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 among
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 as though it's a place that so many
Brits love to visit (being British myself this
means I fit into this!), 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 I will always love Spain and can definitely
ages. imagine myself going there many more times
in the future - I have been there on Holiday
I do however have a soft spot for quiet, around 15 times so far.
idyllic towns that do not have many tourists
- I have visited small towns in Tenerife but If you are more into cities, there are also some
one idyllic town that is easily accessible is amazing big cities in Spain, such as Madrid and
Altea in the Costa Blanca. It is very close to Barcelona.
Benidorm but it completely different (most
people there are Spanish!)

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!
Have you ever been to any of the Disneyland Parks? I would love to know! Please
