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, Heather 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:
James believes that the heart of a strong relationship is built on shared adventures and meaningful experiences. As a devoted husband who thrives on traveling with his wife, he knows firsthand how exploring new places and creating lasting memories can strengthen a couple’s bond. Inspired by his own journey, James founded CouplePlaces.com to help other couples deepen their connections through travel, discovery, and romance.
With a background in corporate marketing, James honed his skills in understanding what makes relationships thrive while leading social media initiatives for brands like ProFlowers and Shari's Berries. His focus was always on helping people celebrate love, passion, and special occasions. After stepping away from the corporate world, James combined this expertise with his love for travel to create a platform dedicated to enriching couples’ lives through unique getaways and shared experiences.
At CouplePlaces.com, James offers practical tips, creative ideas, and inspiring stories to help couples plan their next romantic adventure and continue building a strong, loving relationship.
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!
