Lifestyle

International Travel Tip: Finding a fare to Los Angeles, San Francisco, or Las Vegas and then a flight to Salt Lake City, is probably more economical.

We are frequent travelers and love seeing new places. We love cities, cultural sites, man made and natural beauty. We are excited to exchange again!

It is fun for us to meet people and to have them show us around and we do the same when they are in the places we know well.
