Searching for "Nice"

How Nice are you France?

Get it? I can’t help when I’m punny for all the pun jokes around Nice, France.

Anyways, I needed to continue on with my European trip because there was still a whole slew of places I had visited and never got to write about. One of the lovely places being Nice, which is located in the south of France.

ABC’s of Travel

Nostalgia. That’s a big thing in the digital world right now.

Throwbacks of Britney Spears’ Baby One More Time outfit #FreeBritney and seeing N*SYNC and Backstreet Boys collab together just give you all the feels.

And so when I came across this little ABC’s of Travel questionnaire, it brought me back to my Xanga and LiveJournal days and I figured, why not?

Why not have a little fun on my blog and bring back all the nostalgic feels as I make my way back into the digital media world? Why not have an enjoyable post that will bring me back to my traveling days and get me on the up and up on this blogging thing.

So without further ado: My ABC’s of Traveling.

Chester Minima Carry-On Luggage Thoughts – Getting My perfect Carry-On Luggage

(The following post has been sponsored by chestertravels.com). You can see my disclosure page here


Carry-on.

That is my way of traveling. And I was always a backpack carry-on girl for most of my life.

That was until I got the Chester Minima Carry-on luggage.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m still a backpack girl. But when they reached out to me about sending me their Chester Minima Carry-on to review, I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to feel like a grownup, and actually own my first real carry-on luggage. (I usually borrow my parents. Hi, I’m in my late 20s).

How To Do Coachella Like a Local

Once upon a time I was sitting at my work computer, I had multiple web browsers up and my phone in my lap, just in case. When that clock struck the hour, I was on it. And after multiple attempts I actually made it, I got me and my friend Coachella tickets for weekend 1!

This was a big deal. Like a hug deal. But this was also way back before hologram 2Pac came alive on the Coachella stage. It was cheaper and easier then.

But even though things have definitely changed in the Coachella game since I last went, I figured my knowledge of Coachella is still relevant because I went with a local Coachella resident.

Cruise Ship Fun: Norwegian Gem

If you didn’t know, the islands I went to from these posts were all because I went on a cruise that took me to these wonderful islands. And that cruise was for 10 days, and only 4 of them were spent at the islands.

So, what about the other 6 days?

Well, I got to experience the fun times of the Norwegian Gem. And boy did they not disappoint. They had so much to do to keep your vacation both fun and relaxing.

Two Hours in Pisa, Italy

Italy. Honestly one of my favorite countries. It has wonderful food and beautiful cities. As much as I wanted to spend days in each country if I could, all it took was just a few hours in Pisa, Italy and we were all set.

Pisa, if you did not know is where The Leaning Tower of Pisa is. And that’s basically the town.

Welcome back to day 3 of my book launch. Also happy Labor day! As for the title, I’m not talking about my book, The Princess Center (Out September 14), it’s going to be about Samaná, Dominican Republic!

The Ultimate Guide to the Mall of America

Ever wonder what it’s like to venture into a mall that’s the size of an amusement park? Well, look no further than the infamous Mall of America. And let me tell you, it’s probably even bigger than some amusement parks.

I visited the Mall of America back when I was living in South Dakota as a little mini getaway to Minnesota. You can read about my morning in Minneapolis and at the Spoonbridge and Cherry Park right here.

Now I’ve heard about Mall of America, which is located in Bloomington, Minnesota, which is not too far from Downtown Minneapolis. I’ve seen Mall of America on TV loads of time. I mean Travel Channel always would feature this place as a place to visit for any and all people. And it for sure didn’t disappoint when I visited.
