One-Day Tours

Oxford - October 24th
Beautiful city, made prominent by its medieval university, where you can see many of Harry Potter sights, including the grand staircase where Mrs. McGonagall greets the children and the Great Hall that provided the model for Hogwarts Dining Hall.



Cambridge - November 20th
A perfect day with my ladies in an organised trip by CSA to visit a university town. One of the must-do is punting on the River Cam with those funny students who knows a lot and if you're lucky they will be super cute.



Cadbury's Chocolate Factory - Febraury 27th
A day to enjoy feeling like a child again... "Mmmm, liquid chocolate! Discover how it's made and hold on tight, you could be in for a few surprises! Learn about the most important ingredients of milk chocolate, and the way Cadbury combines them to create that unique Cadbury taste."



Warwick Castle - March 26th
The castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1068 within or adjacent to the Anglo-Saxon burh of Warwick. It was used as a fortification until the early 17th century, when Sir Fulke Greville converted it to a country house. It was owned by the Greville family, who became earls of Warwick in 1759, until 1978.

Turista a llarg termini

Quan visites un país com a turista, el que més t'interessa és veure tantes coses com sigui possible.

Quan vas a viure un país, ho vols veureu tot, però alhora vols sentir-te que formes part de la comunitat, i penses que ja tindràs temps per visitar coses. El que més vols és sentir-te que formes part del dia a dia: anar a fer la compra al Tesco, anar al cine, anar a sopar a un McDonalds, poder quedar-te algunes nits a casa sense res a fer i no tenir la sensació de que estàs perdent una oportunitat de conèixer el país.

Però quan vols fer tot això pel simple fet d'intentar formar part d'un país al qual no pertanys, te n’adones que ets un turista més però a llarg termini. Un personatge inadaptat que intenta adaptar-se al màxim, però que al cap i a la fi és una visita temporal.
