I feel like in my past life, I was bitten by the “wedding bug” or was it a “travel bug”?, that must be the only explanation for why I’m always super excited for all things wedding and travel. I visited a lounge with my girl squad last weekend and I couldn’t help but have nostalgic thoughts of Weddings and Travel after taking one look at these Heineken bottles – Heineken is currently taking folks on a trip to Amsterdam, and I really don’t mind travelling again.
Now back to the purpose of this post, I’m giving you 3 places you probably won’t think to put in mind when looking for the perfect wedding/honeymoon/girls trip destination and If you’re like me, then this post is for you!
