Long Island’s east end is known for their wine region; so Bae and I being wine lovers had to make a trip out there. I thought we were just going to 1 winery but nope we actually went to FOUR! We left home super early to beat traffic but for some reason there was still a…

Weekend Getaway: Philly Edition
Sometimes you just need a little break from your normal surroundings. Over the last couple of months I’ve been juggling work, studying, classes and trying to make time for my personal life. So a break from my normal routine was very much-needed. Philly is so close to New York (1.5 hour drive) that you could actually…
Bermuda: 22 miles of Paradise
Jetblue was so good to us in 2016. One sale or deal after another. So I was able to snag a good deal to Bermuda ($198 RT). So you know me “Ms. Book it now and figure it out later”…that’s exactly what I did! I knew nothing about Bermuda, only that they had pink sand beaches…
Dallas,TX: Foodie edition
Sooooo I finally made it back to Dallas (after my canceled trip in July), I wasn’t really sure when I could squeeze it in but I made it work. So remember that tip I gave a few post back about taking a few days off in advance?…well I did just that. I booked sometime in…
Long Beach, New York
Not all getaways have to be far! Long Beach is literally 45mins to an hour from Staten Island. About two months prior we were looking for places to go for Memorial weekend; we were hoping to come across some kind of flight deal but that didn’t happen. Then we started looking into Atlantic City- hotel…
Sheikh Zayed Mosque (The Grand Mosque)
During my Abu Dhabi & Dubai, UAE trip I mentioned that we went to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi, but i did’t go into much detail in that post. I think it’s only right that I go into a little bit more detail and elaborate on this experience as well as share more photos…
Dallas, Texas
Visiting family is always a great reason to travel! My cousin moved to Dallas, Texas a couple of year ago, and I’ve been saying that I would go down to visit. Then when she had her daughter last year July, i was determined to finally go. I started looking up flights and low and behold Southwest was…
San Juan, Puerto Rico
Schedule random days off of work even if you don’t have anything planned yet! In August I requested a few days off for a long weekend; I wasn’t sure if I would use them or cancel it; but I just wanted them just in case. Then about 3 weeks before those days I found a…
Interact with the locals
Get connected! It’s one thing to go visit different countries and cities abroad but it’s another to get insight and see how the locals live and hear some of their stories. When I go on my trips, especially abroad I definitely look forward to interacting with the locals. I like to hear about their lives…
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Weekend Getaway! The Made in America music festival was a great way to end the summer and kick off the fall. It takes place Labor Day weekend in the city of Brotherly Love-Philadelphia. My friend and I actually made this a four-day weekend. We drove down to Philadelphia early Friday afternoon; it was only about…
