Most interesting or unique trip I’ve worked on:
This would probably be my own trip to Italy. It was my first time to Europe and with so much culture I wanted to make sure I made the best use of my time there without over-extending myself and becoming too busy to enjoy it. I needed to familiarize myself with culture and foreign travel to ensure I was prepared and organized. It was a great trip with the contrast between Rome, Naples and Pompeii which was quite busy to a week on the Isle of Capri which was very romantic and relaxed. Definitely a memorable trip!
Best travel tip:
Be adventurous. I find the most memorable moments in my travels are the times I stepped outside my comfort zone to try something new and/or unexpected. Whatever it is, snorkeling, salsa lessons, tequila tasting or even a cooking class – try to do something that you wouldn’t normally do or have a chance of doing. These are the things you will remember most.
If I had $10,000 to travel anywhere in the world:
I would probably start out with my arrival in Venice, Italy. I would mix a few days experiencing this amazing city with a side trip through Tuscany. I would then leave Venice on a Cruise through the Greek Isles, arriving in Rome, before returning home. Or maybe Scotland & Ireland. I would love to hang out in a pub for a while and get to know the locals. Oh how about a river cruise in China! Hey-give me $10,000 and I will figure something out!
Bliss-ism:
I find the world to be an amazing and beautiful place. There is so much to learn, see and experience. My love for travel and the way that people connect when they are together, experiencing a new place is so amazing to me. We get so caught up in the hassles of our day to day lives that it’s easy to forget how to take in the world around us. Some of my most amazing moments in life are sitting with my husband on a plane, holding his hand and the excitement we both feel anticipating what the trip ahead has in store for us. Standing together inside the Sistine Chapel looking up at the amazing artwork of Michelangelo and then looking at each other as if to say “wow, I can’t believe we’re here!”, or even pausing at the edge of an infinity pool, looking out over the white sand into the turquoise ocean smiling at each other saying “let’s never leave”. These are the moments I will remember for the rest of my life and moments that get me through the tough times. I hope to help others experience their own special “remember when” moments.
