The minute this pandemic is over, everyone and anyone who once had the travel bug, will have the travel bug ten times over again. After being stuck in one place for what may be several months, reaching for a plane ticket will be such a gift.
How will you pick where to go?
Here are some places I have been and the reason to book your ticket to these countries, towns and cities.
Alicante, Spain where you can explore Spanish culture while in a bikini with a churro in one hand and sangria in the other.
Amsterdam, Netherlands where you can be the tacky tourist visiting some of the most famous places in the world: Anne Frank House, Red Light District, Heineken and Van Gogh.
Barcelona, Spain where the party never stops and you can get the best of both worlds: the beach and the tourist attractions.
Brighton, England where you can spend time traveling solo, feeling welcomed and safe in a cozy beachside hideaway.
Cefalù, Italy where you can find a tiny town on the outskirts with a stunning empty beach to tan and snorkel before wandering up the hill to the (only) restaurant with the most deliciously fresh food, you eat there every single day.
Dublin, Ireland where you will fall in love with a city. It’s the colorful doors in the residential areas, the live music at the pubs, the cider, Phoenix Park in the fall and cruising beneath the Cliffs of Moher.
Escuinapa, Mexico where you lay on the beach day in and day out, without technology, with a book and a margarita in hand.
Florence, Italy where you fall in love with a country and a city all in one. Italians are the most fun, loving and kind. Italian food is the most delicious. Italy is the most beautiful. Can you tell Italy is my favorite place in the world? Can you tell Florence is my favorite city?
Grace Bay, Turks & Caicos where you will fall in love with the tropics, spend too much time in the sun on the white sand beaches, burn a bazillion calories snorkeling, eat the most delicious food with the most amazing locals and dream of going back every single day from the very minute you leave the island.
Granada, Spain where you will be reminded of home.
Krakow, Poland where you will be sobered by history.
London, England where you will fall for the most magical city and the sexiest of accents.
La Felce, Italy where you will fall head over heals for Tuscany and its Chianti wine.
Pick a place, any place!
