Camelback Mountain, a perfect spot for hiking in Phoenix, is named for its distinctive shape. The mountain is a popular destination with challenging trails and breathtaking views of the surrounding desert landscape. Do not do this hike if you are afraid of heights.

You can hike to a lookout point above the bend to take in the panoramic views of the river below. The sheer cliffs and vibrant blue waters of the Colorado River are stunning. The overlook also offers a glimpse of the surrounding desert landscape, including red rock formations and distant mountains. Horseshoe Bend is a short drive from popular attractions such as Antelope Canyon and Lake Powell, making it a convenient stop for those exploring the area. Visiting during the sunset or sunrise is recommended. Ari and I went at sunset as shown in the photo above and it was so beautiful.
Yellowstone covers over 2.2 million acres of wilderness, with lakes, canyons, rivers, and mountains to explore. The park is known for its incredible geothermal features, including the famous Old Faithful geyser.
Zion National Park is home to popular hiking trails such as the Narrows, a challenging trek through the river, and Angels Landing, a steep and exhilarating ascent to a panoramic viewpoint.

Being a bridesmaid is exciting because you will support and celebrate the bride as she embarks on this new chapter in her life. As a bridesmaid, you get to be there every step of the way, from helping with wedding planning to standing by her side on the big day. I was a bridesmaid for my sister’s wedding in Nashville and my best friend Allie’s wedding in New Jersey. Both weddings were perfect and I seriously had the time of my life. I am so grateful that I was there for them on their special day.
A coral reef is an underwater ecosystem home to corals, fish, and other marine life. These intricate and diverse ecosystems are in warm, shallow waters, typically in tropical and subtropical regions. The best spot to spot a coral reef is at BABY BEACH in ARUBA! All you have to do is bring your snorkel gear.
Snorkeling is a great way to experience the beauty of marine life and coral reefs up close. You can observe colorful fish and other underwater creatures in their natural habitat.
One of the most well-known regions for island hopping is the Greek Islands, where travelers can visit islands such as Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete in one trip. Each island is charming, from the white-washed buildings and winding cobblestone streets of Mykonos to the stunning sunsets at Santorini.
The pink sand beach is a stunning natural wonder in Harbour Island, Bahamas. The beach gets its unique pink color from the presence of tiny red organisms called Foraminifera that live in the coral reefs surrounding the beach. These organisms have pink shells that break down and mix with the white sands, creating the pink hue.

Black sand beaches are formed from volcanic rocks and minerals eroded by the ocean. You can find black sand beaches in Santorini! This photo was taken on Perissa Beach in Santorini, a volcanic island!

American Alligators have one of the most powerful bites ever recorded of a living animal. Alligators are captivating creatures and what better way to see them than on an airboat tour through the Everglades? Also, the park puts together a DANGEROUS show after the boat ride. The brave performer put his head inside the Alligator’s mouth. Can you believe it? I was SO scared for him.
Surfing can be hard, but with a few lessons and TONS of practice, it can become a fun hobby.
Go white water rafting down a rapid river for the ultimate adrenaline rush! Tom and I experienced this activity in Lake George, and it was not as terrifying as I had thought it would be.
Epcot is quite EPIC, with authentic cuisine from around the world throughout the park. I had my first LEGAL MARGARITA at Epcot at a Mexican restaurant on my 21st birthday!
During your excursion, you will have the chance to snorkel alongside these magnificent creatures as they glide gracefully through the water. I was able to hold and feed the stingray squid!
Zip lining is fun and safe because you are securely harnessed and attached to the cable as you soar through the mountains at high speeds. All you have to do is hold on and take in the incredible scenic views. Tom and I went zip lining in Costa Rica, and it was great up until the point where we had to ROPE SWING from one small platform to another over a river and that was terrifying.
The desert is a peaceful place to explore, but DO NOT go alone or get lost because it can be difficult to navigate. The best hike in the Negev Desert in Israel is Ein Avdat. I seriously loved it so much and will forever recommend this activity to anyone traveling to Israel.
Whale sharks are the largest fish in the sea and are quite majestic. Swimming with them will be an experience that you will remember forever.
Rio Celeste waterfall is the most beautiful turquoise color. There is a short walk through the rainforest to get to the waterfall. I recommend booking a tour because the tour will also take you to a sloth sanctuary. The sanctuary is set in their natural habitat so you will have to view the sloths with binoculars because they are high up sleeping in the trees.
Canyoneering is a popular outdoor thirty-minute adventure. Tourists travel by climbing, jumping, and swimming down creeks and streams within the canyon. You will reach Kawasan Falls at the end of the hike. I completed Canyoneering in Cebu, Philippines in June of 2017. This activity is for you if you love the adrenaline rush.
Admire the views of the ocean from a parasail anywhere in the Caribbean.
Sea bob snorkeling is a fun activity because you do not have much to do other than take in the views. The sea bob will hold you up and all you have to do is press a button. We saw a wild sea turtle, tropical fish, and an abandoned shipwreck at Mango Halto in Aruba.
Notre Dame has stood as a symbol of French religious and cultural identity. Tragically, Notre Dame suffered a devastating fire on April 15, 2019, causing extensive damage to its roof. The building is currently being rebuilt.
Dolphins are one of the smartest creatures in the sea and swimming with them will be the time of your life. I even got to kiss a dolphin at Coral World Ocean Park in Saint Thomas.
Snakes are fascinating creatures. Holding a snake can provide an opportunity to learn more about their behavior and unique characteristics.
We woke up in the middle of the night to hike up one of the world’s most beautiful volcanos in Bali, Mount Batur. Hiking in pitch black was scary, but the flashlights and our tour guide helped us navigate the way. We got to the top of the mountain at sunrise and were pleasantly surprised by the stunning views. We even got to enjoy coffee at the top of the volcano!
The Bellagio Hotel is most famous for its beautiful, indoor garden and spectacular fountain display. Almost every piece at this indoor display at the Bellagio Hotel is made out of roses. They have four seasonal displays throughout the year. I went to the Christmas display in 2020 and the Chinese New Year display in 2017.
Goat yoga is an interactive experience with…you guessed it… goats. The goats will jump on your back as you move from pose to pose in your calming yoga session. You even get to feed the baby goats.
Tom and I got to swim in a cave at Scape Park in Punta Cana and it was slightly chilly. The color was so blue and unique. It will be an experience that I will remember forever.

Paris is a beautiful city in Europe most famous for the Mona Lisa painting at the Louvre Museum and the iconic views of the Eiffel Tower. If you witness the Eiffel Tower at night, you will see the monument sparkle!
Rome has some of the most beautiful ancient ruins in Europe, so booking a Colosseum underground tour to skip the LONG line should be added to your European bucket list. The tour is a great way to learn about the history of Rome and how Gladiators would not only fight each other but also ferocious animals. The prisoners would get fed to the starving animals, too.
Germany has more castles than any other European country, from the Neuschwanstein Castle to the Burghausen Castle. What better way to see them all than go on a Castle Tour?
The Swiss Alps and lakes are stunning and the best way to see them is along a scenic train ride.
Croatia has the most beautiful coastline in Europe thanks to the beautiful, turquoise water. Sailing at sunset will be the time of your life! I also recommend booking a 5-Island speedboat tour to see more of what Croatia has to offer.
Machu Picchu is a beautiful ancient citadel in the mountains that you won’t forget!
Cartagena is a coastal city along the Caribbean. I am going in August and can’t wait! We will book the walking tour to learn more about the culture from a local!

Iguazu Falls is powerful and spectacular! You can book a boat ride or even go on a helicopter ride above it!
The carnival is a lively performance with beautiful colorful costumes and music where 12 samba schools compete to win!
Tokyo is a lovely place with a fascinating culture and history to learn about. Don’t forget to visit the Meiji Shrine, Tokyo National Museum, Sensoji Temple, Imperial Palace, and the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Booking a Tokyo guided day tour is a great way to see what the country has to offer in a short period of time.
Witness the beauty of one of the world’s most iconic religious sites, Angkor wat, on a sunrise TOUR!
Mount Everest is the earth’s highest mountain at 29,000ft above sea level between Nepal and Tibet. It is a dangerous trek, so BE CAREFUL if you ever decide to take on the adventure and go with a tour or better yet, book a helicopter ride above it!
The beaches in Bali are gorgeous! Nusa Penida Island is one of the best places for any beach lover to explore!

Get Your Guide is an incredible company that offers tours around the world with local guides who can teach you about the culture and history of the place you are traveling to. Not only will you be able to do more than one thing at the destination that you are visiting, but transportation and trying the local food are often included. Below are the 10 unique tours to book from Get Your Guide based on research and personal experience.
I recently went to Portugal and one of our day trips was a boat tour through the Algarve and a stop at the beautiful beaches in Lagos that I booked from Get Your Guide.
The Benagil Boat tour stopped through the most beautiful sights ever, thanks to the clear water crashing along the enormous limestone and sandstone cliffs off the coast of Portugal. There are so many geological formations along the way and what better way to see the rock formations than on a boat?
There are over 100 beaches to discover in Lagos; however, the beaches we saw from a lookout point on the tour were Praia Do Camilo and Ponte de Piedade.
We even got to go out to eat at Luca’s Rooftop. I highly recommend this restaurant because the views from the rooftop were incredible, and the food was delicious. Even if you do not book this tour, I recommend making a reservation because this restaurant was phenomenal, thanks to the DELICIOUS chicken wings, t-bone steak, and grilled king tiger prawns we ordered. The margarita was a perfect mix of sweet and salty. Our waiter was kind and gave us FREE Porto wine to try at the end of our meal. The wine was delightful and a fun fact is that I got to have two glasses because my boyfriend does not drink wine.
Our tour started and ended in Lisbon, which meant a three-hour drive both ways, so if you are on a time limit and are staying in Lisbon, book this tour; however, if you have more time, I recommend staying in Lagos and avoiding the long journey in one day.
WOW! The Sintra Day Trip was incredible, thanks to our tour guide! Tom and I had the best time because our day was educational and entertaining. We did not stop laughing and seriously had the best day on our vacation in Lisbon. We visited Sintra and Pena Palace.
The Palace was breathtaking, with its stunning views of the greenery and mountains, and I even got to enjoy a delicious hot chocolate while taking in the scenery.
After the Palace, we headed to Azenhas do Mar Beach to explore the natural seawater pools, which was an impressive view.
We also visited Europe’s most western point, which used to be known as the “End of the World” back when people thought the world was flat.
Throughout the day, we stopped by two beautiful towns, Sintra, a World Heritage Site, and Cascais, a charming seaside town. My favorite town was Cascais because of the palm trees, restaurants, coffee shops, souvenir shops, and the nearby beach.
I will never forget the traditional dance the Balinese natives performed with the flames of fire and traditional yet colorful costumes. I have an entire video of the performance. The video has a segment of my friend Ari, who was with me at the Kecack Dance in Bali, and her facial expressions are everything! The performance takes place at the Uluwatu Temple and as the sunsets daily. The cultural performance represents Balinese Hinduism! The show is a rhythmic chant and Balinese dance showcasing the battle from the Hindu epic Ramayana in which Rama fights the demonic King Ravana with the help of the monkey god Hanuman.
One of my favorite Caribbean Islands is Turks and Caicos, thanks to the incredible turquoise blue waters. A perfect day trip to book on the Island is an off-road buggy tour. You will see the Island’s rugged terrain and visit hidden gems on the adventure. Three memorable stops will be at Blue Hills Mountain, Pirate Cove, and Chalk Sound National Park. You will hear about the legends of Pirates who had experienced shipwrecks at Pirate Cove.
I LOVED Saint Thomas, perhaps more than Turks and Caicos, because I was with my perfect boyfriend and it was very romantic. We got to go on this Catamaran tour I am recommending to you! You will set sail on a catamaran, where you will enjoy rum punch and go snorkeling with sea turtles and other underwater sea life.
I stayed in Castries and had the time of my life in Saint Lucia, from seeing the Pitons to relaxing at our all-inclusive hotel with 360-degree views. One of the highlights was adventuring outside our PERFECT resort and going on a day tour to see the world’s only drive-in volcano, swimming in mineral springs at the beautiful botanical gardens, enjoying a relaxing mud bath, and seeing two waterfalls. The waterfalls were breathtaking. You even go rum-tasting and stop at an incredible lookout point to see the Pitons from afar. Dannyboy made the experience FUN and UNFORGETTABLE.
This top-rated tour from Tokyo will take you to discover the infamous Mount Fiji, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will see views of the iconic mountain from Kawaguchi Lake, 5th Station, and Oshino Hakkai! Lastly, you will stroll through the Arakura Sengen Shrine and learn about Japanese history and culture.
I booked this combo ticket in Athens and trust me, the ticket does not disappoint. You will see the top sites in Athens and avoid LONG lines, from the Acropolis and the Roman Agora to Aristotle’s School and Keramikos Ancient Cemetery. You can wander through the sites at your own pace. My favorite spot was the breathtaking views of the city from Acropolis Hill.
Rainbow Mountain is a gorgeous colored mountain not far from Cusco, and the best way to hike it is with a guide. You will have the option to see Red Valley for even more beautiful views along the journey. Be careful because of elevation. If you are not an experienced hiker, the option to ride a horse to get to the top is always there. At the top, you will most likely spot alpacas, llamas, and vicunas while soaking in the views.
I am going to Cartagena, Colombia this summer during August of 2024 and you bet your bottom dollar I am booking this 5-stop Island Hopping Tour with lunch and snorkeling. You will travel by speedboat to see Rosario Island, Cholon Island, and Baru. As you go snorkeling, you will see the remains of one of Pablo Escobar’s former planes underwater and wildlife in the beautiful crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean. I CAN’T WAIT!
