FALL 2015 BEST TRAVEL DESTINATIONS

By Heidi Freeman

ROTTERDAM, NETHERLAND

SThis spot is

Amsterdam’s wacky cousin, full of explosive style, a sprawling city

center that is constantly growing and attracting like-minded

people.

PUERTO PLATA,

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Obviously, the DR has housed many tourists seeking refuge from cold, bitter winters in

the US and Canada, but now there is a new

option to visit instead of the resort-heavy

congestion of Punta Cana.

ISTANBUL, TURKEY

Political unrest hasn't deterred tourists. This

city is absolutely breathtaking. It is truly east meets west as the

city is victorian, european, asian, and middle eastern, with

plenty of cultural influences.

THE CATSKILLS,

NYAn interesting and

relaxing part of New York full of culture and beauty. This spot is the new weekend getaway for tired New Yorkers

looking for some R&R in nature and beautifully

curated B&B’s.

MILAN, ITALY

Milan is still the fashion capital of the world. The

thing with mMilan is that it’s not just about

fashion, its about design and art in general. The city

houses many beautiful buildings, good food,

and interesting people.

OMANYou’ve never thought of

this one, have you? Oman is a beautiful country.

Muskat, the capital, feels like you're walking through

an illustration from The Arabian Nights. With white villas, jeweled women and elegant palaces, this place

is a place for those who treat themselves well. Full

of beautiful, ancient culture and beauty, Oman

is an interesting next destination.
