LETTER FROM the EDITOR
APPRECIATION TIME Gratitude. It’s one of those words that is often used, but not necessarily practiced. Getting caught up in our day-to-day lives and losing sight of all the good things around us is far too easy. Sadly, it can take losing something, whether expected or not, before you realize how fortunate you were to have it in the first place. My point? Look around, stop and smell the roses. Tell your loved ones you love them, spoil your pets just a little more, do something nice for a friend. You’ll never regret it. Speaking of being grateful, I feel incredibly fortunate to have a fabulous team with whom I curate and execute this magazine. Without them, it wouldn’t be possible. A huge thank you to John, Bonnie, Ryan, Misty, Marie, Justin, Jason, Tas, Rene, Joann, Rachel and every single one of our amazing contributors. You guys are the absolute best! Seeing the world and sharing my stories is another thing for which I am grateful. For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated by other cultures and experiences in places both near and far. This issue is packed with amazing destinations based on my experiences, as well the experiences of our travel-savvy writers. Scottsdale. Snowmass. Hawaii. Tokyo. And so many places in between and all around the globe. One thing’s for sure, we love to travel! Thanks to you, our loyal readers, Gio is growing by leaps and bounds every day. Please help spread the word. We’ll be forever grateful!
