I love cities/towns such as Charles Town, WV, Carlsbad, NM, Brussels, Belgium. I’ll be visiting Vienna Austria next year. Please share more travel tips and B side cities/towns

Thanks Samantha!

They have some incredible restaurants and its proximity to Lake Seneca and Watkins Glen make it an ideal place to visit!
I’m also biased having spent summers here as a child with my grandparents.

Mackinac Island is a must-see, as well as Sleeping Bear Dunes (which I believe was included in the TC episode!) and Pictured Rocks in the Upper Peninsula.

This year, my husband and I decided to travel to Spain but, instead of staying in Barcelona, we rented an airbnb in a little coastal town 50 minutes south. That way, we can enjoy the tranquility with locals and just take the train to the city whenever we want to go to a concert or museum. We can’t wait!

Always love going back. Have traveled to most places on this list and totally agree. Hope to see the rest of them someday!
Thanks Samantha
