[ENCORE] πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ 2027 Bali Wellness & Wilderness tours (500 EUR OFF Launch offer) + New Egypt Nov'27 trip

Hi Reader, I hope you are doing great. Last week, we sent the email announcing our 2027 Bali tours being live at the same time as we announced our 2027 Galapagos. This was a mistake πŸ™ˆ. So this week, we are sending the correct and complete version of our Bali tours for next year, including a mention to the 500 EUR OFF launch offer. The mistake came because I usually pre-write parts of the newsletters in advance when I know I will be away for a while (eg. a month in Ecuador) in case I do not...

Hi Reader, I hope you are doing great. I am on my way home from Ecuador after 3.5 weeks here and wow, what a wonderful time I've had.
