There is nothing more romantic than a massage for two followed by a candlelight dinner and jacuzzi tub.

There is nothing quite like the unadulterated thrill of having hands massaging, rubbing and pampering while you sit mindlessly engrossed in the sheer pleasure of it all. Before I ever visited a spa I had no idea what a deep tissue massage was and how it compared to a body wrap, a Thai massage or a bath therapy, now you can’t tear me away.

Even if your budget is screaming "no way," don’t let your fear of the price tag stop you from looking into a visit to one of the many spas around the world. Some spas cater to the well-to-do traveler, but at the same time many cater to the 18-to-34 year old crowd wanting to enjoy themselves without breaking the bank.

I’ve traveled the United States, Europe, Australia and the Caribbean and found my favorite picks, so check these out on your next out-of-town visit and don’t be afraid to get pampered, sometimes for as little as the price of a dinner would cost.
