Heather and James Hills created this site to help share our own knowledge and personal experience with couples that we've learned over the past twenty years of marriage. During that time, we have become a source of knowledge that many of our friends ask for recommendations from - both in regards to travel but also how we've managed to stay together and tips for maintaining a strong and healthy relationship despite the pressures of working together and traveling together for much of that time and challenges such as recovering from debt, surviving layoffs, and physical as well as mental health issues.
About Heather Hills:
Before leaving the world of therapuetic recreation to help her husband James start a marketing agency, she was a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist who worked with a variety of patients to help them maintain and resort physical, mental, and emotional well-being through a variety of treatment techniques that involve focusing on recreation, social skills, and creativity to make her patients lives better.
Since then she has also built a travel agency business leveraging those same principles to help her clients find the perfect vacation experiences. Now, she contributes her knowlege and experience here now too, sharing her expertise in social interaction, travel, leisure, and relationships to help those in our Couple Places community.
About James Hills:
With more than 20 years in corporate marketing, including serving as Social Media Director for e-commerce brands such as ProFlowers and Shari's Berries where his focus was on engaging with customers looking to maintain strong relationships, passionate romances, and celebrate special occasions.
After leaving the corporate world, James launched a series of websites promoting men's lifestyle and travel topics. He knew though that there was something missing ...
As a happily married man who loves to travel with his wife and share incredible experiences with those around them, he realized that there needed to be something else in their portfolio of websites.
That's why CouplePlaces.com was created ...
This site is a space for Heather and him to share a combination of travel adventures and relationship advice to hopefully help other couples develop as strong of a relationship as he and Heather do!
We are far from perfect, but we work hard to improve upon our mistakes and believe strongly in the art of continual improvement in all aspects of life. Hopefully, by sharing our knowledge and experiences with you - and others in the CouplePlaces.com community we can make an impact in ways that quite honestly didn't fit right in our other sites (ManTripping.com, MenWhoBlog.com, CruiseWestCoast.com, FlowVoyages.com, FlowMediaMarketing.com).
We can't do it alone though!
