Our Terry Youngelson chimes in on how the gift of travel makes for a wonderful “experiential” present. We thank The New York Times for including Terry alongside other travel experts in this article.
Excerpt from The New York Times: “Terry Youngelson, a travel consultant with the Travelong agency in Summit, N.J., says her clients give the gift of travel because the recipient’s enjoyment lasts longer than when receiving a physical present. “There’s the anticipation leading up to the trip, the experience itself, and then the memories of it,” Ms. Youngelson said. Giving books and maps related to the destination can add to the excitement.”
