Meet Valerie!
“Travel has always been part of my soul. Having family living in different states made it a constant to travel during holidays, or summer vacation. Spending some summers in Colorado, running around the mountains with cousins. Summers in New England, stuffing my face with seafood and seeing the historical places that started the country. Now that I am older and have started a family of my own, travel is even more important so that my little one can experience the same things I did at his age. Colorado is like a second home to my soul.

The mountains are peaceful and relaxing. I always have a place in my heart for Pagosa Springs, where I spent my childhood. No matter what it will always have a small-town vibe. Located just on the other side of the mountain from a ski resort, and being a wonderful location to flyfish or hike in the warmer months, makes this small town perfect for all year-round travel.
Las Vegas is another one of my favorite places. The food, entertainment, and just plain mood of the town calls to me. I am a foodie at heart, and the number of different locations that can be visited in just a single day are outstanding. The entertainment caters to anyone. May it be a Burlesque show, Cirque Du Solie, watching knights fight it out in an arena, dancing, or concerts, there is something for all ages to enjoy.
Out of my international travels, I love to cruise. You can visit many different ports of call, while still having a central location to come back to and know you will still have a good time. You meet many different people from all over the world, and learn a lot about the world from them. My most favorite of all locations that I have visited has to be Belize. The land is beautiful and still so wild. The people are embracing to their visitors and they are nothing but friendly. There is plenty to do there, like river tubing and zip lining, swimming with dolphins, seeing ancient ruins, or even relaxing at spas.”
