16 | Viking Explorer Society News Discover where our team is looking forward to exploring this year as inspiration for your own travels. Gavin Digital Marketing Executive I want to visit Giza and Luxor in Egypt and immerse myself in Egyptian history. The awe-inspiring pyramids and ancient temples along the Nile bring the stories of this ancient civilisation to life. The blend of archaeological treasures and the wildly different landscapes make these cities dream destinations. The opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza is the perfect time to start planning my Egypt trip. Ethan Sr. Trade Marketing Executive Tuscany is on my travel wish list this year. I haven't been there yet and it has the perfect mix of countryside, vineyards and big cities. Plus, I love Italian food, wine and coffee, so I'd be pretty happy eating and drinking my way around the country. Anneliese Sr. Manager, Copy and Content Strategy I'm dreaming of exploring Athens underneath the summer sun. I would love to wander through the cobblestone lanes of Plaka and find a local eatery where I can dine on Greek salad and saganaki drizzled with honey and thyme. Travel destinations our team can't wait TO EXPLORE THIS YEAR Trent Sales and Events Coordinator I've always dreamed of visiting Vancouver. I'm captivated by its natural beauty—majestic mountains, the sparkling ocean and lush forests are all within close reach of the city. I'm equally excited to dive into the city's cultural scene with its diverse cuisine offerings and world-class museums. As an outdoor enthusiast, I can't wait to experience what Vancouver offers—hiking, skiing and kayaking to name a few. The city promises the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Lydia Documentation and Fulfillment Executive Reykjavik, Iceland would be the next destination on my wish list as it showcases unique architecture, as well as incredible natural landscapes. I've heard great things about the thermal baths and spas, so I would be keen to visit and relax here. I am especially excited to see the northern lights in this city, which would be the first time for me. I think it would be an enjoyable experience ideally, to rent a car and drive along the south coast and enjoy the scenic views of Iceland.
