Like choosing a favorite child, I could never pick just one (at least not out loud). My relationship with travel began by bungee jumping off the highest bungee in New Zealand, then I’ve continued to test any travel companion with similar adrenaline rushes including paragliding off a mountain in Nepal on my honeymoon and hot air ballooning over the deserts of Namibia. Even the kids had to be tested before entering our travel tribe. From hiking the infamous Tiger’s Nest Monastery in Bhutan with a toddler on my back to sending my 2 and 4-year-old down thirteen zip lines in Costa Rica…luckily, they both passed the test with literal flying colors. Every trip is memorable, whether it be full of adventure or beach cocktails, and that’s what makes travel so great. You never have to choose just one type, you can experience them all!
