A new year means more opportunities for new adventures! If you’ve been itching for a change of scenery, then perhaps it’s about time to take that well-deserved vacation. With so many beautiful places to see and visit, we’ve decided to seek advice from Ms. Maria Paz Alberto, President of Ark Travel Express and Vice-President of Travel Innovators Inc. As a travel agent, Paz has had the opportunity to visit various destinations abroad and domestically, so we’ve asked her to recommend 14 must-visit places for 2014. Take a look at her top picks below!
