Favorite Travel Memory

My favorite travel memory will always be Santorini, Greece. Not just for its breathtaking sunsets, whitewashed buildings and endless blue sea, but because it’s where my fiancé proposed. Overlooking the caldera as the sky turned shades of pink and gold, it felt like time stood still. That trip will forever be special to me.
