With summer time right around the corner, there is so much to do and see! As many of you may know, I love to travel. If I’m not flying to an exotic island or freezing my tail off in Iceland, I’m always down for a road trip! In partnership with Kia Motors, I had the chance to experience an exclusive at-home test drive in the all-new 2017 Kia Cadenza and let me tell you, I was immediately impressed! Our driver Joseph arrivedRead More→
I was super excited to take a tour. Yes, our rental car gave us the freedom to come and go but I was looking forward to the full experience of each location and the history. Sterna travel offers a variety of tours around Iceland. We decided to tour “The Beautiful South Coast.” Our trip started with an 8:30am pick up at our hotel and about an hour ride to our first location. The first stop was massive Skógafoss said byRead More→
During our visit, we arrived at Laugarvatn Fontana Geothermal Baths around 2:00 pm. Just in time to catch the tour of their traditional Icelandic geothermal bakery, which goes on every day at 11.30 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. We experienced it first hand and I was blown away! Our tour guide explained to us the history of the bakery and what the process entailed. Honestly, I don’t remember all of details because I was so hungry and I wanted to justRead More→
I’ve been lucky enough to have the opportunity to drive all over the world but I honestly had no idea what to expect in Iceland. I just imagined being surrounded by glaciers lol, just kidding. From what I researched, I knew Iceland was cold and had some breathtaking landscapes but had no idea how my friend Carla and I were going to get around. Thankfully, we partnered up with Lagoon Car Rental to make getting around the island easier. IRead More→
If you have followed me on Instagram, I’m sure you noticed that I LOVE to travel. I really enjoy just getting on a plane and waking up somewhere sunny and warm but I decided to do something different this year and check Iceland off my bucket list. I had the wonderful opportunity to stay at the Hotel Reykjavik Natura located in central Reykjavik. After driving for about an hour from the airport, I was excited to see what the hotelRead More→
Ok so, how many of you have been born and raised or lived in a state/country for a long time and have yet to visit any of the known tourist attractions? I know, I’m guilty too. I mean I am originally from New York City (The Bronx to be specific) and I haven’t been to the Statue of Liberty yet! *insert surprised emoji face* So I started this ritual of taking myself on dates to the Smithsonian museums here inRead More→
As an avid traveller, I always look for my lodging to be comfortable as my home. But there are some trips that I just and want to feel special and experience ALL of the amenities a hotel has to offer. As the #StayDC Marriott brand influencer, I had the wonderful opportunity to explore and stay at the beautiful Marriott Marquis located in downtown DC and I got the chance to experience the perfect mix of being home but feeling likeRead More→
I love jewelry so if I see anything gold it catches my eye. While waiting for our coach from Abu Dhabi to Dubai, I wandered off and bumped into The Gold ATM. Oh yeah, you read it right. I was immediately intimidated by how much the prices were so I didn’t even look and just took a picture. Then I turned to walk back to my friends and saw a gold car in the same lobby. I immediately thought to myself “IRead More→
I was so lucky to have scored the best travel deal thanks to Travel Noire . Ok, to bring you up to speed, there was a fare glitch with Etihad Airways on Christmas Day 2014 and I just so happened to be on twitter and saw the deal. I totally thought this was a joke but when I finalized my purchase online, my non-stop round trip ticket from JFK to Abu Dhabi was $221. including taxes, fees, and travel insurance.Read More→
I have anticipated visiting Toro Toro in DC for quite some time but had the pleasure of doing so in Dubai! Funny, huh. Well, thank God for my 20/20 vision because I actually saw the sign from the other side of the Dubai Marina and just knew that I had to make reservations for my friends and I to eat there. Toro Toro (which means bull in Spanish) is a Pan Latin restaurant that offers a delectable variety of dishes withRead More→
