What was your most memorable travel experience?

My honeymoon was a trip I’ll truly never forget. My husband, Stephen, and I traveled all throughout Thailand and then ended our three-week adventure in the Maldives for pure relaxation. The South East Asia portion provided us with amazing cultural experiences and activities. Not to mention, visiting an Elephant Sanctuary was one of the coolest excursions we’ve ever experienced. But, spending the last five nights in an overwater bungalow was such a special end to our whirlwind trip.

Which destinations do you return to again and again?

Italy, Italy, Italy! The amazing food, culture and hospitality have me wanting to go back every year. I’ve traveled to Rome, Florence, Venice, Tuscany, Cinque Terre, and the Amalfi Coast. There’s just something so unique about the simplicity of the food and the warm hospitality that keeps it at the top of my list.
