Travel style
You can know a place by the people that live and love there. I long to experience the local culture and atmosphere of the places I visit. To see the uniqueness of the art, romance, history and biodiversity of all the pin-drops on our planet. I also know that "Rest is Best" and a vacation should be a balance of much-needed respite, as well as an enjoyment of all to see. We all have our unique needs, as well, and I love to make sure all feel like their needs are met and are included.
