Where are the best places you've traveled to so far?

I love going to the Caribbean, and in particular I love a Caribbean cruise. The Eastern Caribbean cruise ports give more of that classic Caribbean, beautiful beaches, crystal waters.

Turks and Caicos is a beautiful island. They have beaches and family-friendly all-inclusive resorts that are just amazing for families to visit.

Another trip I took last year that I loved was a seven-night Mediterranean cruise. It sailed from Rome and it was just such an easy, fun way to explore multiple destinations. I think we hit five cities on the cruise within seven days! We explored places like Pompeii, Pisa, Barcelona, and more. But the best part is, you only unpack once! Once you're on the ship, you have somewhere familiar to go back to.

Finally, if anybody's looking for the must-do destinations in Europe, I would say you have to get Venice and Rome on your list. We were able to see and do a lot and they really are easy to navigate, even if you don't speak Italian. So those are really cool places to visit, too.
