MIAMI

My first post in 2 years, wow! Ive missed blogging. Ive decided to dedicate my first post of 2018 on Miami. I took a trip July 2017, and it was nothing short of amazing. Miami easily became one of my favorite cities and even considering relocating there. ….Maybe,  i still got NYC to explore 😉 TRIP OVERVIEW: HOTEL: Me and a girlfriend stayed for 4 nights and stayed in South Beach Miami at the Mondrian Hotel. It was a super chic boutique style hotel but very modern. Mondrian had all the amenities , pool, free breakfast, free bikes for the day,gym,and they even had free stand up paddle and jet skis for hotel guests. There is also a free travel guide downstairs at the lobby the sold all types of tourist packages for your stay. Heres a lovely GIF of the massive complimentary breakfast we received every morning: droolinggggg Room: We got upgraded to a one bedroom suite, there is a kitchen and dining room table in each room, there is also a separate living room …

Death Valley National Park

I was never really interested in going to this place growing up, I spent a lot on the road, with road trips to Vegas ( my mothers favorite place which she always dragged me to as a child and ironically now my favorite place on earth, yes I’m serious!) and I would always hear adult chatter about Death Valley being the hottest place on earth, yuck!. I am not going to lie Instagram gives me inspiration and roadlust (word I made up lol) I saw these white dunes on there that enthralled me, and I have always had love for the desert and things that you don’t really see everyday.  I looked it up and it was only a 4 hour drive and I went on a weekend where all the national parks were celebration 100 years so free entrance to all national parks, what could beat free.99? We left again at about midnight, this was probably the scariest road trip I have ever been on and literally had an anxiety attack when we almost got …

Sequoia National Park

Sequoia National Park Sequoia really is beautiful, it is the perfect getaway from Los Angeles if you are short on time. Its about a 4.5 hour drive(the switchback mountains and getting to your camp site already factored in) Sequoia National park offers a lot of options for hiking, so many hiking trails that I was a bit overwhelmed ( a good type of overwhelmed). I was there for only a day and a half; I was not able to do it all, so I did 3 famous hikes, all three will be listed and reviewed below. Camping: I made a very last minute reservation for camping so I stayed at Sunset Campground which is in Kings Canyon National park, both parks kind of intertwine and is a short drive from Sequoia. I had loop 99 which is a smaller than usual camp sites, but it was sufficient as I do not tend to stay at the camp ground all day long, I only use it to eat my meals and sleeping. There was a grill and a …

Horseshoe Bend

Horseshoe bend is a splendid sight to see, its located in Page,Az. It about an 8 hour drive from Los Angeles and I did it over the weekend. There is a very very small uphill hike to horseshoe bend, also I did find it hard to get a perfect photo, and I feel like you need a long “selfie-stick” to really get a good shot of the horseshoe overlook. The photographer that took the photo above had to stand on a really tall rock to get this photo. Anyway, from Las Vegas, we passed Zion National Park, so if youre planning to go to Zion might as well keep going and make a stop in page for a photo opportunity with this majestic beauty.

A guide to Maui: Hikes

Maui is absolutely breath taking, it doesn’t matter what you are doing.. whether you’re driving down the poly and see that coastal drive, or you’re shopping at the grocery store and when you walk out you see the valley isle (scenic mountains) which Maui is known for. I am on a travel assignment right now in Maui, I have lived here several months before. I am going to give you a locals guide to visiting Maui.                                          Hikes shoots and ladders This one was probably the scariest, thousands of people do it each year, but with some peer pressure I was pushed to do it haha. Being afraid of heights is not easy when most hikes in Maui require some elevation. This hike is on the west side, Honolua Bay in mile marker 47. You hike up to the cliff to the left and start repelling down really shady ropes, once you get down theres a reward in the end with a natural pool. Do not go when the surf is high, there will not be a …
