I said that last week was our most exciting week (so far), but I might have to correct myself.

While this week didn’t include any wild animals, trains, or luxury hotels, it did include a 10 year US visa for Mark (hooray!), a terrible dentist visit for me (not hooray) and the best news of all – a truly inspiring sponsor.

We found out on Monday that Travelstart – who just so happen to be my first point of call whenever I’m booking a flight online – want to partner with us on our Travelling with Diabetes journey. What great news!
Travelstart South Africa has only been around for about 2 years, but the company itself (started in Sweden) is celebrating their 10th birthday this year – next month, in fact. They’re going to be running some crazy cool competitions, but I’ll keep you posted about those when they happen.

What I love about Travelstart is that they’re unlike any other flight booking website (you can read my ode to them on my personal blog here). For starters, they’re easy to navigate, and even easier to change the details of your booking (date, departure city, arrival city etc) to see when would be cheapest. They also consistently have the best deals, and they give you the whole price (including tax) so they’re not just making it look like it’s a good deal – it actually is a good deal! Best of all, though, they’re human. If you have any problems with your booking, you can call them and speak to a real live human being. And we all know how rare that is these days…

All of this adds up to a one in a million company, with heart. We’re so excited to be working with them! They totally get what we’re trying to do with this journey – to spread positive diabetes awareness around the world. And they’ve made it possible for us to do it…
