It was an honor to visit the legendary Venetian Resort & Casino in Macau during a recent business trip with my husband, Josh. Josh was speaking at a conference for 6,500 financial services professionals from across Asia. It was an extraordinary opportunity to spend time in this city of almost one million people, which resembles Las Vegas by the sea. I've dreamed of visiting China my entire life! It was so special to finally come with Josh. The Venetian Macau is renowned for their hospitality...

For years, I’ve dreamed of walking through the bustling souks of Morocco and tasty eating cous cous in a tagine with my husband, Josh. The only difference between those dreams and our recent reality? This time, we had a very special and very small travel companion: our 8-month-old son, on his very first international adventure!

Bringing a toddler on an international trip might sound daunting (and it sort of is), but I'm here to tell you that Lucca, Italy, is an absolute dream destination for families with little ones. We recently returned from a magical trip with our 16-month-old son, and it was filled with so many joyful, toddler-friendly moments. If you're considering a trip to Tuscany with your tiny traveler, Lucca should be at the top of your list!
