I Hope Someday Someone Looks at Me the Way I Look at a Travel Brochure

I always say I hope someday a man looks at me the way I look at a travel brochure — and if you know me, you know that’s saying a lot. Because when I look at a travel brochure, my whole demeanor lights up. My eyes soften, my shoulders relax, and my whole body leans in like I’m falling in love with possibility itself.

And maybe that’s because I don’t just read travel brochures. I create them for a living.

I can spend my days choosing the perfect photos, writing the words that make people dream, and curating the kind of moments that make someone whisper, “I need to be there.” I know what it looks like when something is crafted with passion and intention — when every detail is chosen to spark excitement, curiosity, and hope. I aim to create a sense of FOMO—you can’t live without experiencing something so beautiful and powerful.

Somewhere along the way, I realized: That’s the same energy and reaction I want in love.

✈️ Travel Has Become the Great Love Story of My Life

Travel has never disappointed me the way dating has recently. Travel shows up. Travel makes plans. Travel gives me butterflies and excitement before I even arrive.

When I’m creating a travel brochure, I’m imagining the best version of a place — the golden hour glow, the hidden corners, the exquisite sunsets, the magic that doesn’t always show up on the first page. I give destinations the kind of attention and admiration that most people reserve for relationships. I study them. I celebrate them. I’m in awe of their beauty before I ever step foot there.

And honestly? I deserve someone who sees me with that same wonder.

🌍 What a Travel Brochure Taught Me About Love

A travel brochure is full of intention. It’s curated. It’s thoughtful. It’s an invitation.

And that’s what I want from a partner — someone who looks at me with curiosity, excitement, and a genuine desire to explore who I am.

Not someone who takes 48 hours to respond. Not someone who can’t plan a date but expects me to plan my entire emotional availability around them. Not someone who gives me the bare minimum and calls it effort.

If I can create a brochure that makes strangers want to cross oceans, then surely someone out there can bring that same energy to loving me.

💅 I Want to Be Someone’s Dream Destination

I want to be someone’s dream destination — not a layover, not a quick weekender, not a “maybe someday.” I want to be the place someone circles in their mind the way I circle a potential next vacation spot in my brochure: with excitement, curiosity, and the quiet certainty that something unforgettable is waiting there.

I want someone who sees me the way I see a new city or a beautiful new resort — full of potential, full of stories, full of reasons to stay a little longer. When I arrive somewhere new, I don’t rush through it. I take my time. I wander. I pay attention. I let myself fall in love with the details most people overlook. That’s the kind of energy I want coming my way.

Someone who studies the details — the way my laugh sounds when I’m genuinely happy, the way my eyes light up when I talk about a place I’m passionate about, the way I soften when I feel safe. Someone who’s excited to discover the hidden gems — the quirks, the layers, the parts of me that don’t show up on the first page. Someone who doesn’t rush the experience but also doesn’t take it for granted — who understands that the best things unfold slowly, intentionally, and with presence.

And most of all, someone who chooses me with intention — the way I choose every photo, every headline, every word in the brochures I create. I craft. I curate. I imagine the experience someone will have when they step into that world I’ve built. I want someone who sees me with that same care, that same thoughtfulness, that same desire to explore what’s possible.

🧳 Until Then, I’ll Keep Loving the World

Until someone looks at me with that same spark, I’ll keep doing what I do best: Falling in love with the world.

One brochure. One boarding pass. One breathtaking moment at a time.

Because if travel is the great love story of my life, I’m not complaining. It’s shown me beauty, adventure, and versions of myself I never would’ve met otherwise.

And maybe — just maybe — the right person will find me the same way I find my favorite destinations: By being in the right place at the right time.

If this story made you smile, nod, or whisper “same,” then you’re exactly who I write for. Travel has a way of showing us the love, excitement, and intention we wish people would give us — and I’m here to celebrate every version of that journey.
