FROM THE ANCIENT SPANISH MONASTERY IN MIAMI
“Discovery is one of the great joys of travel. Your journey may lead you to discover unique places, uncommon experiences or things you didn’t even know existed,” states Lee Abbamonte.
Lee is one of the world’s most-traveled people (318 countries) and the youngest American to do so. Just back from South Africa and the North Pole, Lee is all about extreme experiences.
Traveling is the ultimate way to discover new adventures, tastes, and friendships. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to travel as extensively as Lee, but we can all find discovery and uncommon experiences in our everyday life. “We can all feed our passion for discovery by trying something new and by choosing the unexpected” explains Lee.
From Miami, a classic travel destination with more to offer than South Beach, Lee will be on site at the Ancient Spanish Monastery to share the unexpected. Built in Spain in the 12th century, dismantled in the 1920’s and shipped to the U.S., it is one of the oldest buildings in the Western Hemisphere.
Just as Lee enjoys visiting distinctive locales here and aboard, he also enjoys sharing his taste for the exotic, his top destinations and his travel must haves.
