Just caught up on the Amazing Race from Sunday night. While I don’t have any inspiring photos from Bangladesh (and I can’t say it’s on my travel wish list), a stay at this beautiful Westin resort was the prize for the winners of this week’s leg of the race. And after sweating through the crowded streets of Dhaka, a week on the stunning Malaysian island of Langkawi will likely be just what the doctor ordered. Known as Malaysia’s Eagle Island, the Westin Resort is set in a lush tropical oasis and fronted by the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. On RTW #4 I found it to be the perfect place to relax and do nothing at all!

I'm Jenny McIver, career girl, globetrotter. On New Year's Day, 2005, a newspaper article about a man who took a trip around the world sparked a wanderlust in me that has yet to abate. I spent the following year planning my own trip-of-a-lifetime and have since made it into an annual, month-long adventure visiting and writing about more than 130 countries on all 7 continents along the way - all while maintaining a full-time career. Today, my goal is to be that spark of inspiration for others by proving that you can fulfill your wildest travel dreams without quitting your day job.
