Our Story
Romantic getaway or heavenly honeymoon?
If you're a couple in love looking for somewhere special for a romantic getaway or honeymoon destination, this website is for you.
How LoveBirds came to be
LoveBirds is the child of David and Victoria Sichler (that's me). We have been in love for an eternity. We know how lucky that makes us.
We would be described as both dreamers and hopeless romantics.
After losing my Dad in late 2005, we understood that you need to embrace love and life with both hands, and that fear of failure is a waste of time. So, LoveBirds was born in 2006 and I dedicate this website to my heroic and funny Dad, Barry (Boots) Seymour.
Where we came from
Yes, the stork did in fact bring us both into the world. Our parents were the only ones accepting packages that day and as they say, the rest is history.
David is an artist. A painter of an abstract world. So to LoveBirds he brings his artistic talents and sense of wonder.
I have a background in Tourism, Marketing and Web Design, so to LoveBirds I bring all that I have learnt throughout the years, plus a dash of exuberance, and a sprinkle of optimism.
Why you need LoveBirds to plan your next romantic getaway or honeymoon
David and I love to travel. At the very least we like to scoot off for a romantic getaway every Anniversary. We (well mostly I) spent hours and hours on the Internet searching for lovely places to rest our weary bones and minds. Usually we could only afford to go away for a night or two, so it was really important that the place we eventually chose was perfect for a romantic time away. Of course, that wasn't always the case.
So LoveBirds aims to take the hard work and fear out of planning a romantic getaway or honeymoon. Whether it's for a day or a week, we've handpicked properties that offer something truly special for people travelling in twos.
