The Best Cyber Monday Deals For People Trying To Go Off The Grid In 2017
If there's one thing people usually know about me, it's I love to travel.
I'm the girl already planning her next trip before I've completed the first.
I'm constantly looking up flight sales, researching new hotels and daydreaming about where's next.
Being the travel-obsessed, city-seeking, adventurist Millennial I am, it's no surprise my favorite holiday is upon us: Cyber Monday.
Most people think of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping holidays as an opportunity to score a flat screen TV or a new pair of boots.
But I'm searching the web for travel deals.
Hotels, resorts, adventure tours and even airlines offer special promotions on Cyber Monday to encourage bookings and travel.
So, my fellow travel-enthusiasts, here are the best deals I've found for this Cyber Monday (November 28), for some of my favorite destinations:
