Make your hometown exciting again by jumping onboard Hampton by Hilton’s Seekender project! I gave it a whirl this weekend with epic goals of finding a waterfall to chase within an hour of where I live in Los Angeles, and you better believe I succeeded! I hit not just one, but TWO waterfalls this weekend! In fact, I turned my whole waterfall chasing escapade...
Just saying “the Azores” sounds exotic AF doesn’t it? Well I have good news for you, it really is, in fact I’d describe it as a mixture of Avatar and Hobbiton packed on tiny islands in the middle of the Atlantic ocean just west of Portugal. There are several Azores islands, with the biggest and most easy-to-access one being Sāo Miguel island...
If you ask anyone about Queenstown, there’s a good chance they’ll tell you it’s one of their favorite places in the World! Not only is the popular New Zealand town absolutely beautiful, but it’s packed with adventure and endless fun as well! For me, Queenstown was the final stop on my week-long camper van road trip across the South Island, and I wouldn’t have wanted...

Namely, the Super Bloom that has been trending all over social media, and said to only happen every fourteen years (which is a total...
Have you dreamt about you and your loved one escaping to the beautiful islands of French Polynesia? Has Tahiti, Bora Bora, or Moorea been on your bucket list forev’s? Do you need an opportunity to disconnect so that you can reconnect with yourself, your loved one, and life in general? If you answered ‘Yes’, then take out your smartphone right now and record a 15...
If you’re headed to Los Angeles to get a glimpse of the glitz and glam of the entertainment industry, you definitely will want to head to Burbank; the city where all the behind the scenes magic happens! You may think Hollywood is where all the movies and TV shows are filmed, but it’s actually just over the hill in Burbank where most of the major networks...
If you’re anything like me, you probably do a hair flip and eye roll at the thought of needing travel insurance. But, if you really are anything like me…you probably really do need it. I’m not clumsy or aloof, I just tend to enjoy doing really cool things that are sometimes slightly dangerous, especially since I do them alone. Swimming in the Amazon...
Being a solo female traveler with a fearless sense of adventure can sometimes result in a recipe for disaster. Not going to lie, I’ve gotten myself into a pickle (or rather an entire jar of them) a few times, and it can be pretty terrifying, especially when traveling abroad. It can also be expensive, which, let’s be serious, you never think about until something...
