Best destinations to visit this Valentine’s Day
Your love language might be the key you need!
Call it the season for two or cuffing season if you like, but Valentine’s Day is that day we all want to shut everything down and lay cuddled up somewhere in the arms of our beloved. And with that comes a different type of shenanigan that has lovebirds up at the crack of dawn, thinking of the perfect gift for their significant other. Is it chocolates? A sleek gaming console? Or for the extra creative, a dreamy getaway that’d put Aladdin’s carpet to shame? The possibilities are endless!
Let’s be real — when it comes to love, there’s no such thing as too extra. And if you think there’s anything called too extra, here’s the sign you need that love means going over and beyond for your heartthrob. So, grab that box of chocolates, leave the gaming console at home, and let’s talk about jetting off to that dreamy paradise.
However, what makes a destination a dream come true? Is it because of its popularity or because it fulfills our needs for fun and joy?
As the saying goes, love begets love, so you want to prioritize a destination that speaks your love language in volumes. But how do you know where to go when you have little idea about your travel love language? Consider reading our treatise on travel love languages to help you enjoy a tailored travel experience.
In addition, we’ve put together a list of destinations that speak different love languages. Even if you don’t travel to these places exactly, you have an idea of what to look out for when love is a priority on your list. Get ready for a love-fueled adventure.
