The Trazees

Aug 1, 2015
2015

Everything travel, from A to Z. That’s the motto of Trazee Travel, the Web publication for the uber-millennial created by the team behind Global Traveler. Launched in September 2014, the website, updated several times daily, covers a wide range of subjects of interest to travelers ages 18–35. From products and tips to trends and reviews, trazeetravel.com also focuses on destination weddings, bachelor and bachelorette parties and honeymoons. The Under $100 section tells a traveler how to do a destination for less than $100 a day, while the Top 5 category brings the five best of any one thing in any city — think Top 5 Free Museums in Washington, D.C. — but so much more. As promised, a little of bit of everything; there are interviews, quizzes and polls, too.

And that’s not all — our Community section allows our readers to share their own travel stories and photos. Join today at trazeetravel.com.

Trazeetravel.com is proud to present The Trazees 2015, the inaugural winners of our annual awards. Congratulations to the following trendsetters!

Breathe in the View and Sip in the Moment in Puerto Vallarta

Mindful drinking with an eye on wellness can mean ordering a zero-proof or low ABV cocktail instead of one that’s boozy and stirred, or slowly savoring one glass of wine instead of tossing back two or three. But sometimes, where you’re sipping a beverage can have just as much of a positive effect on your mind, body and spirit as what’s in your glass.

Relais Villa Porta Review

Tucked into a Lake Maggiore enclave overlooking the Gulf of Colmegna, Relais Villa Porta is an idyllic place to take in a side of the Italian Lakes region that’s different from buzzy Lake Como during high season. In 1820, it was built as a hunting lodge, and by the end of the century, was transformed into an inn by Leopoldo Casnedi. Over time, the surrounding parkland was further enhanced with rare plants collected by Pietro Porta, its second owner and botanist, as well as regular guests wanting to support his efforts. This ensured the inn would ultimately sit pretty within a 10,000-square-meter park surrounding the main villa, a 19th-century Liberty-style greenhouse and original Villa Porta mosaic.
