Valentine's Travel Round-Up

I’m a person who firmly believes that Valentine’s Day can be any day and you shouldn’t have to pay twice as much for dinner, flowers, candy, or a hotel room to show that you love someone. In fact, if you spend less money taking me on a trip and making memories than you would taking a weekend getaway over the holiday, I think you’re smart. If you looking to add a little more romance to your next getaway, I’ve rounded up all of my daily Valentine travel posts I made each day on Facebook.

February 1: Do you enjoy a good road trip? If so, make it dreamy by planning one of these most romantic road trips across the country.

February 2: Americans have decided the new most romantic destination is no longer Paris, but a city in the United States instead. See which city came out on top.

February 3: You may think that Rome is romantic all on its own, but if you’re someone who likes the macabre and less traditional aspects of Valentine’s Day, head to Basilica di Santa Maria to view the skull of Saint Valentine, the patron saint of lovers.

February 4: Looking to take your special someone to an equally special dinner? OpenTable has compiled their list of most romantic restaurants in the US. 

February 5: Do you believe in fate? If you do, you might want to book a flight to Amsterdam with your other half in order to kiss on the Magere Burg (Skinny Bridge), where it’s believed you will then be in love forever. 

February 6: I love the UK and I aspire to eventually go back and explore cities outside of London and Edinburgh. Maybe one of these romantic escapes will be on my list. 

February 7: Pink is the official color of Valentine’s Day. Okay, it’s probably red, but pink is a close second. Make memories with you sweetheart while taking some gorgeous insta-worthy pictures at one of these pink sand beaches.

February 8: You’ve heard of Lover’s Lane, but Love Lane in Brooklyn is actually a very popular destination for couples to take photos and short, romantic strolls.

February 9: Love doesn’t always have to be romantic. You can love friends, pets, beautiful things in life. Maybe you believe Paris is still the City of Love and you want to plan a trip there, then stop by the I Love You Wall. 

February 10: Flowers are the fall back gift for Valentine’s Day, but they don’t last. Give them the gift of all the flowers with a trip to a botanical garden. There are plenty of free ones or other gorgeous gardens near where you live that you can visit, but here are 15 of the most beautiful botanical gardens. 

February 11: America isn’t the only place that celebrates Valentine’s Day. It actually is a holiday around the world. Learn about the traditions of 15 other countries for this day.

February 12: Looking to propose this year? Whether you decide to do it on Valentine’s Day or any other day, here are 5 ideal places to get down on one knee.

February 13: On the pink trend, take your special person to somewhere pink and beautiful and possibly get them some pink accessories for your travels. 

February 14: There are a ton of traditional places where people want to kiss their significant other – Top of the Eiffel Tower, an overwater bungalow, a gondola in Venice – so why not visit some of these lesser known kissing spots.
