Getting to know your CM - A bit about Abbie
For many years I have loved travelling,
visiting many different places all over the
world. With Summer Holiday season upon
us, it's only right to include a bit about
where I have visited and loved.
A place that I always love to visit is Spain, as
I feel it's a place that so many Brits love to
visit, as the weather is gorgeous and it is
only a short flight away. I find Spain is such
a good place for people of all ages wanting
different types of holidays. There are tourist
areas all over, such as the Costa Blanca and
Costa del Sol. These areas can have a
nightlife for adults and also lots of activities
for children - that is what makes Spain so
appealing!
I also love the Spanish Islands (Canary
Islands and Balearic Islands). I have visited
Mallorca, Ibiza and Tenerife many times.
These are again very similar to mainland
Spain with lots of things to do for many
ages. I will always love Spain and can definitely
imagine myself going there many more times
I do however have a soft spot for quiet, in the future - I have been there on Holiday
idyllic towns that do not have many tourists around 15 times so far - keep reading the

Benidorm but is completely different (most If you are more into cities, there are also some
people there are Spanish!) amazing big cities in Spain, such as Madrid and

Places such as Hollywood Boulevard and Santa

Toluna Team Building Day
On Friday 29th June, we had a team building day and we were all under the impression
that we were going to be doing sporting activities at a farm...
Boy were we wrong!
Our managers tricked us and we ended up at....
YES, DISNEYLAND PARIS!
It was an amazing day! I was sadly ill so I couldn't go on any big thrill rides, but it was
still a great day with plenty of fun to be had! Flick through the photos below to see
more!

the most interesting to go into the
magazine. This month, Minnie1956

which attracted a lot of
responses.

This evening a group of us are going to
a talk and cheese-tasting by Appleby's,
a local cheese-maker here in
Shropshire. I'm looking forward to
trying (and no doubt buying) some of
their delicious cheeses. Although I like
some continental cheeses I think you
really can't beat British cheese, we have
such a wide variety, some of them very
specific to certain areas, and it's always

Updates
New Summer Products
We have some excellent Summer products
available - check them out and let us know what
you think!
There is the Toluna backpack. Pack plenty of
water and some energy-boosting snacks and grab
the Toluna beach ball. Now get to the beach or
the park and let the kids (and yourself) run wild.
If you’re taking the little ones along, it’s a good
idea to bring the new Toluna Cap for protection
paired with the Toluna Reflective Bracelet for
when it gets dark.
There is also a Toluna USB Hub available which
will come in very handy when needing to charge
multiple things at once before a big adventure!
To be able to redeem these excellent rewards,
please visit our rewards centre.
