"Spending time with the Frogs in their own country is such a fantastic opportunity. There is such a rich culture here, and in some ways completely different to ours, so it's nice to know exactly when you put your foot in it culture-wise." - Benji Hall
'I'm just excited about finishing up on the complete opposite side of the world - a place as exotic and foreign as New Zealand. But first, I can't wait to see how these little Kiwis appreciate all things French - especially the local Breton dance!' - Antoine Bourgin

'Coral reefs, secluded beaches, luxurious resorts and honeymoon nights tucked up in an ice bed covered in reindeer skins. The days of walking down the aisle in a stuffy old church are long gone.

Flying High -
Tip of the Month
Combat Jet Lag! Jet Lag is caused by many factors: the environmental differences (climate, magnetic fields, cultures, time shifts), the airplane environment (lack of air, humidity, pesticides, pollution and exposure to radiation). Not surprisingly, the effects of jet lag attack us physically (swollen feet), emotionally (nerves) and mentally (disorientation). Avoid swollen feet by moving around and wearing comfortable slippers or socks. Most airlines suggest simple exercises to keep the blood moving around your legs and ankles. Avoid mental disorientation by avoiding any beverage that isn't water and load up on water (eventhough a lot of us like to take advantage of those free spirits!). By avoiding these two side effects of flying you will also be minimising your emotional jet lag.
