Old Town San Diego Travel Guide

Since Old Town is the "historic heart" of San Diego, its Mexican roots and architecture makes it a unique and cool part of town. It's definitely worth a visit if you're traveling to San Diego, especially if you're in town for Cinco de Mayo coming up!

Last week, my friend Jessica of The Jessica Journey and I scouted out the best of Old Town San Diego in preparation for Cinco de Mayo! We were lucky our friend Marissa of Modern Day Mona Photography was there to capture it all, as well!

There are plenty of fun things to do in Old Town, whether you're going with friends, on a date, or even with family. Here's what we got up to:

Washington, DC Vlog

So, this travel vlog has nothing to do with politics (which I hope you'll find refreshing)! 

Instead, I'm showing my work + travel experience in one of my favorite cities in the world!

Expect seeing the additional barriers/security on the National Mall pre-inauguration, our mini food tour in Dupont, a quick stop in Georgetown, a few scenes from the actual Inauguration ceremony, and our end-of-conference party at the Udvar-Hazy Air and Space museum.

A Travel Guide To Washington, DC

Washington, DC is more than politics and parties - it is a unique city with plenty to offer for any traveler (and it happens to be one of my favorite cities in the entire world!).

Marvel at the monuments and Smithsonian museums along the National Mall, hit up bars & restaurants for happy hour drinks with locals after work, and don't forget to do brunch on the weekends.

With plenty to do in DC, it's tough to get bored.

Here's your travel guide to Washington, DC!

Dupont Circle Food Tour in Washington, DC!

Dupont Circle Food Tour in Washington, DC!

DC is one of the best US cities for finding top-notch cuisine from around the world, which makes total sense since it is such an international city.

So it's only natural that when I was in DC for a work + travel trip last week, my friend and I snuck out of the hotel for dinner during training to hit up Dupont Circle for some good food!

At first we were going to grab a quick kabob and walk around after seeing great Yelp reviews for a kabob shop on P Street.

Well, along the way we walked past a pizza restaurant and empanada shop and found ourselves at a crossroads: multiple good choices all in the same area, that all looked (and smelled!) delicious.

So where did we end up going? 

To all three places! Haha.

We decided to get smaller bites to share at each location so we'd have room for all three.

This turned our quick dinner stop in Dupont into a makeshift mini food tour!

I Quit My Job And Moved To California [VLOG]

This was a huge move for me. It wasn't just quitting my corporate job and moving to California. It was the courage to say YES to a goal I had been working toward for years.

Saying YES to something new.

YES to the unknown.

YES to ditching the standard path in favor of going with my gut feeling.

I wanted to share a few takeaways I've come up with now that the dust has settled from the transition.

If you have a big change coming up, here are some things you may consider:
