Long gone are the lazy days by the pool sipping Piña Coladas and gaining holiday pounds. There’s a new wave of travelers in town and they’re running, cycling, and paddling their way around the world’s greatest wonders. For weekend warriors and avid athletes, vacation can offer time to work on your sport, while also traveling the world. Scott Stohler, co-founder of fit travel blog, Roamaroo, says, “the active person spends their 9-5 cooped up in a cubicle so when it’s time for a vacation, they don’t want to spend it sitting around. They want to go out into the world and explore in an adventurous way.” Whether you’re a road racer or a mountain lover, a water baby or a ski bunny, your active dream vacation awaits.
