In today’s Celebrity Travel Addicts Q&A we interview my friend and fellow Miamian, Sydne Summer of Sydne Style. I have known Sydne for most my life as she went to high school with my sister and we stayed in touch when she moved to California. Inspired by her experience as a fashion editor and celebrity correspondent, Sydne founded her blog and has since become a go-to source for effortless travel style. Meet Sydne, check out her Top 5 List for Paris, and where in the world she’s headed to next!
How did your passion for travel get started?
I grew up traveling with my parents. I’d always look forward to our family vacations whether it was a cruise to the Caribbean or horseback riding in Colorado.

I hope that my travel helps inspire my readers on new destinations to try as well as guide them on what to pack and where to stay when traveling.
