Where to Wander Next? Los Angeles Travel and Adventure Show 2019

 

Being at the 2019 Los Angeles Travel and Adventure Show

felt like a reunion with my travel friends.

It was great fun to walk the aisles and see familiar faces and places from around the world. It feels a bit like being a kid in a candy store as I want to go everywhere! I hope to see you next year at L.A.’s Favorite Travel Show on February 15 – 16, 2020 at the Los Angeles Convention Center, so you can discover your new favorite destination! You can: “Discover the World In One Weekend, All Under One Roof.”

I made a video from my day at the show so you can see who I spoke with and where I want to travel NEXT!

Where am I going next? I am going to Sandals Montego Bay in Jamaica! I cannot wait to go scuba diving.

What is on my bucket list? Papua New Guinea is one of the places I most want to go and explore. Did you know there are more than 800 languages in PNG?

Talofa! I went to Samoa and loved exploring the islands. We stayed at Monono Island where there are no dogs, no cars and you can walk around the whole island in the afternoon.

Fiji Islands can take you to the entire South Pacific including Samoa, the Cook Islands, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.

I visited the Solomon Islands in 2017 and wrote about the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Guadalcanal for Smithsonian and Saturday Evening Post.
