When travel is open again, where should you go based on your quarantine persona?
Binge Babe - Experience the backdrop of so many movies firsthand! May we recommend Kauai, Hawaii where you can envision dinosaurs, overgrown animals, and surfers (okay, that last you'll probably actually see)
Home Gym Enthusiast - Go flex those honed muscles kayaking, surfing, hiking, and so much more in Costa Rica! Round out your day with a well-deserved soak in natural hotsprings.
Workaholic - Let's find you someplace without service so you can put your phone down, step away, and relax. May we recommend a Caribbean private island?
Backyard Boozehound - There are some really well-known wine destinations, but may we recommend someplace less expected - how about Telemark, Norway?
Sleeping Beauty - Go someplace where naps are an art form! May we recommend Barcelona, Spain, where you'll be able to celebrate your travel with a rewarding siesta?

The Pacific coast is a photographer's dream. Thor's Well in Yachats, Oregon is no exception. This bowl-shaped basalt hole is active in low and high tides. It's dangerous to get too close, so keep your (social) distance!
