I don’t know about you, but I’m fairly handy with maps. That’s good news for a travel junkie. Without them, I am certain that Long Island runs north-to-south (it does not).

Whether you buy into the hype, reject it as a “Hallmark Holiday”, or something in between, it would only seem right to read a few love stories in the month of February to celebrate!

The thing about love stories is that there are all kinds – self-love, romantic love, risky love, doomed love, destined love, the list goes on. Whatever you fancy, I’ve got a suggestion for you based on ten different kinds of love.
