Kevin was invited recently to visit a friend in London. “It was one of my oldest friends Spencer and his wife Bimbi asked me to come on a surprise visit.” After humming and hahhing, Kevin decided to clear his diary and go. “I will never forget the look of sheer surprise and delight on Spencer’s face when I saw him. He was over the moon I had made the effort and it was worth the trip for that alone.” Kevin’s mantra is never turn down an invite especially when it comes to travel!
