Mod Holiday: Our Favorite Places for Adventure and Relaxation

The ModSquad crew calls various cities around the world home. Located in more than 70 countries and speaking over 50 languages, our Mods have quite an array of interests and hobbies. That’s reflected not only in the diverse array of projects at which they excel, but also in the impressive range of destinations they seek out when they’re not at work. From the Mayan Ruins to annual festivals, our Mods love to see and experience much of what this world has to offer. Join us as we hear from the Mods, who are eager to help us discover some exciting and exotic places that are perfect for rest, relaxation, and adventure.

Dartmoor, England
“Badgers Holt is set in a valley amongst the rolling hills of Dartmoor, with little to no internet connectivity.

— Darren McGrory

Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, France
“This small town in the south of the France is known for its wild horses.”
