Editor’s note

Editor’s noteI contemplated setting travel goals for 2021 but decided against it. While it would give me something to look forward to, the current travel restrictions make me uneasy about booking trips months in advance. Instead, I’ve chosen to go with the flow and see where the year takes me.

This month’s edition celebrates love, whether you want to spoil yourself or that someone special in your life. We take you on a journey to some of the world's top romantic destinations, from Udaipur in India to Cappadocia in Turkey.

South Africa has a string of romantic accommodations, where you can whisk your loved one off to during the month of love. Our 8-page feature is bound to tempt one into booking that dreamy escape with their other half.

For those who want to travel solo, we offer tips on how to plan a Self Love Vacay in 5 easy steps.

There’s no better way to win someone’s heart than with a picnic set up with striking views. We suggest several idyllic spots in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg.

I hope you enjoy our first edition of 2021. May the rest of the year fulfil your wanderlust and may you say yes to more adventures.

Until next month.
