WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD YOU GIVE A COUPLE LOOKING FOR A ROMANTIC GETAWAY?
Planning a romantic getaway involves finding the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. By carefully selecting the destination, activities, and accommodations, you can create a memorable and romantic getaway that strengthens your bond and creates lasting memories.
WHERE IS A GREAT TRAVEL LOCATION THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE GO?
I had the pleasure of recently traveling to the Azores. While it had been on my bucket list for a number of years, the flight flexibility wasn't great for travelers coming from America - until recently! With a new direct flight from New York, these volcanic islands are now a very feasible trip! I would describe the Azores as Europe meets Hawaii, with the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. You can expect thermal pools, scenic hikes, and menus full of fresh fish, local cheese and pineapple.
WHAT’S IN YOUR CARRY-ON?
I'm an avid reader and while I reserve my carry on for essentials, I always make room for two or three books. I'm old school and have yet to adopt a kindle habit. I like to find libraries in hotels where I'm staying and exchange a finished book for a new one. I have several books in my collection at home that I've picked up from all over the world! Other than my books, essentials! You can never guarantee a checked bag, but you can guarantee your carry on.
