The cost of living can rise as a place rises in popularity.  Just think of those artsy New York neighborhoods that once drew creative types and young professionals because of their cheap rents.  Loft apartments there now cost thousands to rent and millions to own.

The time of me writing this is Valentine’s Day so I thought it might be a good idea to pull together some of the most romantic destinations to travel to in the world.


I actually travelled to Paris with my girlfriend a couple of years ago for a few days and I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The reasons that Paris is often credited as the most or one of the most romantic cities in the world is thanks to hotspots like the Eiffel Tower, the various art museums and the river Seine. If you are planning a trip to Paris I would recommend taking a cruise on the river at sunset, it isn’t expensive and you get to spend roughly an hour just watching the sun go down around the best tourist spots including the Eiffel Tower, Le Louvre and Notre Dame.
