Travel style
My kind of travel is all about experiences that fuel the soul. The trips that you can look back on that make you smile (whether that is with your best friend, significant other or family). I love being able to share local tips of the best restaurants, shopping or sightseeing. When traveling it is all about having a nice balance of activities and R&R.
