This week is all about animals! We have pet-friendly tips for traveling with your favorite companion as well as how to be "compassionate" when you travel.

Language, music, food, dance- so many great things come together in the world of travel! An English/Music major at Fordham University, Gina Ciliberto loves learning about all of these and then passing on her findings to the fans and promoters of Let’s Travel! When she’s not connecting travel enthusiasts to the show and website, Gina enjoys writing, singing, reading, cooking, teaching, and photography. She is desperately in love with New York City, especially the Belmont section of the Bronx where she resides. Currently, she participates in the Rose Hill Society, St. Martin of Tours Catechetical program and youth group, Kappa International at Roosevelt High School, Residential Housing Association, and an American-Catholic studies program. However, she most enjoys being a member of the Anne Devenney house, which allows her to experience the Bronx and all it has to offer, from rich Latino culture to the heart of Little Italy on Arthur Ave!
