In Bogota, I was surprised to street art literally everywhere. I had no idea that there was such a huge artist movement in the city! Go through any neighborhood, and you are bound to see art on the walls, doors, and more.
Whether you are interested in exploring the desert, the local art scene, or a food lover, or really just want to pamper yourself, all of it can be done in the Phoenix area. Here is a list of what I enjoyed when I visited for a few days.
Although it's been over 3 years since we went on an epic trip to Kenya, we still talk about it on a regular basis and are ready to go back there in a heartbeat! That trip was filled with many unforgettable experiences, with a highlight being our 3 day safari in Maasai Mara National Park. It's hard to explain what an amazing experience it truly is so I'll just share some photos with you instead.
It seems as if there is a new restaurant opening in Shaw every other day! I’m definitely not complaining. The newest addition to the scene is Takoda – a rooftop beer garden a modern American menu.
What’s in a name? TAKODA is a Native American name that means “Friend to Everyone” – and that’s what they are aiming to be and based on my first experience there, I am definitely happy to be their friend!
From Uros, we spent about 3 hours on the water going to Amantani Island. On this ride is when you get an appreciation for the size of the lake and the gorgeous water! It was a beautiful morning and (thankfully) the water was not choppy at all – perfect for getting some sun and then a nap before reaching Amantani island for our overnight stay.
My friends and I have this New Year tradition where we jet off to someplace warm after Christmas, bring in the New Year together, and then get back to routine. Come September/October, talk starts again as to where we are headed that year. Over the last few years we have been to Miami, Key West, Mexico, Honduras, and this year we landed on Bermuda.
The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu really is an amazing trek and experience, but it does require a bit of planning. Here’s what you need to know if you are considering doing this once in a lifetime experience. Read on for planning tips.
Day 4 of the trail goes by fast, everyone just wants to get it done. The final day of the trail starts at 3.30 am. We woke up, had the usual coca tea, packed our things and walked to the control checkpoint where we joined all our fellow hikers at about 4.15am, waiting for the checkpoint to open at 5.30 am.
At the end of the second day of the Inca Trail, I felt a massive relief that the hard part was over and that it would be non-stop fun all the time from there on out. As it turned out, Day 3 was THE HARDEST part of the hike for me. It was mostly nerve wracking due to the steep Inca stone steps that we had to descend for hours on end.
After a fun and successful first day hiking the Inca trail, we awoke on Day 2 knowing that the day would be intense – our main goal was to hike up to the menacing sounding Dead Woman’s pass, the highest elevation we would reach in the 4 day trail.
