Hvar is one of my favorite summer travel destinations.

At 21, I planned a girls' trip to Iceland and fell in love with the art of crafting the perfect itinerary. I've been traveling internationally ever since.Now, years later, I've been all over Europe, from Spain to Germany to Slovakia. I work in the industry as a travel consultant, and I love nothing more than discovering new places that I'm excited not only to share with clients, but also to return to again and again.If you also have the travel bug this summer, there are three European spots that I'd recommend for an incredible time.I can't stop thinking about Comporta, a laid-back beach town in Portugal

Comporta has unforgettable beaches.
