REPLAY! Good travel advice does not have an expiration date, and neither does this episode. Most people plan a summer vacation and come home needing another one.

She makes a strong case for the Azores as Europe's answer to Hawaii, explains why the Catskills are more interesting than people give them credit for, and breaks down why wellness retreats in Iceland, Scandinavia, and Costa Rica belong on your radar if real rest is the goal.
