This past February I was able to visit the beautiful island of Puerto Rico for the first time, thanks to an invite from two amazing hotel properties located in San Juan. But I’ll be…

When I was contacted in January about a press trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico, I have to admit — I was initially hesitant. Hadn’t Hurricane Maria completely ravaged the island? Weren’t hundreds of thousands of…

If the name St. George, Utah isn’t immediately recognizable, you might better know it as the closest city in proximity to Zion National Park. St. George is located on the Southwestern tip of Utah,…

During my recent trip to Manhattan for the NY Times Travel Show, I was invited to stay in the adorable and quirky Funky Loft space which is used as both an Airbnb rental and photoshoot location and…

If my Instagram feed is any indication, Banff is one of those spots in summer that people go bananas over. Nature photographers, hiking enthusiasts and travel bloggers alike hit the trails with the goal of capturing…

The thought of traveling to Mexico often elicits visions of an endless supply of all-inclusive piña coladas at a beachside resort, or excursions to the cenotes and ancient ruins of the Yucatan. Or maybe even taco…

Buffalo Mountain Lodge, located five minutes from the center of Banff, is what winter cabin dreams are made of. Away from the tourist crowds yet conveniently situated within short driving distance to Banff’s major attractions, this…

You want to know what makes me happy? Things like sunshine. Palm trees swaying in the warm breeze. Sipping a coconut straight from the source. Pretty much anything that looks, tastes, and smells tropical. Wait,…

If the name “Moab” means nothing to you at the moment, then keep reading. I’m about to show you why this quirky little town should be added to your vernacular ASAP. Not only is…

Since wrapping up a whirlwind road trip through 8 U.S. National Parks across the West this summer, there’s not one that I would leave off my list were I to do it all over…

This post is sponsored by Aveeno, but as always, all my opinions are my own and I would never promote anything I don’t freaking love.  If you’ve been following along on Instagram and IG stories,…

Hover over the image above to shop the Aveeno Protect + Hydrate products on Walmart.com! Being back in California always feels good, and one of the best perks about it are all of the…

After spending the majority of the month of April in Manhattan, I was feeling ready to get out of the hustle and grind for a minute to regain a little perspective. Luckily, all I had to do…

I recently had the pleasure of sharing my favorite stylish Savannah spots with interior design mecca One Kings Lane, and wanted to make sure none of you missed out on benefitting from this post!…

Walking the streets of Savannah, Georgia is literally like stepping into a time machine to the 1800s. Cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and antebellum architecture give the city its historic charm, but the slower pace…

My visit to Antigua, Guatemala was entirely too quick — a trip that was meant to be several days longer but cut short by a bus schedule miscalculation. Yes, this charming town is small and walkable…

If you’re a culture vulture like me, then you’ve undoubtedly heard about the relatively new Broad Museum (pronounced “brode”), LA’s most celebrated contemporary art space and architectural landmark aptly situated next to Walt Disney Hall in…

Over the last few years traveling, nothing has sparked more interest from followers and friends than my trip to Cuba. How to get there. What to do. Where to stay. So without further ado,…

It’s not hard to become addicted to the culture of salsa while in Cuba. In fact it’s intoxicatingly easy. Imagine this scenario: you’ll be walking down the street in Havana and a three-man band will…

Oh, Cuba. Without a doubt one of my favorite destinations I’ve been to this year. It’s hard to articulate what I love so much about Cuba, because in a way a lot of the things I…
