Travel Destinations
As part-time travelers, we definitely have to get a little choosy with our vacations. Over the years, we have had the opportunity to travel to some fun places. But there are still plenty on our bucket list. Here we share some of our top picks for travel destinations for female travelers.
We enjoy places that are off the beaten path, but not too far off the beaten path. We like places that are accessible, but not overrun with tourists. When it comes to beaches, well, we like exploring them. But we do not enjoy sunning ourselves on one for hours on end. We are not into the party scene and therefore do not know where to find the party scene. Sorry about that.
We just do our best to find fun places that fit within our budget and allotted time away from work. Sometimes we travel to a European country for a couple of weeks. Sometimes we take a road trip through our home state. And sometimes we explore a different state. If we are lucky, we get to do all three! There is no right or wrong place to travel. The trick for us is finding a mix of destinations that are fun, affordable and keep the wanderlust at bay.
If you have any suggestions for travel destinations for female travelers, please let us know. And if you have any questions about the places we have visited, do not hesitate to reach out. We would LOVE to talk about travel with you.

Australia Update #3: Reefsleep
