TRAVEL DREAMS DO COME TRUE!
Do you see an exotic travel show and say, “I wish I could do that some day?” Many of us believe travel is important for self-growth and hope we won’t regret growing older without traveling enough. In a recent survey by Hilton Hotels & Resorts, 86% of those who self-identified as travelers said they set goals for themselves and used visualization to motivate themselves to go from travel “dreamers” to travel “doers.”
Derek Hough is a professional Latin and ballroom dancer, and two-time Emmy winner for “Dancing With The Stars,” where he honed his abilities to motivate others on – and off — the dance floor. The choreographer, singer and dancer will star in the Broadway version of “Singin’ in the Rain” for the 2016-2017 season, playing Don Lockwood, the role Gene Kelly made famous in the 1952 film.

- How travel adventures lead to unexpected, sometimes life-changing experiences
