Take a spin at the globe sitting on your mantel and point to where it stops. Does it look like somewhere you'd want to visit? The world is full of endless exploration with unique destinations just waiting to be found. From hidden islands, to mountains that stand 15,000 feet into the atmosphere, our limits are exponential. But no matter where we go, it's often what we take with us after disconnecting from our daily lives that seems to stay with us long after we've returned. Over the past six months, we've had the chance to uncover some of the most remote destinations in the world as well as some hidden gems right here in the States. Our travels led us to unimaginable beaches in Curaçao to the most outstanding golf courses in the Dominican Republic. After visiting so many beautiful places, we realized one thing was constant— with every adventure we took home something eternal, a piece of each experience that lives on forever. I invite you, for a moment, to be taken away from whatever it is that you're doing and let us share a piece of our experience with you, on this first perspective travel journey. We hope this issue of VUE takes you someplace different, whether it be a future travel endeavor or simply a vacation from your mind. Safe journeys. Cheers! V U E N J . C O M 16
