Winter Wonderland in Washington State

March 18, 2021

Washington is a great place to fulfill your snowy dreams! During the winter, the mountain towns feel like a real life snow globe experience! Whether you’re looking for some comfort food, hot chocolate, a snowy trek or holiday lights, you will find it all here. Though Washington does live up to its rainy reputation, the winter time adds some seasonal energy. My boyfriend Johnny and I visited my college friend Marin right after Christmas and it was such a delight. I highly recommend getting a car (4-wheel drive), picking up a map, and hitting the road!

Desert Desires in Dubai

April 10, 2020

From the tallest building in the world to police officers driving Lamborghinis, Dubai truly feels like a desert dream.  It’s no wonder why Dubai is the playground for the rich and the famous.  Dubai is one of the fastest-growing cities in the world and apparently once had over 2% of the worlds cranes in order to build, and build fast.  Dubai is impressive and is meant to be impressive.  It’s home to the only 7 star hotel in the world, has the biggest shopping mall in the world, the largest man-made island in the world, the biggest flower garden in the world … it’s a surprise that “bigger is better” isn’t their official slogan.

Fall in Love with London

December 1, 2019

Visiting London should be at the top of your list of places to visit.  I always felt like there was something missing inside of me until I got to go. It’s history, charm, cute British accents and incredibly diverse population makes this place stand out among the rest.  Over 300 languages are spoken in London and there are over 170 museums which means there’s something for everyone. The energy in London is indescribable, and who this city has attracted should speak for itself: Elton John, the Beatles, Spice Girls, Adele … just to name a few. And as Taylor Swift said, “You know I love a London boy”.  You will find yourself loving the people, history and everything London stands for.

Never Too Soon for Tulum

May 10, 2019

Tulum, Mexico is one of my favorite places in the world.  First off, Mexico = margaritas so there’s that.  But Tulum specifically is chic while cheap … which is the best kind of chic.  It’s a great place to see ancient ruins, wildlife, turquoise water, water-filled sinkholes and enjoy the best tacos you have ever tasted.  It’s a place I’ve gone back to several times, even though I have a never-ending bucket list of new places to go.  When people ask me where they should go for their next trip … I always say Tulum.
