Romance is the heartbeat that swells inside…
“The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.” – Emil Ludwig

This page is a list of places to escape and impress, tap into your more sensual side, engage your taste buds, and find some passion…
