We went up to @skiheavenly in Lake Tahoe this past week and the conditions 100% lived up to the name. If you’re a skiier or snowboarder, I highly recommend dropping everything and heading to Tahoe asap 😄😄 We had virtually no lift lines mid-week! #VisitCaliforniaPartner

One of the best things you can do as a creator or in any industry you’re in is find people you align with professionally that you can collaborate with and bounce ideas off each other. I wouldn’t have survived this industry if it wasn’t for the other travel blogger friends I’ve made over the years 🙏🏻 Oman was so fun as a girls trip with these ladies!

• WHERE TO STAY • 
We stayed at 1000 Nights Desert Camp, which is one of the top desert camps in Oman. Another great option is Desert Nights!

• HOW TO GET THERE • 
In order to get into the desert, you need a 4WD vehicle or to schedule a driver from your camp to come meet you in Bidiyah (on the outskirts of the dunes) and escort you in. We chose to leave our car in Bidiyah and get escorted because we didn’t feel comfortable driving on sand. 

• WHAT TO DO IN THE DESERT • 
My favorite times in the desert were sunrise and sunset, but most camps have various activities on offer like dune bashing, archery, private sunset dinners you can book, etc. 

• HOW MANY DAYS DO YOU NEED? • 
2 nights is perfect! 

Is the Wahiba Sands Desert on your bucket list?!
