What's on your bucket list, lets talk about taking trips together!

STOP before you go: reduce your stress level  through self-reflection.

When you're always on the go it's easy to forget to reflect and rejuvenate your mind. In turn, stress [piles up and burdens get bulkier, yet you keep piling on the commitments without even asking yourself: 

• Am I working on things that are important to me?
• Am I on the right path to my future destination?
• Am I on the path to burnout? 

When your schedule becomes tighter and tighter, your mind is prone to becoming narrow. You tend to focus so intense on your to-do list that you forget about your healthy living. try a fast-acting relief, try slowing down

Here are a few suggestions. 

One of the most memorable and exciting adventures you can take as a couple is a trip to a foreign destination. Beyond discovering culture, cuisine and the best attractions a location has to offer, taking a vacation with your lover is a quick way to test the waters in your relationship.

Hold my hand and don't let go!

Because let’s face it, there’s a great possibility that things could  go wrong. You may get lost, miss your flight, lose your luggage, or encounter some not-so-friendly locals. And it’s through these challenging experiences that you can learn about a person's, you are  with,  ability to solve problems and compromise. So, if you’re ready to put your relationship to the ‘travel test,’ here are a few trips of a lifetime for couples to consider:

Get up close and personal with the ‘Big Five’ on an African Safari: There is a variety of world class African safari’s in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda; to name a few, that will allow you to come face to face with the big five—lion, elephant, rhinoceros, leopard, and even a  buffalo. And for couples looking for the thrill of the chase, a walking safari allows you to experience the scenery while walking along the same paths of lions, giraffes, elephants, and more. A canoe safari; another great option for those on a quest for adventure, lets you sail through Africa’s majestic rivers and set up camp along various designated areas.

Escape to paradise and sleep-in over water villas in the South Pacific Islands: Thrill-seeking couples looking for romance can check out Tahiti and the French Polynesia for exclusive resorts featuring over-the-water bungalows, surfing, diving, and more. While backpacking, couples can head to Fiji to get off the beaten path.

I'm finally at that stage in my life when I might want to explore the city of love, Paris, France: Chances are you’re not surprised that the country famous for the Eiffel tower; the world’s most recognizable metallic structure, makes the cut for trips of a lifetime. With a delightful combination of romance and history, the city of love is perfect for couples looking to dine in charming restaurants, stroll along the River Seine, and tour some of the best museums in the world. Well she hs to special to make me do this!

Kaui, Hawaii is calling me!

Explore history and spectacular views in Kaui, Hawaii: 
Kaui, the fourth largest Hawaiian island, offers mountainous lush landscapes, oceanfront villages, triple waterfalls, and much more. Couples can take in the spectacular views via helicopter tour, backpack through Kalalau Trails, and take a scenic drive around this diverse tropical paradise. OK I will be repeating an experience here because I visited this Island the year my first born celebrated his first  year and took his first steps. That was  30 years ago. I would love to see if the island has changed much since then.

check out that view!

I might even like to get lost in the narrow alleyways of Santorini, Greece: From swimming in spectacular beaches and sailing in clear blue water, to discovering fascinating archaeological sites and villages, this magical Greek island provides a variety of activities for wandering couples.Greece will help you realize the difference between stopping to enjoy life and stagnating.

Cuba!

OK I must admit I never really thought about Cuba having much that would interest me in the past...until I saw these  classic convertibles cars. I'm adding it to my list without hesitation now.... to head to Cuba and be driven around in one these convertibles. by a good looking female taxi driver. Might be a "cafe con leche" moment. "con poco azúcar" maybe some "lechon" with "moro arroz" a side order of " plátanos fritos" some "yuca"a  cerveza Polar... after the meal.. Wow. the real experience, after years of the copied version  in little Havana Miami Florida, it would be right on time....

Hmm! I can even smell the aroma already.

Maybe  it's time to stop wasting the years.... you can't hold on to the years that are already gone!
