I’ve always loved the idea of combining #travel with general self-improvement. Whether it’s working on language skills, finding ways to give back to the places you visit, or even just combining your trips with physical challenges and fitness, I think bettering yourself or helping others makes each trip much more rewarding. •• With that in mind, I want to start sharing some of my favorite trips and tips in that vein, especially with summer approaching. •• One of my favorite #hiking trips: Cinque Terre. When you take the long route through the hills, you wind between the five preserved villages of Cinque Terre, navigating through coastal woods and clifftop views of the sea below. One of the most beautiful walks in the world. •• What’s your favorite hike in the world? . . . . .
