If Destinations Were Zodiac Signs...

Every destination has a personality. Some are loud. Some are brooding. Some are that one kid in group projects who does everything (hi, Virgo).

And in this era of vibe-driven travel, I thought we could have some woo-woo fun, skipping the personas and going full cosmic truth.

If your destination had a zodiac sign… would it be a no-nonsense Capricorn? A chaotic Gemini? Or a secretive Scorpio with a speakeasy and three scandals buried under your historic district?

🔮 Let’s find out (with a little help from Helen 🤖✨)
