I’ve always believed that the most romantic trips aren’t about five-star hotels or perfect Instagram photos they’re about those quiet little moments you don’t plan.
Like sharing airport snacks because neither of you is really hungry, or laughing because you both got lost but somehow found the cutest café ever.

Over the years, I’ve traveled to places that made me feel more connected, more relaxed, and honestly more in love not just with my partner, but with life. Some destinations felt soft and cozy, like being wrapped in a warm blanket.
