Just a quick getaway to escape the cold

When a dear friend and a fellow lover of Mexico confessed he’d never ventured to Baja (let alone Valle de Guadalupe), my mission was clear. I had to make our one day in Valle de Guadalupe unforgettable.

With a strong interest in maritime history, I recently saw that Cherish Tours was offering its Blissful Panama trip. The itinerary included a diverse blend of cultural experiences plus some down time at an ecolodge all while supporting Cherish’s mission of empowering female owned or managed businesses. It was travel with a purpose at its finest!

We live on Maui, but had always wanted to experience another one of Hawaii’s islands, and Kauai felt like the perfect choice for a short getaway. Known as the “Garden Island,” it offers a completely different vibe, wilder, greener, and more untouched. We wanted to explore its waterfalls, cliffs, and hidden beaches, and see how its natural beauty compares to our home island. It was also a chance to slow down, reconnect with nature, and discover a new side of Hawaii that’s just a short flight away.

When Sapa suddenly blew up on social media — with misty mountains, cable cars disappearing into the clouds, and people calling it the “Europe of Asia” — it instantly made its way to our travel bucket list. So when seat sales and matching schedules finally aligned, we packed our sweaters, booked our Klook tickets, and set off for a five-day Northern Vietnam adventure — chasing mountain views, cozy weather, and bowls of steaming pho.

My best friend moved to Frisco, Colorado a couple of years ago and I love visiting her. My boyfriend and I stayed at her house for a week and decided to tackle a couple 14ers together.

My family and I are from Albania and like to visit every couple of years. I traveled with my mom for the first few days. Then, my boyfriend flew in shortly after so he could feast his eyes on the beauty this country has to offer.

I transformed a business trip in to a soul retreat at one of the best spas in the world, Carillon Miami Wellness Resort.

We went to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Epic Universe

I traveled to Chiang Mai with my friends to experience its mix of culture, nature, and cozy cafés — the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure.

We decided to travel to Costa Rica because we wanted an adventure that combined nature, wildlife, beaches, and culture, all in one trip. Our goal was to explore different areas of the country rather than staying in just one spot. Costa Rica is famous for its incredible biodiversity, lush rainforests, volcanoes, and stunning coastlines on both the Pacific and Caribbean sides, so we knew there would be so much to discover.

I previously traveled with Cherish Tours to Tanzania and was so impressed with that experience, that I knew it was only a matter of time until my next trip with them. The Moab itinerary was a blend of adventure and cozy comforts. I really wanted some “down time” on this trip, and the thought of disconnecting from the world for a while through a glamping experience was intriguing. Also, I really like the idea of traveling with a group of women supporting fellow women owned businesses. It is travel with a purpose for which I am passionate.

This was a 15-year anniversary weekend getaway without the kids.

The Finger Lakes region of NY is renowned for its wineries, waterfalls, and of course, lakes! It is absolutely beautiful, especially in the summer. Plus, there are plenty of cute small towns and unique museums to visit.

I’d always been fascinated by the ancient Mayan culture, so visiting the iconic ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea was at the top of my list. I also wanted to unwind on Tulum’s beautiful beaches and explore its magical cenotes hidden in the jungle. It was the ideal destination to connect with nature, dive into a rich cultural past, and enjoy the tropical sunshine.
