A World Worth Seeing Book Review + Giveaway!

This post is sponsored by the Book Publicity Services. As always, all opinions are my own.

I’ve spoken often of how I love when the Universe brings together things that I love in the best way. Like when I ran the ‘Run The Runway 10K‘ which combined my love of airplanes and running. Or every time I try a new restaurant from a place I recently visited. Or this time, when I read a book about traveling that makes me feel like I am traveling, even if I am just at the nail salon, at my house, in my car, or at dinner reading while waiting for a friend.

Today, we are discussing a book that speaks about one of my favorite loves: travel.

That book is “A World Worth Seeing” by Brian Nelson, a world traveler. In A World Worth Seeing, Brian Nelson takes readers through North and South America, Australia and the Pacific Islands, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. It’s a shorter book (only about 90 pages) and it’s a super quick read.

I Captioned All of My Canadian Vacation Pictures With Drake Lyrics!

In my 26 years of life, I’ve learned that sometimes the best things in life come from the most surprising of places. Last year, when I was getting ready to take a trip to Vancouver, Canada I jokingly said to a friend that I would caption all of my travel photos with Drake lyrics, because he is a Canadian rapper. My friend laughed, and encouraged me to actually do it, so I did!

It was so much fun, not only listening to Drake on my flight to Canada but to be a little more creative in my captions so that you could all laugh and enjoy the experience with me.

This week, Drake dropped a new album and one of his lyrics low key made me mad because he kind of made a dig at travel bloggers with the lyrics ‘I know a girl that saves pictures from places she’s flown, To post later and make it look like she still on the go’. I just want to make it clear that Drake obviously doesn’t have a full time job AND a blog so excuse you Drake, get me some free tickets! 😉

Check out my Vancouver photos with Drake lyrics and let me know which is your fave!

7 Photos To Inspire You To Visit Faro Los Morrillos in Puerto Rico!

In just three weeks I’ll be heading to North Carolina to visit one of my closest friends who happens to be Puerto Rican and who also happens to be the very reason I visited this beautiful island a few years ago. I visited Puerto Rico with my friend to celebrate Christmas there (Hello Navidades Boricuas!) and I fell absolutely in love.

There is just so much diverse beauty throughout the island and the food is AMAZING! One of my favorite spots in Puerto Rico is Faro Los Morrillos de Cabo Rojo which is the lighthouse in Cabo Rojo! El Faro at Cabo Rojo remains, to this day, one of the few places I’ve traveled to that has literally taken my breath away. Check out seven of my favorite photos and let me know if I’ve convinced you to join me next time 😉

5 Wallpapers From Downtown Vancouver To Inspire You To Visit!

This post is sponsored by Airbnb. As always, all opinions are my own.

A few months ago, I visited Vancouver for the first time ever to celebrate my friend’s last few nights of being single and we had a freaking blast. We splurged a little and stayed at an extravagant Airbnb in Downtown Vancouver with beautiful views and it was so worth it! If you’re not familiar with Airbnb, it is a great way to travel if you are trying to save some cash. Airbnb is a company that allows people to rent out rooms, apartments, or entire homes for travelers! Feel free to use my Airbnb link here to save $40 off of your first Airbnb stay.

I’ve given you all wallpapers from Puerto Rico and from Chicago…who is ready for wallpapers from Vancouver?!

16 Of My Favorite Bucket List Items From 2017!

If you’ve been around for a while you will know that I am a huge advocate of writing things down, in order to manifest them into reality. Because of this, on January 1st, 2017 I wrote a list of 12 bucket list items that I wanted to cross off in 2017. I managed to cross off 5 of the 12 items, hello almost 50% success!

I’ll be writing a 2018 version because choosing 12 bucket list items for the year definitely pushed me to accomplish those goals, and I encourage you to do the same! Enjoy my favorite 16 bucket list items from 2017 listed in the order that they happened!

The items in this post with an asterisk (*) are the items that were in my 2017 bucket list goal list, the rest of the items were not necessarily planned but ended up happening because life is too short to not be spontaneous!

Enthusiastic About Travel : My Favorite Photos From 2017!

My friends, 2017 is almost over! Can you all believe how fast this year has gone?! I feel like 2017 just started, and I think a big part of why 2017 seems to have flown by is because I’ve been fortunate to have done a lot more travel this year. This year I decided that I wanted to see more of the United States and so I did.

Every year, I take some time to reflect on how that year went; and this year I wanted to do something fun. I’ve rounded up one photo per trip to hopefully inspire you to travel a little more! Enjoy!

5 Reasons To Check Out the Milwaukee Art Museum!

Lately, I’ve been catching up with the friends I made during the #WITS17 (Women in Travel Summit 2017) in Milwaukee and it’s been making me miss this hidden gem of a city.

This was my first visit to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I honestly had no idea what to expect…except of course beer, cheese and brats. But there is SO MUCH MORE to this city! I’ll have a Wisconsin Bucket List up soon but for now, let’s focus on the Milwaukee Art Museum.

The Milwaukee Art Museum is one of the largest museums in the United States and has over 25,000 works of art. What impressed me the most about this museum is that the building itself is a work of art!

Check out five reasons to visit the Milwaukee Art Museum and let me know if I’ve convinced you to book a flight 😉
