Do you remember how your gut dropped as your first plane launched into the sky, and your first look through the cabin window into a sea of clouds? What about the empty stretch of road racing past your window on your first family road trip? It’s precious memories like these that inspired Lori Metze to pursue travel and capture it with her writing. “Our family travels gave me my fondest childhood memories,” Metze explained in an email. “Details such as sleeping on two chairs pushed together or my first glimpse from the air of a city I had never before seen have an excited emotion attached to them that I can’t seem to live without.” Lori Metze has been a luxury travel writer for about ten years and currently writes for Medium. She typically averages one trip a month and rarely travels to the same place twice. “For the most part, once I have been to a place, I am eager to explore elsewhere, especially since one person can’t physically see the entire world in one lifetime,” Lori said.
