Meet your soulmate as you travel the world!
Love knows no bounds, and sometimes it can surprise you in the most unexpected of places – even on a guided tour halfway across the world. This Valentine’s Day, we bring you a heartwarming story of romance blooming amidst the breathtaking landscapes of Scandinavia.
Meet Linda and Mike, a couple whose love story began on a smarTours adventure through Scandinavia. Their journey started like any other, with a shared passion for exploration and a thirst for new experiences. Little did they know that this trip would lead them to find not only the beauty of Scandinavia but also the love of their lives.
Scandinavia: A Journey of Love and Discovery
“We met on the tour but got to know each other on the bus,” Linda recalls with a smile. “We started sitting across from each other as we enjoyed talking and laughing together. As it evolved, we started doing things together like the funicular ride in Bergen, then in off-tour times, seeing sights in the city like the Aquarium, and dinner at Olivia’s a few times. He was armed with Rick Steve’s guidebook and would find fun activities, including the place with the best Swedish meatballs in Stockholm.”
Their connection deepened as they explored the stunning landscapes and rich history of Scandinavia together. From the majestic fjords of Norway to the charming streets of Copenhagen and Stockholm, every moment was filled with laughter, shared experiences, and a growing bond between them.
“Exploring countries that were beautiful, and learning their history,” Mike reminisces about their favorite parts of the tour. “I’d definitely go back to Copenhagen or Stockholm. The ride on the Flam railway in Norway was amazing.”
Choosing smarTours: A Testament to Trust and Quality
But what made them choose smarTours in the first place? For Linda, it was the trust and reliability she had experienced on previous trips. “I’ve been on a few smarTours before and am booked for South Africa. I’ve found them to provide quality guides and hotels,” she explains. Mike also chimes in, “I chose smarTours because I like them and have done 8 trips with them.”
Love Continues to Bloom
Their love for travel not only brought them together but also continues to strengthen their relationship. “Finding a shared passion for travel is important,” Linda emphasizes. “Travelers who travel well through the bumps in the road and share a curiosity about the world tend to make good partners in life in general.”
“Finding a shared passion for travel is important.”
As they look forward to their next adventure together – a journey through South Africa – Linda and Mike are filled with excitement and anticipation. “We’re planning on doing the South Africa trip together next year (and maybe more),” Linda reveals. “I had booked previously as a single (with a single supplement fee) but now look forward to avoiding that and going with someone who will keep me laughing and safe on a new adventure.”
Their story is a reminder that love can blossom in the most unexpected places, and that sometimes, the greatest adventures of all are the ones we embark on with the ones we love.
