San Diego aka America's Finest City

Image
This city is so cute, from skyscrapers to waterfront restaurants you really have it all! Day One: La Jolla (highly recommend) We ate dinner at a very cute place overlooking the ocean, walked around some boutiques, and ended our day but seeing some adorable sea lions! Then headed back to our hotel to grab some dinner in Little Italy Day Two: Shopping!  - Check out fashion valley mall for every shop you could imagine    Day Three: Balboa Park  - We headed to a this very artsy park, very instagramable and nice place to stroll around or pinic  Day Four:  - The beach! When you are so close to many different beaches it's almost a crime not to spend the day there. La Jolla had very nice, not touristy beaches, however, we opted for Mission beach where was filled with people and things to do, the more things to do, the better. Day Five: Los Angles  -  Since LA is only a two-hour drive from San Diego we deiced to hit the big city, we checked out ...

2 in 1! The Grand Canyon & Phoenix

Image
Grand Canyon To do: I highly recommend one of your first views of the Grand Canyon be from a helicopter, you get views you would never be able to see from the ground and they were spectacular. But defiantly don't miss the chance to walk around the rim as much as possible.  ** Important side note, make sure to have tons of water, snacks, and a map ** *Another side note make sure you go once at sunsets for more amazing views!             Inside the Grand Canyon Park, there are also cabins to stay out, tons of camping sites, and places to eat so I would defiantly check those out too for some unique history! Not to mention how cool the wildlife was there. On the drive down to Phoenix we made a pit stop at the Montezuma castle, after a short walk we appeared upon the Castle built around   AD 1100 and 1350 for the  Sinagua tribe. You do not want to miss a chance to see ...

City 305

Miami Beach is such a fun yet relaxful vacay On one of the first days we hit up Lincoln Street for some shopping and tasty gelato then headed to Wynwood for some super creative murals and dinner. We hit some adorable brunch spots and cute cafes, including Dreamer and Pura Vida Cafe for some avocado toast, açaí bowls, and of course coffee. As for a dream lunch, hit up the Versace Mansion, a 3-course meal is cheap for the amazing view they offer As for the rest of our time, we spent most of our days on the sand or playing in the clear blue water or walking around Ocean Drive exploring what Miami Beach has to offer.

Music City

Okay, as soon as I arrived I fell in love with everything about this city, from the vibe, the food, to the things to do and everything in between Good Eats:   I would have to say that one of my favorite things about Nashville is all the local mom and pop shops, which included amazing food.   I found several places via Pinterest one being an amazing hotdog place, edible cookie dough, and sprinkles, a cupcake atm! Then, of course, I had to stop by the juice bar, which certain locations happen to be owned by the Christley family so I had to swing by there to see if any were working.  Staying Busy: As for something to do, there are tons of busy streets to shop and dine, my family and I personally saw a concert and it just so happen the Nashville Predators were playing a big game the next night so we went and had a great time,  especially since they won! We also went to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and had a blast Insta Worthy:  There tons of murals...

Cruisin'

One of my most bittersweet trips, a graduation cruise with my best friend One of the best trips I've taken is a cruise from Flordia to Labadee Haiti, Cozumel Mexico, and of course Montego Bay Jamacia!  When we first arrived I had no idea what to except from Haiti, but it is still one of my favorite travel destinations. My family and I did an extrusion to have a private beach access area including a food buffet. This day was extremely relaxful, except when we got the rush from ziplining over the ocean from the top of a cliff while having a mini photoshoot along the way. Our next stop was Mexico, where we rented jeeps to go on a trail to the Mayan Ruins. The jeep ride was to the Mayan Ruins. The jeep ride was such a great off-road experience and the food we got served after was even better, hands down the best guacamole I have ever had! This excursion was an all-day thing but it was 100% worth it! Jamaica was unquestionably the most fun stop...

The Windy City

Being from a small town, cities are always top on my travel list. So, deciding where to travel next I knew I had to hit up Chicago.  Touristy Things:   As soon as I arrived my first stop was the famous Bean, having never traveled to Chicago I had no idea why it was so popular. After seeing the mirror magic, I now understand why it is a hot stop. The Bean is next to an adorable flower garden with a great city view making irresistible to not take a stroll in. Next, I was dying to see the Chicago Theater sign at night, so we walked and walked until we stumbled upon it. It was definitely an Intsa worthy spot. Sorry for the dirty mirror pic,  this time it's not my fault  Shop Till Ya Drop: Let me just tell you, Chicago's shopping street is not called Magnificent Mile for nothing.  The next day we decide  to walk up  Michigan Avenue, of course, while making some pit stops.     ...

  Tourist Attractions: Going to LA there are a few no brainers you want to hit such as Venice Beach or Visiting the Hollywood Sign and of course the famous Hollywood Walk Of Fame. All were just as Instagramable spots as they're made out to be. Hidden Gems: Then I did some digging, being the huge Friends fanatic I am I was thrilled to find out Freinds was filmed only a short drive away at Waner Bros. Studios. I highly recommend taking a tour to see the Big Bang Theory set, a memorial set to Friends, where Ellens show is filmed and the famous Full House, house Once you do a little bit more digging you discover some more hidden gems in L.A. such as the Dobly Theatre, where the Academy Awards are held every year or the Grauman's Chinese Theatre, where every known star has placed there hand or shoe! As for someone like me who is obsessed with reality TV, you know I had to make a stop at Dash, the famous Kardashians store! Food Junkie:...
