Top 5 Gift Ideas for the Traveler in Your Life (Or, You Know, Yourself)

Little says “I love you!” more than the gift of travel. According to a 2016 17,000-person survey, a whopping 29 percent of us say exploring via a vacation brings more happiness than having a baby, and about half of those polled said a holiday brings more joy than their wedding day. In fact, 77 percent book a trip when they need a mood boost.

So for a gift that keeps on giving, consider one of these travel-related presents.

Undiscovered Sunsets was a long time in the making, even if I myself didn’t realize it. During my time at the University of Northern Iowa, I studied abroad in New Zealand. Upon graduating, I bought a one-way ticket to France, lived with a French family and studied with classmates from Turkey, China, Russia, Germany, Italy, and everywhere in between. In 2010 I began teaching English as a foreign language. This job quickly took me to China, where English teachers were in high demand and within three years, I began working in a 5-star hotel, speaking Mandarin throughout most of my day. In total, I lived abroad for 7 years.

I consider Undiscovered Sunsets to be the perfect mélange of my personal experience traveling the world and my professional experience working in the hospitality industry.

I look forward to designing your next adventure!
