California PCH Roadtrip The Pacific Coast Highway is one of the most iconic road trips: from the winding roads through the Redwoods, down through the large cities, and out over the iconic Big Sur Bridges, zig-zagging along the cliffs 100s of feet above the ocean, and then back through the cities. The PCH Highway 1 is truly an iconic route with iconic views. This route is particularly special to me, as I went to school in Monterey, and often went up to San Francisco (where my

The old saying goes, been there, seen that, got the t-shirt, but we all know the truer statement today is been there, seen that, got the instagram and made my friends jealous. Whether you get a t-shirt, or an Instagram picture (or even conquered a city!) there is so much more to travel than showing off. While Instagram photos and souvenirs are relatively new things, people have been traveling since the beginning of time. But has the motive changed? Absolutely! Travel allows

over the past few years while I've been collecting postcards from my travels. at first i didn't know what i would do with them. then last year I had an idea of making a coffee table out of them so then all I had to do was wait until I had a permeant place I could have a coffee table. What you'll need: table- amazon Mod poge- Amazon brushes- amazon the table comes flat packed so first I had to assemble to assemble the table. Step 2 - laying out my postcards, my first idea was

Last January I did my first ever marathon and before we even finished my sister was already talking about doing it again next year, and I thought she was crazy but somehow come August, I saw myself paying for a Disney package for the marathon. I started training this year taking it really seriously not only did I do 20,000 steps a day I also worked out with a trainer in London at equinox from September till I left in December. Two days after I got home I got sick I was throw

As of yesterday, I have less than a week left in London and my time in London will end my easy European adventures. With all my essays turned in, just one straightforward final to do, and my classes canceled for the week, I had some time to do what I wanted which ended up being a few different things. Firstly, my friend had been planning to come and visit me, and do one last trip to Harry Potter studios and hotel. Sunday, December 3rd My Old Dutch- my friend, arrived Saturday

Thursday 23rd Happy Thanksgiving. Flight- I flew out of Heathrow because I got a fantastic deal on British Airways. I decided to fly out on Thursday because last time I felt it was such a waste flying out in the morning you don't really end up spending the day in the city because you're just exhausted from flying. Hotel - Renaissance Amsterdam as always I stayed in a Marriott Amsterdam has 2, and I stayed in the renaissance which is there fun, unique cool brand and is pretty

As I am graduating university in December and hopefully starting a job thereafter, I wanted to take a special break for my last school holiday. Back in March, my mom started looking into what would be reasonable as well as something new and exciting. She was able to find a cruise that went to exciting cities that we hadn’t been to and was entirely reasonable. After we booked it my friend kind of jokingly said “I want to go” and I said well then come and she was like really ok

I really wanted to see Christian Dior Couturier du Reve exhibit in Paris at Les Arts Decoratifs and since I was going to do that I thought I should finally go up the Eiffel Tower, I have so much to do and see this semester that I didn’t know ifs should spend time and money on a weekend in Paris so I thought I would just do it in a very long day head over early in the morning and back late in the day. But a few days before I talked to my mom and she convinced me to see how muc

As my time in Europe is coming to an end quicker than I may like, sadly I didn’t fall in love with a Brit and marrying him nor is it likely I will find a job here. So with that thought in mind, I must visit all the places I’ve wanted to see forever (or at least some.) first stop Stockholm. Friday, September 29th - I caught a plane from Stanstead Friday morning- which I’ve decided I will never do for two reasons: 1) Stanstead is so far it cost more than you could ever save 2)

I had heard of antelope canyon on Instagram and its something relatively close to my place in Utah, so my mom and I thought we would go. After doing some research, We found out you have to make an appointment because it's on the Navajo reservation so we looked into the possibility of going as you have to make reservations. Sunday 27th we headed out Sunday morning as we got a reservation Monday morning. the drive from park city is about 6 hours. Marriott- as always we stayed a

Growing up I lived in Utah and it's so close to a lot of the national parks but weirdly enough we never went because they were so close, so it never felt like a priority but now that I live away particularly in Europe it seems like such a waste that I was so close and never went so these past few years I've made an effort to go and see these places. I mentioned it to my sister, and she wanted to do it too so we planned to do it over the weekend so she could meet up with us an

My sisters birthday is July 30th, so I flew out Friday morning from Charlotte visiting my niece and nephews.My sister lives in Santa Monica, so I visited her at work, and then we were able to drive out to Anaheim. We're obsessed with Disneyland (not as much as some people but obsess nonetheless.) growing up so close we started going when we were five and then took some trips around 8 and 10 for my sister's graduations. And then around 11 we started going all the time when we

Since I came home after my internship ended my mom and me have been planning some mini trips to go and see some of the places that are so close to us, but I had never been to. The first trip was to Moab to see the arches and go to skydiving. Friday 21st 7:30 leave park city 11:30 Arrive in Moab- since it was a last minute trip we didn't have a lot of choices for hotels my mom decided on the Bowen motel. The rooms were pretty nice, but the check in lady was really rude she cle

Tuesday, July 4th Happy 4th of July ​The morning of the 4th we flew from Heathrow to Bilbao Spain Guggenheim- since we were flying into Bilbao I insisted on seeing the Guggenheim there it is a beautiful building by Frank Gerry. Lunch- we eat at a small mom and pop shop in the city before leaving. San Juan de Gaztelugatxe- there's a beautiful church on the cliffs that you can hike to in this little town. We drove with the intention of going here but after walking the around th

It's finally here I've been planning for months, and my family finally came and saw London. Both my parents have been to London and visited me once a year since I started for short trips while my sister Ali visited me once when she was studying in Rome and this past year for Thanksgiving. But my older sisters hadn't had the chance to come and see me with work and family. Though they had both been, my oldest studied at Oxford in college 17 years ago while my other sister had b

I wanted to make gift bags for everyone when they come for my graduation. i was thinking of a traditional hamper but i thought it was impractical. so I came up with the idea of natural grocery bags people in london carry. like the Fortnum and Mason bag. I had an Idea in my head of my Initials and graduation cap as the trips to celebrate my graduation. but it didn't look right. then i added the stripes in my school colors and decided to ditch the hat all together. having ord

For Easter, I went up to Scotland to visit some family friends for the four-day holiday. My friends live in an authentic rural town in Scotland the town is all of 500 people and the next biggest town around is Dumfries with has some 30,000 people. It takes somewhere between four to five hours to get to Dumfries from London Euston and then a 45-minute drive from their to their house. ​​ People crowded waiting for the train to be announced it's hilarious when it finally goes u

Maybe this is something only my family does, but we love to immerse ourselves in movies taking place in the city. With that thought in mind, I put together my favorite movie and TV Shows that will get you in the English and London spirit. They are based on my family's preferences; there are many of films set in London these are the mostly rom coms side. Movies Paddington- this might be my favorite London movie. Both the story and the inclusion of the city and culture in the s

It's My birthday on Tuesday and to celebrate I had some friends with me in London, and we Did everything Harry Potter (or tried). It all started because I tried to buy harry potter and the cursed child tickets around last January and I couldn’t get any tickets in the early dates, so I decided to get tickets for the weekend of my birthday. I invited one of my close friends in London, and another close friend from Edinburgh with her boyfriend all joined me for the play, and my
