Scottsdale_Long_Weekend_Travel_Guide_2

I recently spent a weekend in Scottsdale and was so excited to escape NYC for warmer weather. Little known fact about me is that I’m a total introvert and the best way for me to recharge my batteries is some major alone time. I always take solo trips and absolutely love getting away to the desert. I find the energy in the desert quite magical, plus, I can never get enough of sunshine and palm trees! I had an amazing time exploring Scottsdale and enjoying some much-needed downtime to rejuvenate. I put together this Scottsdale travel guide, curated with all …

Andaz Mayakoba Photo Diary5

At the end of last year I was feeling major burnout so on a whim I jetted off to Mexico for a quick solo vacay. Mexico has by default become my go-to destination for an impromptu getaway because I can always find a cheap last-minute flight and within a matter of hours be transported to Mexico’s Caribbean coast with its gorgeous weather, sunshine, palm trees, blue skies and crystal clear water. I booked a stay at the Andaz Mayakoba which was brand spanking new…they had only been open for a week when I arrived. The downside to this was that …

Sparrows-Lodge_39-1

Recently I headed down to Palm Springs to celebrate my birthday and this time around I tried a newish hotel that I’d been hearing lots of buzz about called Sparrow’s Lodge. Whenever I go to Palm Springs I go to simply getaway, sit by a pool and relax. While other hotels in town can sometimes be a bit of a scene, this quiet little retreat in the desert is the perfect low-key alternative. First, it only allows guests who are 21+, so no children and no worries of underage party kids. Secondly, the experience the hotel offers is something …

The Beach Lodge AirBnb Hollywood Beach_5

I recently stumbled across the most adorable Airbnb beach rental on Instagram and decided this hidden gem was way too cute not to share! The classic A-Frame house from the 70s is located on Hollywood beach, nestled just between Malibu and Santa Barbara in Southern California. This eclectic abode was recently renovated and features 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and an airy, open floor plan. The interiors reflect a mix of ethnic textiles married with mid-century furniture for a boho chic vibe. There’s also an outdoor lounge and a balcony with unobstructed views of the ocean. The fresh ocean breeze is …

48 Hours in San Francisco 24 copy

Last month I took a super quick trip to San Francisco for a one day conference and padded on a tiny bit of extra time so that I could see the city and explore. I’d only been to San Francisco once before for a business trip a number of years ago but didn’t get to see much. This time around, even though I was there for just two full days, I made the most of every second of my free time and had a blast being a tourist and eating my way through the city! I already can’t wait to …

Cartagena_Travel_Photo_Diary_5

Hi Guys! Sorry I’ve been a MIA! Summer is always my busiest time of the year and I’ve been up to my ears with work this past month which has left me with very little free time to catch up on the blog. I’ve got lots of inspiring posts planned and some exciting updates to share but for now I wanted to share a little photo diary of my recent vacation in Cartagena, Colombia. Last month I traveled to Cartagena for a quick 4 night, 5 day getaway which was absolutely wonderful! Situated on Colombia’s caribbean coast, Cartagena is an …
