- Dami's love for travel began on her first trip to the Toscana region of Italy when she was 19. Blown away by the sprawling vineyards surrounded by cypress trees, the breathtaking historical architecture, and seeing the way people in a different part of the world live, she realized just how much of the world was waiting to be experienced firsthand.
- Dami was once a bit of an international travel purist, but a road trip with her husband around the southern United States made her fall in love with the vast, stunning landscapes right in her own backyard.
- While Dami will never turn down a trip to Barcelona, Tokyo, Paris, Lisbon, or Seoul, she also fell in love with Disney all over again. As of January 2026, she and her husband became out-of-state annual passholders at Walt Disney World.
