenaline junkies you will find all kinds of activities such as bungee jumping, sky diving and white water rafting as well as many more extreme sports you probably have not heard of yet.

South Africa enabled you to combine a safari to see the amazing wildlife of Africa with a beach holiday in one of the many vibrant coastal resorts such as Cape Town. South Africa is also the venue for the 2010 FIFA world cup and as a result roads, hotels and airports have also seen major investment meaning South Africa will be a major tourist destination for many years to come.

All that sun, sea and sand with endless hours to explore thousands of tiny islands with amazing turquoise lagoons and white sand as fine as powder. The Maldives have a reputation for the abundance life to be found underwater in the crsytal clear warm sea. Scuba divers and snorkelling are one of the most popular "to do's" but you could also try a picnic on your own Robison Crusoe island or a spot of night fishing and hook one of the record breaking catches that are known to have been landed.
