Travel style

Just like everyone has a story, every place has its own story. One of the things I love to do when I travel is to learn the history of and story behind the places I visit. This helps me choose the best accommodations, restaurants and things to do. I love a high-end, luxury vacation as much as I love a budget-friendly one. Unique lodging always adds an extra element of fun too. I like to hit some of the major attractions but also save time for local experiences that many tourists miss.
