A Swiss/Bagobo Romance

Remember – romance can bloom in the most unlikely places

Whenever there’s a tale of unusual romance or love blooming in the most unlikely of locales, I’m all ears. But when I haven’t even heard of a nationality, I not only tune in, but yes, admittedly, feel a little stupid. Have you heard of the Bagobo people? Thought not. Yes, we are all philistines for failing to know about those from southern Mindanao, Philippines.  Read on for proof that international love can overcome all…including differences of nationality, culture and language. more…

Feng Shui Tips For Love

Tips and tricks from Katie Rogers on how to open up your life to love

If you’ve heard of feng shui and always wondered what in the heck it was (without bothering to find out) let me tell you. Literally speaking, it’s the Chinese practice of positioning objects based on a belief in patterns of yin and yang and the flow of chi that have positive and negative effects. Though this practice can be applied to everything in your life, I wanted to find out what effects it would have on my love life…so I consulted expert Katie Rogers. more…

Love Is In The Air: Man Proposes To His Lady In-Flight To New York

Is proposing on a plane romantic or mortifying?

When I think airplane love, my teenage boy brain immediately goes ‘BOING! Mile-high club!’ But that isn’t the only kind of romance you can find in-flight. One man actually proposed to his girlfriend in the air on Friday. To me, the thought of a public proposal is cheesy, embarrassing and unromantic, but there’s different strokes for different folks, right? more…

Happy 4th Of July — May Your Day Be Filled With REAL Fireworks!

Are sparks going off for you wherever you may be in the world? I hope so

As I may have mentioned before one or a million times, the 4th of July is my favorite holiday. It makes me feel like a kid again. Fireworks just do it for me; there’s something majestic about the mixture of color and sound that takes me away from me for awhile. That said, every single year for the past 11 years, regardless of where I happened to be living at the time, I have been on Martha’s Vineyard, Mass. for 4th. Not so this year. But while I could have been sitting sadly at home in Santa Monica, Calif. on the other side of the US, this has actually been one of the best Independence Days I’ve had to date. This may have something to do with becoming independent from my routine — and giving in to the freedom of the unexpected. more…

Not to sound stereotypical here, but I’m a girl who a) loves men and b) loves shopping. I think it would be safe to assume (full well knowing that ‘assuming’ makes asses out of u and me) that, if you’re reading LoveTrekker, you’ll probably feel the same. Well, what if you could subscribe to a website that melded these two ‘passions’ and upped the ante by including a deal of the day? Hell, who doesn’t love a sale? more…
