First things first, I am so eager to start sharing my travels tips and inspiration with you. I have been dreaming about creating this online destination for years. My laptop is full of lists and itineraries for countless cities – ones that I have traveled to; ones that I am dreaming about.

GUIDE: LOS CABOS, MEXICO
This is the ultimate Los Cabos travel guide! If you ask me, I will tell you that Mexico is always a good idea, and, more specifically, Cabo is always a good idea! I love any excuse to practice my Spanish, drink margaritas, and snack on chips and guacamole at all hours of the day. There are two popular areas that make up Los Cabos: Cabo San Lucas is the most popular with luxury resorts, nightlife, and tourism entertainment; San José del Cabo is more laidback with art galleries, boutique shops, and authentic culture. Both are amazing for different reasons, but I have to say that my favorite to return back…
