Welcome to another edition of Virtual Vacation! Summer is officially here and it's definitely increased my wanderlust by about 1000%! But travel (especially internationally) is still risky, so I'll be spending the weekend convincing myself I don't want to travel. Portugal? No thanks! 🙅

Okay, who am I kidding? I'll actually be spending the weekend planning my dream itinerary.
