Erica has wanted to be a travel writer since college and now as a mom of two, she's finally pursuing that dream. She takes pride in researching the best trip information and test driving the recommendations you'll find on this site. When she's not immersed in travel research you can find her with her kids or attempting to learn tennis (advice accepted!).
The concept of a "harem" has its roots in traditional Japanese culture, referring to a system where a high-ranking official or nobleman would keep multiple female companions or concubines. This practice was historically associated with power, wealth, and social status.
