South Africa is a place that I have always been enticed by. My fathers business is based in South Africa and since I was young he traveled back and forth, sharing his experiences of Safari and the gorgeous landscape of “the cradle of human kind”. He would bring home gifts and crazy ideas but the best thing he brought back to the U.S. was the Peppadew® pepper which was discovered and still grown in the lush region of Tzaneen, Limpopo South Africa . Two years ago I was lucky enough to visit Tzaneen and Johannesburg South Africa to learn about my fathers business, but while there, I was able to indulge in the beauty of the region and also learn about the culture and social issues in the region.
We drove up to the region from Tambo Airport in Johannesburg (about 5 hours). This area is also close to Kruger National Park. As we got closer to Tzaneen and our B&B I rolled down my window; the greenery, flowers and nearby streams added to the freshest natural fragrance I have ever smelled. Along the drive we witnessed monkeys and baboons and other amazing wildlife and agriculture. If anyone loves avocados, this is the place to be! AVO TREES EVERYWHERE!
Something quite contrary to the beautiful scenery and greenery, there was something extremely upsetting I saw during our drive up, and discussed with the locals throughout my trip. We passed Witkruismonument in Ysterberg just outside Polokwane. Here, there are thousands of crosses to honor the lives of those farmers who were murdered during acts of robbery and torture. This has been an issue brought to the U.S. attention as of this year but this issue has been going on for over a decade. If you want to learn more about this issue I have attached a few articles, one dating back to 2012. No matter your take on the situation, it is sad that innocent people are being murdered and that the country had such a brutal history of racism. In speaking to local farmers, they are terrified for their lives and livelihood. Along with murder, people are also destroying their crop and robbing their farming tools. There is so much work we must do globally in order to encourage unite and eliminate all forms of hate.
Sherwoods Country House-This is where I stayed, Older style decor but very clean and generous accommodations from the sweet couple that own the B&B not to mention delicious food
Finding a good place to eat in NYC can be super overwhelming. There are SO many options and so many people soliciting for you to check out their restaurant. Don’t get drawn into tourist traps, follow my short guide with some of my favorite restaurants. I have considered all of the most important factors, taste of food being priority; but also service, atmosphere, speed and cleanliness.
I don’t live in NY but have so many friends that do and have introduced me to these great places. So they have been tested by our “finer pallets” 👌🏻.
I have separated the restaurants by neighborhoods and have input their addresses so if you’re on the go and hungry plug em’ into your GPS 😊
Midtown:
Since this is where most tourists go first, I figured I’d start here. I’m always going to the theatre so when in midtown I want to make sure I choose a restaurant that is on top of things so I can make it to my show but also don’t compromise atmosphere or food quality.
This is one of my all time favorites on restaurant row. The Boeuf Bourguignon is to die for and the French Onion Soup Burger is NYC Wine & Food Festival’s, Two Time Judges Choice Winner. You must try it! Its a small place so call to make a reservation. With dimmed lighting, wood walls and the beefy fragrance in the air you’ll feel like you’re in a back alley restaurant in Paris.
This place is super convenient and has a mixture of multiculturally influenced food. My favorite being the Pork Tenderloins. Its a bistro-like atmosphere with quick service.
I’m not sure about you but I’m an “eat-dessert-before-dinner-kinda-gal” so naturally I love this place. They have homemade chocolate turtle bark right when you walk in, so even if you can’t get a seat, you can have a treat. YUM! They serve Italian food and their main dishes are almost better than their chocolate. They have family style options so that can cut your costs a bit because it can get pricy if you’re hungry.
With four great locations Grey Dog is such a great place to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love their veggie bowls! Super hip atmosphere very casual but serves coffee, beer and wine.
The coolest Indian Fusion food you have ever had. The flavors are unreal! My favorite was the Edamame Artichoke Chaat. The artichokes tasted just like chicken and with the best seasonings ugh! Yum!
Cute little brunch place, there are two locations one on the East Side and on the the West side. I love the atmosphere and the food is great unique options but I always stick to omelette with ham and cheese but it was exceptional.
These are some of my favorites but there is so much more to discover! Stay tuned for updates!
Going to college in Philadelphia, I have done my fare share of exploring in the city. From roaming awesome street festivals to breaking into buildings, trying to get the best vantage points in the city- I have only scraped the surface of what Philly has to offer. Since summer is approaching, I am going to share with you the warm weather activities and places that I love the most.
Events and Places to Check Off:
Chinese Lantern Festival: This is one of my all time favorite happenings in Philadelphia. This city is so appreciative of every culture, especially that of Asian descent. The China Town in Philly is always celebrating cultural events and the Lantern Festival is such a tribute to the artistic welcoming of spring. Check out performances and special presentation hours on their website. Chinese Lantern Festival
Penn’s Landing/ Spruce Street Harbor Park: Penn’s Landing is a Summer Oasis and a Winter Wonderland. Chill on the water nets and hammocks or enjoy a cocktail on the “boardwalk”. Stroll and play around! Check out the concert lineup at Festival Pier for the summer (I will attach link when announced.)
Shofuso Japanese House and Garden: One of my favorite places to relax. The Japanese garden takes you out of Philly and across the globe. Get a tour or just mosey around and read about the Japanese traditions and how the construction of the house and gardens were inspired. They also have traditional tea ceremonies, I have yet to book a session but it is something I’ve been wanting to do, supposedly its amazing. Heres the link for that Ceremonies and Events at Shofuso. (Can you guess? I’m itching to go to Asia).
Boat House Row: This has always been one of my escape locations. I would go to boathouse row mid day to clear my mind and go for a nice walk down the Schyulkill River. If you choose not to walk, you can rent a bike. From here, you can also walk up to the art museum and observe the city, sitting on the “Rocky steps”. Quick parking tip: If you’re staying in the center city area and don’t want to hassle with finding street or garage parking, park in the boathouse area or lot but check for two hour parking signs.
Magic Gardens: What a beauty, created by Isaiah Zagar in 1991, the Magic Gardens is a must see “South Street Renaissance” piece. Spend an hour or so here just finding the little intricacies in the mosaic walls and observing other local art.
Street Festivals & Events: I always look forward to spring time because it means outdoor festivals and events! Some of my favorite is the South Street Spring Fest & Maifest, Chinatown Food Truck Festival (which I’m not sure they do anymore) and of course Made in America. There are also some great art and food festivals in Manayunk that are spectacular as well! Here are the links to the events and dates: Manayunk Street Festivals & Events and Philadelphia Street Festivals & Events.
Sips & Parks on Tap: Whats better than having a drink in your hand, surrounded by friends with a beautiful view. Sips and Parks on Tap are two different organizations that make this a weekly or daily occurrence in Philly. Parks on Tap is a traveling biergarten that makes stops at Philly’s gorgeous parks so you can chill in the park with your favorite friends beers. Sips is every Wednesday, different restaurants and bars pitch in and have special events. Check out their schedule and the restaurants Sips partners with!
All of this activity might make you a little hungry or thirsty, so here are a few of my favorite restaurants, especially in the spring & summer.
Restaurants:
Parc: A Rittenhouse favorite. French cuisine, killer brunch and outdoor seating.
City Tap House: I’ve only been to the Logan Square location, but I would expect greatness at the University City one as well. Some outdoor seating, amazing brussel sprouts and veggie burger. YUM!
Positano Coast by Aldo Lamberti:Great Italian food in Old City killer eggplant they also have bottomless mimosa brunch 🙂 They have live music on certain nights so sit on their outdoor deck and take it all in!
SAMPAN orDouble Knot: Modern Asian food, unique dishes with so much flavor the restaurants share a kitchen. Double Knot has great happy hour pricing but less seating, they both have great atmosphere so check them both out! They’re both right next to Graffiti Bar stop over for an outdoor drink in a hidden alleyway next-door!
Talulas Garden: Great atmosphere with outdoor patio, fresh and flavorful food, photo worthy!
Assembly Rooftop: Amazing views of the Logan Square Area, great signature drinks including Frosé.
Hotels:

As many of you may already know, my parents have a place in Ft. Lauderdale so whenever I’m not working or going on another type of vacation, I am soaking up the sun in Florida. Fort Lauderdale and Miami are basically a staple in every American human’s vacation diet, so why not share my “expertise” of the area.
Let me start by saying, there is always something going on. Its one thing to go to Florida and relax on the beach but Las Olas, Downtown Fort Lauderdale and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea are always popping with events, street fairs and happy hour specials… so why not take advantage? I am half crediting this article to my parents and our apartments concierge, George because they showed me the ropes.
Okay, if you’re like me, when you’re on vacation, part of you wants to be active and take everything in while the other part of you just wants to sleep bake in the sun until you take form of the true baked potato that lives within. So here’s a solution, grab some friends or whoever you’re with and go rent a boat! You can switch off driving, so you can bake and wake. Boat rentals on the intracoastal are really cheap plus you get to play iSpy with the celebs that live in the houses on the water. The company we rented from was Aquatic Boat Rental but Fort Lauderdale Boat Rentals is good too. Check for the best rates. These two rental locations are right across from the beach so you can just walk over to the beach when you’re done boating.
Another relaxing day time activity is motorized or old fashioned paddle boarding, kayaking etc. For this you can stay in Ft. Lauderdale or take a quick trip by water taxi, Uber or drive to Hollywood’s Margaritaville. I suggest if you haven’t been to Margaritaville to take a quick trip over for a change of scenery. They also have the Flo Rider surf contraption, live music and cute shops. So you could spend a few hours there. Just a warning, if you do try to do the motorized paddle board and you’re barely 5ft and don’t weigh a lot, learn how to stop the motor before starting. I made the mistake of not knowing how and I crashed into the boardwalk. So this is my apology for denting their board. I’m referring more people to go because it is fun, I’m just challenged. Visit Waterway Adventures for more info. I also recommend going to our local shop in Ft. Lauderdale to rent kayaks and paddle boards and those party bikes; the owner is sweet and has the cutest little bulldog. Visit Riverwalk Activities for more info.
So you might make fun of me because I made fun of everyone when they suggested snorkeling. But what the heck, it was cool. Bring, buy or rent a pair of goggles and snorkels and dive in. I just go to our local beach and see little schools of shiny fish, but apparently if you swim by the dock at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea there are tons of exotic looking fish and sharks to see. Supposedly they’re not the dangerous kind but I’m not so daring.
A little further north of Beach Place you can rent jet skis. This is always fun too! No need to reserve, just show up but if you’d like call their number: 954- 689-6607.
By the beach or along Las Olas you can rent lime scooters and bikes to enjoy a quick ride!
If you just want to chill and take a walk, mosey down the Riverwalk, which runs along the intracoastal. Every first Sunday of the month there is a Jazz Brunch with live music at Riverwalk Park. Bring your own picnic set up and listen to some good ole Jazz. There are often art festivals on Las Olas Blvd so check to see if they’re having an art fest when you’re there. The pieces they have are so unique.
\
Once nightfalls, theres a whole other element of Fort Lauderdale that is as I like to call it the classier, less flashier, Miami. There are so many amazing places to grab a drink enjoy a happy hour or have a sit down dinner, (which I will mention below) but whether you want a chill night or a club night, you’re in the right location. For a more relaxed evening, grab dinner and walk down Las Olas Blvd, check out the many art galleries especially my favorite, Nat Geo! Take a walk along the beach or head down to Himmarshee Street/ Downtown Ft. Lauderdale for a night out. Some places I like are Rooftop- for a calm drink with a view, Briny Pub- for a more bar feel (but oh you can dance if you want to), Balcony- for a cool indoor/outdoor experience and Sway- if you’re trying to get crazy (don’t put your phone in your back pocket here they have a pick pocketer problem). I’m not the crazy going out type so I love Rooftop.
Ok, now to preface my food recommendations, lets just say there are so many amazing options that you really can’t go so wrong but these are my all time favorites. Also I’m allergic to fish so I unfortunately don’t have any fish dish recommendations, which stinks, I know.
Shooters Calamari THAT SAUCE!!
Restaurants I Highly Recommend:
Shooters: This is my favorite favorite place ever, worth the drive or water taxi over. Great food and an even better view. From their calamari to their ribs to their Impossible Burger, I’m dead, so good.
Boat House: This Restaurant is fairly new, by the Riverside Hotel and I love it. They serve mostly tapas style and all of their dishes are so unique and everything is yummy. The Spiced Chicken Sausage with chickpeas, curry and raisins and the Duck fat potatoes are so delicious.
YOLO: My fathers favorite place ever. Steak on a stick is my favorite here, I would get a meat with whatever their veggie special is. Theres always live music and firepits outside its fun to just have a drink and hang out for a while. They also have great happy hour specials Monday thru Friday from 4:30pm to 7:30pm.
Roccos Tacos: An all time favorite of everyone ever. Theres always something going on there just get the guac and tacos.
El Camino: In neck and neck competition with Roccos Tacos. El Camino is a little more upscale still great Mexican food in the heart of Las Olas
Sky Thai Sushi: I love this place, its not very “Florida” but its great Thai food. I had their Wonton Soup when I was sick once and it saved my life.
Big City Tavern : Your run of the mill American food, I like this one the best because its never crazy crowded like American Social or Louie Bossi
Aruba: In Lauderdale-by-the-Sea again they have amazing fish dishes but I love their Chicken Teriyaki and get the Bimini Bread!
Itinerary:
I would suggest staying for 5 nights or more.
Day 1: Get settled just relax at the pool or beach
A cozy winter getaway is just a few hours away in Mont Tremblant Canada. Talk about winter wonderland, this small-town in Canada makes it feel like Christmas all the time. So, it was fitting to plan the trip around the holidays. This destination is one you can adapt to your likings, you can be adventurous, relax and enjoy great food.
We decided to stay at an apartment/hotel called Cap Tremblant. If you book a room with a view of the mountain its absolutely magnificent. We really enjoyed being in this area because there was a shuttle to the mountain outside our door and it was close to a quaint town that had such cute restaurants and friendly local people to interact with.
So let me begin with skiing/snowboarding. Be sure to book your lift tickets ahead of time, if you book them before the end of December you get a major discount. We were concerned because on the website it says you can book a certain amount of days but we didn’t know if those days had to be consecutive. Turns out you can use your tickets for 10 days within the start date of your choosing. For example we booked 3 days and were able to use them any 3 days we chose throughout our 10 day trip. Obviously the later in the season the better the conditions and more powder but Canada in December is definitely better than the mountains at home! For 3 days skiing was about $245 USD per person. We loved the location because the pedestrian village is at the bottom of the mountain so you can spend the whole day there skiing, eating, shopping and so much more! Everyone in the village is on and off the mountain, so really anywhere you go is super casual, you can stay in your ski clothes and go right to dinner from the mountain, its cool! Since we had a whole kitchen set up in our apartment we opted to just have soup some nights and chill by our fireplace and maybe even swim in our outdoor (heated) pool/hot tub.

If you go to Tremblant you have to dogsled! Visit http://www.expeditionwolf.com/?lang=en to book your excursion. You must first request your dates and they will get back to you to confirm in 24 hours. There are 3 types of excursions, diable, forest and mountain adventure. If you choose to drive the sled, I would suggest doing the easier course, the forest adventure. The guide will pick you up in the village and drive you to their site where they will instruct you in their lodge. Here, juice, coffee, and some snacks are available. Make sure you dress warm and wear your helmet if you have one, otherwise they will provide one. You will then be able to meet the dogs and set them up on the sled. I loved seeing how wound up the dogs get when they know they’re about to run, they are such amazing animals with adorable personalities! Driving the sled alone is definitely challenging. If you want to drive be aware that these doggies are STRONG so proceed with caution and ask for help if you need it. The guides are spectacular, so friendly and willing to help. You will stop once to break and enjoy cookies and hot cocoa, be sure to use the restroom before going on the sled because during the break there’s only an outhouse available. At the end of the ride you will bring the dogs back to their dog houses and then receive a tour. You’ll learn more about what they do to help rescue and maintain a healthy lifestyle for all the dogs they take in. After, they take you back to the lodge where you can enjoy soup and refreshments (if you ride in the early afternoon). There is an option to buy the photos they take of you as well (first and second photo). Your guide will then drive you back to the village where you can enjoy the rest of your day! Be sure to bundle up on this adventure witness my puffiness in the photos.
After skiing and sledding you might want to decompress and have someone work out all of the knots you have from riding. Spa Scandinave is right down the street and has treatments at super reasonable prices you can even get discounts online at Costco or from other Tremblant activities. If you would prefer not to get a treatment, you can still gain access to the Nordic baths, the saunas, relaxation rooms and heated lounges. Spend a day completely relaxing and unwinding, enjoy lunch, the beautiful grounds and just chill. Being in a steaming hot pool or under a warm blanket and a heat lamp while snow is flurrying around definitely makes you feel yummy!
We spent New Years Eve here and they have a huge celebration in the center of the village. They have a DJ and fireworks at midnight at the bottom of the mountain. It was snowing on New Years and it made the night feel extra magical. You should also know it basically flurries all day everyday in Tremblant, I love it!

Over the summer of 2018 I took an amazing trip to Spain. We chose to visit Barcelona, Ronda, Granada and Seville.
We fell in love with each destination and Barcelona definitely felt like a second home. If you’re looking for a clean city to visit in Europe I would say Barcelona is just that. The streets are pristine, and the people that live in the city take pride in their area. Each region we visited had its own culture and beauty. Barcelona, being diverse and filled with art from Gaudi to Picasso, including beautiful history, gorgeous alleyways, cute parks and not to mention a fabulous beach area! Of course we visited La Sagrada Familia which is a MUST, I don’t want to post too many photos because it is something you have to see with your own eyes. The detail and the feelings that erupt while you’re in that place are unreal. We also opted to do the night tour of Casa Mila/ La Pedrera on our last night of the trip. It was an amazing, romantic and a super intimate experience. This tour included a brief history and details of the building with a special light projection show on the roof (with stunning views of the city) and champagne to cap the night off. We didn’t go inside Parc Güell or Casa Batlló or Barcelona Cathedral but they are definitely someplace you’ll want to visit even to just walk the premises and observe from the outside. We obviously ate some delicious food, I will list our favorite spots in the outline but I would definitely check out Mercado de La Boqueria, be a tourist and taste the fresh food and witness culture within each stand. In this area especially walking down las rambles and in front of the Barcelona Cathedral, keep your belongings secure, this is where pick-pocketers lurk. Enjoy a hike to montserrat, walk around the gothic quarter and stop into shops in la Gracia. Try to speak as much Spanish as you can everywhere you go, the locals really appreciate it. Most people do speak English though, especially in Barcelona, but if you find yourself having difficulty use google translate or gestures to help. I found myself in a conversation discussing food with a man strictly using animal sounds to determine the type of meat I was ordering. Anything goes! Here we spent 3 nights before setting off to the southern region; we eventually circled back for two nights before our flight home. Spending a total of 5 nights and 4 days in Barcelona.

The first stop we made in the south was Ronda in the Andalucia region. A quaint yet breathtaking city. We happened to hit it right, and were there for the Ronda Romantica (May Day) Parade and celebrations. During this time, thousands of people from neighboring towns parade down the streets of Ronda in traditional “romantic” clothing and represent their town with song, dance and surprisingly enough, liquor. It is really something to see the outfits and horses clad in tassels. Not to mention the delicious traditional food that is served in the street. The whole experience is to die for and if you plan to visit in the summer I would definitely look up when this celebration takes place- dates may vary year to year. Other than the parade, there was so much to take in; breathtaking views, beautiful wineries, the bull ring and of course the famous Puente Nuevo bridge. If you take nothing else from this article, please hear me on this tip; stay at the Molino Del Arco Hotel one of the most beautiful unique places I’ve stayed at. And visit the Joaquin Fernandez Bodega Winery, the husband and wife that own the winery were the most lovely people. With your tour they served a delicious lunch with all local, made from scratch, food. I will leave this Ronda segment with that, just go, thank me later. I would spend 2 nights in Ronda.

The next stop was Granada, the drive from Ronda was gorgeous with miles and miles of olive trees and just amazing mountains and waterfalls (if you can spot them). Also if you are worried about driving in Europe, in Spain they drive on the same side of the street as we do in the U.S. And in my opinion, the Spanish are more courteous drivers than we are. We only spent one night in Granada and had only planned to go to the Alhambra. I definitely would’ve booked more time there (maybe 2 nights) in retrospect. The city has a certain charm about it that made it unique. I think it was a combination of the Middle Eastern culture and the genuine friendliness of the people working and living in the city. If you are budgeting travelers this is the place for you. With every drink you order at a restaurant, they give you a free plate of food and in most places its a very generous portion. No matter where you go you MUST try the oxtail stew (I will attach our fave place), I know it sounds gross but its the regions specialty and I think its absolutely delicious! Now back to the Alhambra, this was my favorite historic site after those in Barcelona. You will learn more about American history and Spanish history than you ever could in any class. The mystery and detail in protecting the fortress is so intriguing. I can’t forget to mention how cute the resident cats (that now “rule the castle”) are. Definitely take your time moseying around the streets, walk into lantern shops and tea rooms and get lost in the culture, diversity and hipster vibes. I would spend 2 nights in Granada.

Our last stop before heading back to Barcelona and then back home was Seville. This city has so much to offer, you could spend days wandering and finding something new. Some people say it is their favorite place of all in Spain. In my opinion it was more crowded and dirtier than anywhere else we visited. But nonetheless, it was still a great destination with many aspects we enjoyed. Here we visited the Alcazar, if you are a Game of Thrones fan, you’ll love this place and even if not, it is quite amazing and has such rich history. The gardens and the America checkpoint room were my absolute favorite. In the church across the street you can visit where Christopher Columbus is buried. The church itself has such history and is beautiful as well. The Plaza de España should also be at the top of your list. You could spend the whole day just wandering around the park and the building watching street flamenco shows. Speaking of flamenco, in Seville you have to see a real show we went to the Flamenco Museum to see a show at night where the venue is intimate and the performance is spectacular. I believe this is also a nice place to pay a quick visit to during the day. In another realm, if you want to see a real live bullfight or just visit the bullring, Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla is your place. Check in advance to schedule bullfight tickets. To get a more modern take of the town visit the Metropol Parasol. This park/attraction welcomes all types, skaters, parents, business people and tourists. This unique structure was erected from a historic site and is now a place where locals and tourists can enjoy magnificent vantage points with great views of the city. Seville is a popular place for street art and performers, while this can be entertaining please be weary of your surroundings and keep your belongings safe. I would spend 2 nights in Seville.
