“And if travel is like love, it is, in the end, mostly because it’s a heightened state of awareness, in which we are mindful, receptive, in dimmed by familiarity and ready to be transformed. That is why the best trips, like the best love affairs, never really end.” ― Pico Iyer

And we seek out romance for so many of the same reasons. So if you are yearning for a weekend getaway to fulfil your romantic wishes and satisfy your wanderlust—look no further.
