Treasure Island Beach, Laguna, CA

Treasure Island Beach in Laguna, CA was the first beach I ever visited and it's remained my absolute favorite.

Mykonos, Greece

Every local was kind to tourists and the amount of bright colored buildings made it feel like I had stepped away from reality. This is the first Greek island I visited and nothing will ever top my first chicken gyro that I had at Sakis Souvlaki. -Melanie C
