www.womanthismonth.com 47 December 2012 | A Zesty Adventure If you are looking for the best place to welcome in the New Year or want to escape the madness of Christmas, seek expert guidance from the team that knows the hottest spots in the world. Have you ever found yourself bored in a foreign city? Although the streets may be bustling, it’s tricky to know where to unearth truly exciting experiences. Enter Lime & Tonic. The social travel site provides access to exclusive experiences in the world’s most fabulous cities by carefully selecting the best, and most memorable, pastimes that each destination has to offer. The global organisation has teams in some of the world’s most dynamic cities. Currently, the teams are active in London, Prague, Slovenia, Dubai, Sydney and Rio de Janeiro as well as blogging for other large cities all over the world. Why is it different? The site offers the perfect mix of life-saving tonic and zesty fresh inspiration. You can find out about all types of adventures across the globe, with choices ranging from private events to culinary experiences, relaxing weekend getaways to heart-racing adventures. The concept helps freshen up what can be a boring experience and gives you a hand-picked selection of the best ways to spend your time whilst in these cities. Forget the run-of-the-mill ‘what to see’ suggestions. Lime & Tonic thinks outside the box and lets you into an elite variety of events. What does the site offer? For each live city, you can select the “Top 10 Guide”. Here you will see what the team in the particular city that you are visiting suggests. Each event is available at a discounted price and shows how many people can attend in addition to providing reviews. Simply find the experience you like and book it immediately through the site. The “Events” tab makes you privy to confidential dinners and activities. Beware though. These are only available to book for a limited period of time — normally one hour. You can also choose to host events and experiences yourself through the website. It’s the perfect way to network and make friends if you are new to a city. Additionally, you can recommend bars, clubs, spas, hotels, etc. Anything that is hip or new the Lime&Tonic crew wants to hear about it. Is it user-friendly? To take advantage of the site’s offerings, you simply need to sign up — which is free — and every time a new event is organised you will be notified. You only need to pay as you go, with no upfront membership fees, and similar to airline frequent flyer programmes, points are earned as credits. Best of all, Lime & Tonic donates a portion of each experience to the Dubai Autism Centre and SNF Children Development Centre. Visit www.limeandtonic.com. Online By Alison Coldridge
