What makes a destination worthy of your precious vacation days, hard-earned money, and Instagram grid? Is it the jaw-dropping scenery? The culture? The food? Or that indescribable feeling when you witness something that leaves you speechless?

Join me as I break down the world's top 10 travel destinations, complete with unfiltered commentary about why each earns its spot. From New York City's chaotic charm (though I'll tell you why Chicago deserves that spot more) to the postcard-perfect views of Santorini that somehow look even better in person, we're exploring what makes these places magnetic for travelers. You'll hear about my personal experiences eating carbonara while staring at the Colosseum, the ongoing joke about my husband's favorite city (Paris) that he's never taken me to, and why Tokyo claims the number one position as the ultimate travel experience.

Between destination details, I share a personal update on my cancer treatment journey and how travel continues to be my north star through difficult times. Whether you're a seasoned globetrotter with a dog-eared passport or someone who travels primarily through Google Earth with a good glass of wine, this episode celebrates both the grandeur and the small moments that make travel transformative.

The world is waiting, your knees won't work forever, and airlines might start charging us to breathe any day now. Pack light, laugh loud, and don't forget to take the damn trip. Your stories are waiting to be written, whether they involve spiritual awakening in Bali or your suitcase bursting open at the airport (because those make the best stories anyway).
