Where do you start?

How will you get there?

Need a place to stay?

Keep your eyes on the unexpected.

Local foods, local drink, local lore: sometimes the most memorable meals are serendipitous.

Travel can be found right at your fingertips.

Be the Travel Agent! Zara would like to visit the Dominican Republic with her long- time partner. They’re on a budget of $3500, but would like to see as much as possible during a week-long visit in May. They’d like to unwind, enjoy the waves, eat local cuisine, and take a historical tour. Let’s plan a trip for these two!

What are you waiting for?
