Just an hour by train, Rome and Florence are the perfect combo for a short Italian city break. Here are all the foodie spots we tried and loved!🍝🍕🍨🥞

The Great Smoky Mountains are beautiful. I have had the pleasure to live on the North Carolina side and my brother in Sevierville to know great attractions for any group dynamic. There are some areas that are more touristy, some pure nature, and some that are a mix of the two.

I'm definitely one that loves to display my travels, these are my go to items to help with that. Comment with any questions you have!

Though I personally just call it home, the Caribbean island of Jamaica is one of the most popular tropical vacation spots on this side of the Atlantic. There is a valid reason why. Apart from being the land that bore the world the likes of Bob Marley and Usain Bolt, it is popularly featured on many a bucket list because of its powdery sand beaches and its vibrant culture that non-natives can easily immerse themselves in and resurface for the journey home with awesome memories for a lifetime. Montego Bay, Ocho Rios and Negril are the most popular locations for vacationing. These two micro cities and a tranquil town are located along the island’s western seaboard and can be experienced in a quick weekend getaway or a week-long vacation. If your starting point is Montego Bay (my home-base and ‘MoBay’ to locals), facing the sea, you can go right to Ocho Rios in 2 hours and go left to Negril in the same amount of time. There is a wide variety of things to do and see for every variation of interest in either direction. Here is a list of the most popular attractions and lesser known gems that you can put on your to-do list when you drop by to say hi!.

I visited Portugal in May, and it's a charming place. I'd recommend going in April, May, September, or October for milder weather and fewer crowds. Portugal is budget-friendly; we used Uber everywhere in Porto and Lisbon, which was cheaper than taking taxis. Some taxis only take cash, so be sure to check with the driver before getting in. We took the comfortable train ride from Porto to Lisbon and scored discounts by buying tickets in advance. Inform your bank about your travel plans; I did not do it and could only withdraw cash in Lisbon but not Porto. Many attractions are crowded, so consider tour options to skip the lines if time is important for you. Bring comfortable shoes!! Lots of walking on cobblestone streets and Lisbon is hilly.

My major must haves for any travel .. featuring luggage, clothing, and entertainment.

We kept doing the same dinner-and-movie loop until I snapped and packed a basket for the park — now it's our thing. If you and your person are stuck in a rut and need something that feels romantic without a reservation or a $200 tab, this is everything I packed that made us feel like we had our lives together. Took me a few awkward park dates with paper plates blowing away to nail this setup.

After three weeks in Paris, every arrondissement started blending together and I craved something that didn't involve dodging selfie sticks near the Eiffel Tower. If you're the type who gets antsy staying in one city too long — or you've already done the Louvre twice and need a reason to wake up early — these are the day trips that genuinely knocked me sideways. Took me two separate trips to France to piece this together so you can just screenshot it and go.

Iceland is a magical country - and for those that tell you to go in the summer because winter is too unpredictable with the weather, don’t listen to them!

Luang Prabang, the cultural center in northern Laos, blew me away. Situated on the mighty Mekong River, this town is a patchwork quilt of beautiful nature, fresh food, and artisan shops. Laos has put effort to make this town BEAUTIFUL and classy. My guide to Luang Prabang may be a little biased because it holds such a special place in my heart. Surprisingly, the center of the city almost feels like Europe, with tables set up in the street to people-watch while you slowly drink a coffee. The best part of my visit was wandering around the stunning alleyways, peeking in artisan shops and taking in the vibes. Not only is Luang Prabang reminiscent of the ancient Lanna kingdom with its beautiful brown traditional houses against green palm trees, but also in its influence of the French rule — as noted by the laissez faire cafes & best buttery croissant I’ve had in Southeast Asia.

We all know the typical stuff LA pumps out, but there is so much to see and discover here beyond Hollywood (which is overrated in my opinon) and Santa Monica. I hope you enjoy my mix of well and lesser known spots and things to do. Oh and this is a cool non profit Ive volunteered for that is cooking meals for people displaced by the LA fires and helping the LA fire 🏬 stay fueled.
