From Day by Day by TravelZen
Travel to a new and uncharted destination reorients the senses, opens the mind, entices the imagination, and tickles the feet with the itch of exploration. Sometimes you want to imbed your footprints in sands less traveled by, to venture off the beaten path—if this rings true for you, try the Cook Islands, affectionately known as “the heart of Polynesia.” Fifteen Islands each with their own unique culture and charm offer the variety necessary to stir the imagination of travelers seeking the unexpected.
TravelZen, an adventurer also enjoying New Zealand and North America recently uncovered some of the special charms inherent in the Cook Islands:
