Embark on a Journey of a lifetime with FW LUXE to the magnificent city of Istanbul
Traveling to a foreign land can be intimidating for some and overwhelming for most. SO many tourist sites to visit, enjoy culture, get in shopping, figure out distances & enjoy local food all before the trip comes at and end....
Trying to squeeze in education & inspiration into such trips would not work for most.
It needs a trip on its own!
That is why in
OCTOBER 2024
travel with Sakina of FW Luxe for 8 DAYS in an Unforgettable Art & Design Trip is going to be such a rewarding and valuable experience.
