Did you know Dubai was actually conceived to be a tourist city? Yeah, me either until recently. Dubai is like the Miami or Palm Springs to people in Europe. It's not far away and a great introduction to the UAE. English is the most common language and only about 15% of the population of Dubai is actually from the UAE so you're bound to meet some really amazing people when you're there! Here are my top places to go, things to do, restaurants, etc.

The food scene is to die for, the museums are world class, and there are so many amazing things to do that don’t fit either of those categories. I hope my guide of my home town hangs will help you find some new and underrated experiences

Every summer the same scene plays out. Wind picks up, your umbrella rips out of the sand, tumbles across the beach like a weapon, and you chase it in front of fifty strangers.

I’ve got you covered.💪

When it comes to my hotel picks, I like to keep it flexible—because sometimes you’ve got the Benjamins, and sometimes you’ve got the points. My recommendations include spots where you can splurge with cash, cash in those hard-earned loyalty points, or mix it up with a points + money combo. Think chic stays, budget-friendly luxe, and clever redemptions that make you feel like you’re living the suite life without draining your wallet (or your points balance).

Growing up; my mom was a fourth grade teacher. That meant we had all of Summer vacation dedicated to relaxing, adventuring, sleeping in, and field tripping. At some point, she started the tradition of “field trips”. She had gotten a book of places to visit in MN and we went to MANY. A lot of times we took my grandma, some times my grandma, once in a while a fried or family member, but always the two of us.

My 7 year old daughter and I had the trip of a lifetime at Disney Port Orleans. She had never been to Disney World and when we got to this resort, she thought this was it! When we arrived, our room wasn't ready yet and they took our bags and sent us to the pool. I think she went down the waterslide over 25 times. Luckily our room was ready by then and what a treat to stay in a princess room near the pool. We loved that we could go to Disney Springs and some of the theme parks by boat! We went fishing and roasted marshmallows every night after long days at the park!
