Travel Life was born out of a love and passion for travel. Having worked, lived and breathed the travel business for 25 years, a magazine that would connect people with a world that I love seemed like an amazing next step. There are so many places to explore and very few of us have the luxury of unlimited time. So when you have the opportunity, why not make the most of every minute and escape the ordinary? For some that may mean getting a glimpse of the culture and character that a destination has to offer. Others may thrive on getting right into the heart and soul of a destination by immersing themselves in a local activity or volunteering their time to a local cause. Whatever travel means to you, this publication is designed to enhance your travel experiences through helpful tips, cultural insight and unique travel ideas.
Most importantly, we hope that Travel Life will inspire you to think outside of the traditional “travel box”. I believe that a great travel experience is meant to stimulate your senses, engage your mind and elevate your spirit. I have always found the most fulfilling journeys are had when you look far beyond hotel star ratings and frequent flyer benefits. The secret to unforgettable memories and stories that are worth telling long after your trip is to discover the local culture and spirit through every aspect of your travel including your accommodation choice.
This issue gives some great insight of how to overnight in style with unique and boutique hotels that represent the character of their destination as well as tips on renting a private villa to ensure it is perfect for the occasion.
Each issue of Travel Life will give you a rare, behind the scenes perspective through the minds of tourism icons and travel professionals. In this issue we are challenged to change the world and our lives through travel by Bruce Poon Tip, Founder of G Adventures. His inspiring story and entrepreneurial vision will move you to step outside of your comfort zone and look at the world differently.
El Corazon “The Heart” is a travel guide included in this issue of the magazine that will provide some helpful tips and ideas of how to get to the heart and soul of some of Mexico’s most exciting destinations. I believe that the depth of these destinations will ignite a drive to learn and experience more and that each place will warm your heart as it has mine.
This issue of Travel Life is the first of many to come. It is my personal wish that you enjoy every page and make the most out of each of your travel experiences. Remember, life may be about the journey but travel is very much about the personality of each destination.
Wishing you unforgettable travels,
Tammy Cecco
