Did you know that there are waterfalls in Malibu called Escondido Falls? Well, sometimes there is, obviously we are constantly in a drought, but even when the water’s not a-flowin’, the falls are still really fun to hike to, and beautiful to see! This post is recently updated as of March 16, 2019 — It has been raining like crazy in LA so the the...
Recently I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania for International Women’s Day with Whoa Travel, and I have to say it was one of the most epic moments of my life! I’m by no means a professional hiker, but I honestly can say I didn’t find many difficulties with the climb up Kilimanjaro, and was actually the first one to reach the summit! The tips I...
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...
All the info you need to do the Hollywood Sign Hike plus photo tips for pics like mine!
Initially my interest in going to Bergen was sparked when I discovered a train route I could take with my RailEurope flexipass that goes from one side of Norway to the other. It starts in Oslo and ends in Bergen and has several other scenic stops you can make on the way. Since I always enjoy a challenge, the idea of traveling across the entire country while...
I’ll admit, I look like I belong at the beach in Malibu rather than in a tent on a mountain in Peru. But crushing challenges and stereotypes just so happens to be one of my favorite things to do, so guess what my brain thought when I heard about the Inca Trail hike? Oh, there’s a more difficult way to get to Machu Picchu than taking a bus and a train? Sign me up...
I’ll be honest. I never did well in history class (AKA failed) which is why I didn’t know much about the Inca Trail when I was planning my trip to Peru to finally see Machu Picchu. Initially I was going to just take the bus from Cusco to Aguas Calientes and then the train that goes up to the ticketing area of Machu Picchu, because I thought that’s just how you do it...
Machu Picchu usually tops EVERYONE’s bucketlist, but trust me when I say, the BEST way to experience it is by doing the 4 day Inca Trail Hike to Machu Picchu! Ancient ruins always frustrate me. I like to know everything, so when I see something so mind-boggling that people think aliens helped build it, my brain goes into a frenzy trying to figure out how...
Now more than ever is the perfect time to take an epic, budget Arizona Utah roadtrip! Social distancing is high, wanderlust fulfillment is even higher, and chances are you need this time to get back in touch with yourself and nature! Plus, you can easily do this Arizona Utah roadtrip solo like I did! Trust me, it’s liberating! And if you need gear to take your...
Heading to Iceland? The Southeast Coast of Iceland is a bit farther than the normal Iceland itineraries, but it’s SO WORTH IT, especially if you want to see Jökulsárlon glacier lagoon! If you’re worried about the distance, just keep in mind that not only did I do this roadtrip in a day (from and to Keflavik), but I also went straight from a red-eye flight...
