Traveling with Heart 

Hi, I’m Monica. Travel has really changed for me throughout the years. When I was younger, I was interested in seeing every landmark and running furiously from site to site. Nowadays, I enjoy a more slow approach to travel where I appreciate a more heartfelt approach to seeing the world. Rather than rushing from place to place, I try to slow it down and savor the smaller, more meaningful experiences, ones that tend to live in your memories years down the road. I cherish time spent with family and friends, lingering over a meal where conversation is the star of the show; the sparking cocktail sipped while watching the sun dip below the horizon; walking hand-in-hand through a beautifully landscaped garden.

I believe in allowing time for discovering hidden gems, whether it is a cozy coffee shop or wandering down an unexpected lane.  It is also important for me to be a respectful tourist and to show consideration to the communities that welcome me.

It is my whole-hearted hope to share with you the approach to travel that I have grown to love.  My travel guides are thoughtfully curated to this end.  Come explore with me!
