  • City Break: Explore a new city or revisit an old favorite. Visit museums, try local cuisine, and take in the sights.
  • Food Tour: Embark on a culinary adventure and taste your way through different neighborhoods and restaurants.
  • Outdoor Adventure: Go kayaking, rock climbing, or another outdoor activity that gets your heart rate up.

Cultural and Intellectual Pursuits​
