The Active Gourmet Travel

Hi I am Hubert, the hippo mascot of the active gourmet travel. I was named after St Hubert who was born in Toulouse around 600AD. He is the patron saint of hunters and it's my job to hunt in the forests of France and Italy for very special places to cycle, walk and enjoy my beloved pique-niques.

Why would a travel company, choose me, a portly hippopotamus, to represent their company, you might ask?

Remember, my sleepy, relaxed appearance belies an amazing turn of speed. This epitomises the active gourmet travel's ability to move and change direction when needed - on tours, they say, you must expect the unexpected and be able to accommodate that ....

So why would you read my blog?

Well since I get to hang around the active gourmet travel a lot, I know heaps about travel and I thought I might give a few insider tips to those of you thinking of heading for Europe or New Zealand.

Come along for a stroll!
