TRAVEL
The holiday season is a time for slowing down and reconnecting with family, outside of hectic day-to-day responsibilities. While many travelers opt for domestic destinations to be closer to loved ones, this time of year is a great opportunity to head out to a far-flung locale, as it's not traditionally a peak season for international travel.
