Here\u2019s a summary of our travel highlights and the places we loved most (in no particular order). &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>1. Popoyo, Nicaragua<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Sometimes we want to keep destination gems like Popoyo remote to avoid overtourism. But we feel like this beach town in Nicaragua still has a few years of solitude left to share with individual travelers. Stay at <a href=\"http:\/\/mesonnadi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Meson Nadi<\/a>, and surf those wonderful waves!<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>2. Palestine Territories<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">This was the most eye-opening travel experience to date thanks to our incredible guide Nab. Contact him <a href=\"http:\/\/nabraz12@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to explore Jerusalem and Bethelem from a true local\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>3. Tel Aviv, Israel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">We all know that Tel Aviv is the capital of cool. What you may not know, is that this city is also a jackpot for foodies. Get a taste of delicious Middle Eastern cuisine at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theportsaid\/\" target=\"_blank\">Port Sa\u2019id<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>4.&nbsp;Tirol, Austria<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The more conscious we become of the negative impacts of travel on the environment, the more we appreciate the places close to our home base \u2013 such as the beautiful mountains of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tirol.at\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tirol<\/a> in Austria.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>&nbsp;5. Saint&nbsp;Petersburg, Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">This city really impressed us \u2013 from the stunning architecture and the wonderful food, to the kind people. Be sure to visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/fabergemuseum.ru\/\">Faberge Museum<\/a>, and if there\u2019s time, hop on a train to Moscow to extend your stay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>6.&nbsp;Sofia, Bulgaria<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">We love exploring cities by foot. And Sofia has proven to be of the best capitals for people like us! What made it all even more enticing, was that we were there on the 8th of August 2018, which meant the entire city turned into a live stage for wedding ceremonies and parties. Quite the sight to say the least!<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>&nbsp;7.&nbsp;New York City, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">New York never gets old. We returned to this dazzling city for a long weekend to combine <a href=\"https:\/\/castrips.org\/destinations\/new-york-autumn\/\" target=\"_blank\">business<\/a> with pleasure, and came across <a href=\"https:\/\/farm.one\/\" target=\"_blank\">Farm One<\/a>. Sign up for to explore this technology-powered, vertical farm that supplies herbs to some of the city\u2019s finest restaurants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>&nbsp;8.&nbsp;Jos\u00e9 Igancio, Uruguay <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">This former fishing village is home to beautiful beaches, lovely local boutiques, and most importantly, an incredible variety of tasty food at <a href=\"http:\/\/paradorlahuella.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Parador La Huella<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>9.&nbsp;Barra Grande, Brazil <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The great thing about having <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rupp-pr.com\/s\/work\/img\" target=\"_blank\">clients <\/a>around the world, is that we actually get to visit them.&nbsp;The journey to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kabrubrazil.com\/home\" target=\"_blank\">Ka Bru Beach<\/a> entailed<em>&nbsp;the <\/em>road trip adventure of 2018! We can only highly recommend discovering the incredible beachfront location in this secluded peninsula for yourself. Tip: Fly via Salvador and take one or two days to explore the colorful capital of Bahia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>10.&nbsp;Berlin, Germany <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">It started off with ITB Berlin in March, followed by a couple of weekend trips from the south of Germany to the north. After years of disliking this city, we finally fell in love. We can\u2019t wait to&nbsp;be back&nbsp;at<a href=\"https:\/\/www.itb-berlin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> ITB<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/berlintravelfestival.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">BTF<\/a>&nbsp;in 2019!<\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Check back next month to find out which destinations we\u2019re visiting in 2019!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">We\u2019re sharing our ten travel highlights of 2018, hoping to inspire your travel planning for next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1571,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[369],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1570","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-insights"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rupp-pr.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rupp-pr.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rupp-pr.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rupp-pr.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rupp-pr.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1570"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/rupp-pr.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1570\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rupp-pr.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1571"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rupp-pr.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rupp-pr.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1570"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rupp-pr.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
