Aspen

I grew up visiting Aspen. My grandparents had a place on Red Mountain and I always connected with the local community there. Many people from Miami vacationed there as well so it was wonderful to have a winter experience with all of our friends and family. Of course, I’d be remiss not to mention the incredible skiing, restaurants and scenery as well.

Ocean Reef

Even during Florida winters, it’s simply never too cold to visit the Florida Keys. The waters are stunning and my family and I have been taking a boat down on a beautiful afternoon to spend Christmas in the Keys since I was a kid.

New York City

I will also have to say NYC for the simple reason that when I was growing up, Home Alone was such an iconic movie and that made NYC have a special place in my heart. The energy of the city and the snow on the streets is something that reminds me of my youth and it always brings me back when I visit during the winter.
