Just when I thought I couldn’t love the Pacific Northwest any more than I did already… I spent 4 days in Vancouver at Fairmont Pacific Rim and almost never left. Why? Because Vancouver is everything everyone has said it’d be – charming, beautiful, a foodie haven, filled with happy people, and an all-around joy....
If there’s one California “weekend getaway” spot that I frequent the most, it’s hands down San Luis Obispo in the Central Coast. Located just about 3 hours north of LA and about 3 hours south of the SF Bay Area, San Luis Obispo is an ideal and easy-going place to get a change...
This post has been a long time coming. After countless trips and years of “experience”, it’s finally time to take a deep dive into a subject I have become almost fluent in, and that is PALM SPRINGS. Palm Springs is just about every Angeleno’s choice destination for a weekend wellness getaway; it’s our sanctuary,...
Everyone deserves the right to an epic road trip at least once in their life, and there really is no better place to do so than through sunny (and stupidly beautiful) Southern California. Sure, I might be a bit bias, my love for this particular part of the state knows no bounds, but there is...
I know what you’re thinking. And the answer is YES Toronto can be a weekend getaway for Angelenos. If I can do it, you can do it, and thus you definitely should. I just spent 3 gorgeous days in “The Six” (which turns out only 7% of people who live there actually refer to...
I have a confession to make. I have lived in Southern California for over 10 years and I had never been to Catalina until last week. And now it’s your turn to admit that you haven’t been in a while either! If ever! Oh, the shame. BUT I would like to state for the record...
Following Part 1 of my most recent “Europe Diaries” post – the quick guide to Paris – we’re moving right along on to the second and third stops from our recent trip: Vienna & Budapest! Two cities I had never been to up until this point, had only heard incredible things about – and...
It has been a little over a week since I have returned from my grand travels across Europe and I still reeling from the incredible and unforgettable experience. It was also one of the most tiring of experiences I think I’ve had but, as the French say – c’est la vie baby! I travel...
If you were to ask me what my favorite city in the world was – besides, LA, of course – Mexico City would be somewhere in my top 3 choices. I have always loved visiting Mexico, but Mexico City is on a whole other level of culture, fun, and beauty. The Mexico most of us...
Raise your hand – or fluke – if you’ve been to Alaska. Now raise your hand if you hated it. (I guarantee no one is raising their hand because it’s impossible!) I’ve never been to a place on earth that more people in agreement over. Seriously. Everybody loves Alaska – myself now being included. My...
