Tomorrow is February 1st. And you know what that means…it’s almost Valentine’s Day! I’m a hearts and flowers kind of girl, so I can’t help getting all mushy around this holiday. And as I get older, the list of people–and pets–I acknowledge on this holiday grows. It’s not just about romance. To me, it’s a solid occasion for expressing love. And what better way to express love, than to offer a card or a gift to say I’m thinking about you? This is especially true for someone that lives far away.

Remember also that my travel memoir, A Tour of the Heart:  A Seductive Cycling Trip Through France, makes for a romantic gift idea for men and women. If you’re a lady alone on this push-button holiday, I can assure you that you’ll find it to be an appropriate read.

Looking for something more experience-oriented? Let’s say, a climb up a big mountain or a cycling holiday? Create memories with your special someone by snatching up one of my unique tour picks at Adventure Travel Love for you and KOTO.
