Several years ago I traveled to Morocco. I went there when it wasn’t cool to go there (I say that with no disrespect, but let’s be honest, Instagram has played a huge roll in boosting tourism in the country). I went there when I didn’t really use my Instagram that much. In fact, I went there when I had less than 5000 followers. I traveled to Morocco with my best friend Rachel. At the time we were working at a…
One of the best trips I ever took while living in Northern Thailand was to Phu Chi Fa mountain, in Chiang Rai. It was an adventure getting there, which is why I always tell people to go here if they have an extra day in the area. And because there is limited information about traveling to Phu Chi Fa on the internet, I wanted to share what I know. But first, a little information on the beautiful mountain. Phu Chi…
I love a good staycation. I think that exploring your own city is really important and there’s no better way to check out a different neighborhood than by checking into a local hotel.

Using The Southeastern Weekender Ticket If you’re going away for the night or for…
I love a good food tour. I’ve done two different ones in London (East End and Soho), one in the town where I lived in Florida, and one in Chicago. I find them to be a great way to learn about the area you’re exploring. Because let’s face it, food plays a huge part in shaping a culture and a city. So when I knew I was going to be back in New York, visiting family, I wanted to play…
I recently went home to New York for my cousin’s wedding. While there, I knew that I wanted to stay at a hotel instead of with family. But, I still wanted to be located close to my family and all of the places I’m used to going to so I could be comfortable. We decided on the Crowne Plaza because of its central location and the fact that it was okay that we didn’t have a car. I had stayed there…
