Favorite Travel Memory

When a winter transportation strike in Paris forced us to explore on foot, we experienced the city’s character in an intimate way. Plus, it came with a hearty supply of streetside roasted chestnuts.

Favorite Travel Memory

At Acadia National Park in Maine, my 3-year-old daughter's energy and infectious spirit led us on a hike. Her enthusiasm was a force of nature itself, reminding my husband and me of the joy of the outdoors. At the summit, surrounded by stunning vistas, her curiosity intertwined with the beauty of nature etched a heartwarming memory of family and exploration.

Favorite Travel Memory

My very first trip to Europe was to Barcelona and Madrid. I fell in love with the Gaudi architecture and have many fond memories of late-night clubs and partying. That trip launched my love for travel. I also have fond memories of a mother-daughter trip to London, dragging my mom everywhere on the Tube.
