My love for travel didn’t start with a social media post or a guidebook. It started in the backseat of my parents’ car, next to my brother, with luggage stuffed into our trunk on a 1,000-mile trip from NJ to Florida when I was 8 years old.
Every single year, no matter how busy life got, my parents made one thing non-negotiable: The Family Vacation. They made sure we saw the world beyond our own hometown, showing my brother and me that the best education isn’t always found in a classroom, but in the places where people live, eat, and speak differently than we do.
Those trips growing up turned a spark of curiosity into a lifelong journey. My parents didn’t just take us on vacations; they gave us a new lens through which to see the world.
