Editor’s Letter: Travel as an Act of Love

"A few weeks later we went to the Yucatán, my first time there, and though I didn't realize it then, we were laying the foundation for a life together with our shared experiences: me, shopping for bandages and ointment after she took a nasty fall while biking to a cenote near Valladolid; her, teaching me to snorkel in Playa del Carmen; us, wandering the grounds of a deserted Uxmal and catching a ride back to town from Chichén Itzá with a friendly local family."
