Asia - Bali - Rent a motorbike and hop around Ubud: Honestly just go on Google Maps and search waterfall and see which ones work best depending on where you’re staying. I did so much research and ended up just going to the ones that made the most sense en route. They are all just stunning, Leke Leke being the one that stood out the most. Biking around Ubud and seeing all the temples and rice terraces and the locals is a really cool experience, even if you have to deal with the endless Bali traffic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/b83bf0be-4377-4345-9d96-db259e70bdf0/IMG_3331.jpg Destinations - Asia - Bali - Spend an afternoon at Alas Harum: This place is sort of a one stop shop for everything Instagrammable in Bali. Its got the rice terraces, infinity edge pool, swing (sneaky very fun actually), restaurant, local coffee tastings, etc. etc. So if you don’t have very much time, this is the perfect place to see it all. And if you do want to eat here (food was solid), I’d recommend getting a cabana/daybed, as its like a $30 minimum spend which you’ll hit anyway after a couple drinks and burgers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/bb63bf8e-6a9e-4452-91a5-e1db0c251992/IMG_3555.jpg Destinations - Asia - Bali - Hit a beach club Bali is full of tons of great beach clubs, with Potato Head and Finns probably being the most famous over in the Seminyak area. But, given our shorter time on Bali, I was more keen for something unique, so Uluwatu it was, where we spent an afternoon at The Edge Dayclub, which is home to one of the most insane pools in the world - cantilevered over the edge of cliffs with a glass bottom! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/2751908c-1aaa-4223-b20a-d2e70079e5b2/IMG_3583.jpg Destinations - Asia - Bali - Dine in a cave The Edge was also in the same hotel as The Cave Restaurant, which is one of the sickest dining experience I’ve ever had. Its a full, Michelin level dining experience inside a full on natural cave. They’ve decked the place out with a kitchen down there as well, and even went ahead and put on light shows projected on to the cave walls in between the 10 or so courses, all depicting the evolution of the natural environment. So if you want an absurdly cool dining experience, make a reservation well in advance for The Cave. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations-asia/2024/3/20/singapore-in-12-hours monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/5cba0a62-1a6f-47a5-ba8c-9dd87cedaf15/IMG_2866.jpg Destinations - Asia - Singapore in 12 Hours - Gardens by the Bay Then, a visit into the Gardens by the Bay is an absolute must. To see the Flower Dome and other exhibits, you may need a reservation (depending on time of year), so make sure to consider that. Its an absolutely spectacular space, complete with the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, beautiful flora, and ideal instagram opportunities. This is probably the most must do thing in Singapore, in my humble opinion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/c619c599-a1bf-4451-a556-498444cd594f/IMG_2781.jpg Destinations - Asia - Singapore in 12 Hours - Chinatown Start by walking around Chinatown. There are a few beautiful temples and streets, and really no guidance is needed when you’re here. Just keep roaming and see what you stumble upon! We happened to stumble into quite an expansive weekend market on our trip, which was a fun surprise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1db55781-b6db-4ff6-bf84-37d4a7558316/IMG_2816.jpg Destinations - Asia - Singapore in 12 Hours - Marina Bay Sands Once you make your way around the Gardens, head into the Marina Bay Sands Mall, which has everything you could possibly imagine. Shop away before heading up to the Skydeck at the Marina Bay Sands, so make a reservation at either Ce La Vie or Lavo (I slightly lean Lavo for food and ambiance, but Ce La Vie for more fun vibes).

It was the converted home of one of the most successful doctors in 18th century France, and had a great balance between regal and boutique, modern and old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/2c45dfc1-05d5-4722-8bfa-085ffb2cbb39/IMG_1031.jpg Destinations - Europe - Dordogne, France https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/a2cfc948-e6bb-4ad7-9034-6c15cc42b19c/IMG_0530.jpg Destinations - Europe - Dordogne, France - What to do: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/598a0c86-eccc-4c38-8597-2cdce81fcae1/IMG_1113.jpg Destinations - Europe - Dordogne, France https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-blog-1/2024/3/20/i-went-back-to-barcelona monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-blog-1/2024/3/20/paris-yet-again monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/bb73d354-5acf-48e2-ba81-1f111984fbcc/IMG_4323.jpg Destinations - Europe - Paris, Yet Again - Where to have amazing French food by the Seine: Le Voltaire Everything about this restaurant screamed France, but in a good way.

This restaurant will send your tastebuds on a journey, and you won’t quite know exactly what or where the journey will take you (by design). Plus, it won’t break the bank, a big plus in this area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/e41307f2-13d2-4fd6-bb4d-b00f43a3e75b/IMG_9693.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - La Reserve Beaulieu With a beautiful seaside pool and dramatic vistas of crashing waves, plus just absolutely stunning interior design make this a great spot to enjoy a drink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/b545d3b1-3be4-4083-acf4-6f46bd5b09dd/IMG_0148.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - Baoli Cannes Dinner at Baoli in Cannes is a must. This place goes off with great music, fire shows, and fantastic food. It is one of the most seen and bee seen places on the Riviera, so do with that what you will. I absolutely loved it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/ab2368d5-e245-49bd-83ea-3dc9e4eb1459/IMG_9653.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - Le Plongeoir Lunch at Le Plongeoir is another must, for all the right reasons. Great seafood, ocean views, instagrammability and vibes all are a 10/10 here. Just make sure to get a reservation well in advance! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/4708a545-5d56-41b2-beec-f206b4c4380a/IMG_5513.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - Boat to Monaco Rent a boat to take you from Nice to Monaco, because why not. It also like was not THAT much more expensive than an Uber given the Monaco Grand Prix was coming up, and we got to stop at some bays and go for a swim and enjoy the wonderful views! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/246268f2-c34f-4a08-a79b-e1cdaf46ab02/IMG_9796.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - Hang out in Villefranche Not just because that is where my mom lives (who is dope, by the way), but also because it is the most beautiful little town on the coast. I say that because of its scale, colors, and the fact that it has the most beautiful water in the area, in my humble opinion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/e5f009e1-f111-493f-b2f7-39d724f01311/IMG_0302.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - Watch the Grand Prix (Practices) When it comes to watching the Grand Prix, I myself am not a huge fan, so I just went to see the practices for the F2 and F3 guys, but even that in itself was absolutely incredible. I simply was not prepared for how loud it would be and how unique the experience of watching these cars whip it at ungodly speeds around the most beautiful old French buildings would be! So pay for a grandstand ticket (they literally block any and all other potential free vantage points) and enjoy the show. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/e815490a-db2d-4059-8a67-3b6bc3b8dd16/IMG_0366.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - Buddha Bar Dinner at Buddha Bar, followed by some dancing, is a must. Get seated at around 10:30, start eating by 11:15, finish by 12, have some dessert, finish your bottle of wine, and start dancing around 1 through until the sun comes up! All is possible at Buddha Bar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/d8f3c9ec-4733-42cc-bd92-92874d2c1b3d/IMG_5693.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - Saint Paul de Vence Spend an afternoon checking out the art galleries in Saint Paul de Vence. This ancient city perched on the top of hill with 360 degree views is one of the most scenic in the area, and the art galleries that fill the cobblestone streets are just sublime. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/d0e1d6cb-d423-49b5-876e-5f761a6c70a7/IMG_0260.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - Nikki Beach Monte Carlo Nikki Beach Monte Carlo is just a fantastic vibe, on the rooftop of the Fairmont, complete with a pool, DJ, and plenty of cabanas. The food was great, as was the music, and I’d definitely recommend hanging here for a bit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/0cd0942e-8a26-4461-bcde-57a41f52a72e/IMG_9587.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - SEEN Rooftop Drinks at the rooftop bar of the Anantara Nice was how we started off this trip. Reminder, my mom lives in Nice, so visiting is like going to my second home at this point. And this is a brand new rooftop in a swanky new hotel that sets the standard in Nice (which you should definitely NOT avoid). The views and drinks and service were all wonderful here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/d7f71005-a6e3-4485-a9fb-bcffc462a87d/IMG_0277.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - Nobu Monaco We also went to the Nobu in the Fairmont which was good, but definitely not at the level of other Nobu’s I have been to in terms of design, service and quality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/642cfa9f-6cc2-479e-942a-f47d37d3300a/IMG_0052.jpg Destinations - Europe - South of France: Summer - Parc de la Colline du Chateau Head up to the Parc de la Colline du Chateau with the elevator up the rock. You’ll be treated with great views of the city, not to mention complete with a beautiful (man made) waterfall behind you. Plus, there is a nice castle, graveyard and gardens up here to meander through as well. Worth a couple hour visit. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-blog-1/2022/6/7/51bmwoib270i1llo5w82eeyc5iqbks monthly 0.5 2022-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/b26bdde9-007a-4a6b-a362-f13cb9b4c163/96CD6A07-5B18-4A5B-9111-FC419A71BDFE.jpeg Destinations -

We got the grounds tickets and spent around 10 hours here total. You gotta experience the American Express Experience Center, get a famous Honey Deuce, and just bounce around as much as you can to see all the great matches. Each court has its own unique vibe and viewing experience, so even if players who aren’t that interesting are playing, still try and make your way to as many courts and matches as you can. The energy on the grounds here is really just fantastic, and its easily reachable by the subway or LIRR from Manhattan! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/f3b2a553-480e-4587-88bb-076b0fa7619e/IMG_5560.jpg Destinations - North America - New York for Labor Day Weekend - Electric Zoo We also went to Electric Zoo for a day, which ended up becoming a nightmarish event. We went on Sunday, and paid about $50 extra for VIP. WE ended up having a great experience, saw a lot of great DJs, dealt with a few but manageable enough crowds for a big event, and had no problems getting to/from the event. But, with that said, Friday got cancelled in entirety (stages were not ready), and the crowds lead to some insane moments that we did not notice on Sunday. Regardless, it was a really fun event in my opinion! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/881d9719-7d28-4b47-828d-9767ff478d3c/IMG_5523.jpg Destinations - North America - New York for Labor Day Weekend - Au Cheval Au Cheval has become a staple in the vast New York food scene, and really for one reason.

The views are incredible, the drinks are overpriced and fun, and the layout/decor is perfect for larger parties looking for a perfect insta. Do I recommend going out of your way to visit? No. BUT, if you happen to be in this part of midtown, why not check it out?! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/6df0828d-13e6-4215-b8d0-a8a0187f731a/IMG_5449.jpg Destinations - North America - New York for Labor Day Weekend - Eyval Eyval is the BEST Persian restaurant in America, and I stand by that. It’s elevated Persian food (aka the best cuisine in the world), which is something I have not seen anywhere else in the world (outside of Iran). The space is super cute, and the drinks are also insane. The saffron martini is one of the strongest and most intense drinks I have ever tasted! And be sure to order the koobideh, lamb and the saffron rose ice cream sandwich. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations/2024/3/21/miami-back-to-new-york monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/753de4ad-1900-46ad-bb11-2b896ae2d6e2/IMG_4510.jpg Destinations - North America - Miami Back to New York - Day 1: Up Florida Booked it up to St. Augustine by lunchtime, which, fun fact, is the OLDEST city in America! And I freaking loved this place!! Like why do more people not know more about it. It has incredible history, architecture and just a chilled/fun vibe. Walked around old town and through the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument. Also, Flagler College is truly stunning. Then we hit up a Mexican restaurant, La Casita, in the beautiful (sarcasm) town of Green Cove Springs before making our way to the beautiful Black Creek Hideaway, a clamping spot by the river just south of Jacksonville. Highly, highly recommend this spot if you are ever, for whatever reason, in this area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/0465e028-0c47-4950-898b-708aa8039895/IMG_4638.jpg Destinations - North America - Miami Back to New York https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/a96977a3-4ec3-4bd8-9220-9e248f3199c2/IMG_4924.jpg Destinations - North America - Miami Back to New York - Day 3: Nature! Now we got up to Shenandoah National Park, complete with one of the most beautiful drives in America on the Blue Ridge Parkway. There are so many wonderful hikes here, you really can’t go wrong. I did Stony Man, Millers Head and Whiteoak Canyon Falls. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/9fbcc7cd-03ad-411b-a12d-14df0195ce96/IMG_5090.jpg Destinations - North America - Miami Back to New York - Day 4: Luray Okay now if you are ever in the DC area (which is reasonable), you HAVE to go to the Luray Caves. These are one of the largest navigable caves in the world, and the formations here are absolutely outstanding. I ended up here for like almost 3 hours, which resulted in a very late arrival to Ithaca, but hey, we made it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/70c48f2c-91dc-48df-a03c-597289234710/IMG_4734.jpg Destinations - North America - Miami Back to New York - Day 2: To Charlotte Made my way up to Charlotte, North Carolina, which was a pleasant surprise! I got a GREAT deal at the Dunhill Hotel, which had a wonderful historic charm with a modern twist. Its a very walkable city, so I made my way around and just enjoyed this small big town. Some Charlotte recs: coffee and pastries at Amelie Bakery, drinks at Buho, walk through The Green, grab drinks and bites at the Market at 7th Street, see the Bank of America Stadium (right in downtown, why not stop by). https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations/2024/3/21/the-ultimate-miami-rankings monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations/2024/3/20/driving-new-york-to-miami monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/ae76dd71-b49c-40dc-bb58-4d8747270c2f/IMG_9393.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving New York to Miami - Day 2: Richmond to Savannah Savannah is a city that has been on my bucket list for a long time, especially after going to Charleston last year. And it absolutely lived up to the hype. I arrived around 6 PM at the Andaz Savannah (highly recommend, and if they have the Andaz suite, splurge and treat yourself, it was an awesome room), and immediately headed out to explore the town. I strolled through all the streets and immersed myself in what is one of the most fantastic urban fabrics of any city of the world. Eventually, I got to Forsyth Park, which is sort of the heartbeat of the city. There was beautiful trees, expansive grass areas, fountains, statues, playgrounds, cafes and more. Honestly, it felt like a much smaller and much more beautiful version of Central Park. Then I made my way to the Riverfront to catch the tail end of the sunset. The riverfront park has a lot of great developments on it, stretching from the JW Marriott at the northern end all the way down. There are plenty of areas to sit, eat, drink and play, which is what everyone was doing. At this point, I was in love with Savannah. Then I went to the Seafood Shack and had a low country boil with all the seafoods and sausages and potatoes, followed by the best ice cream of my life at the famous Leopold’s and by then, I had asked Savannah to be my wife (she declined). Then I woke up the next morning, enjoyed the amenities at the hotel, took a bath in my suite, then headed to Sandfly for some awesome barbecue before taking the most aesthetic pictures at the entrance to the Wormsloe Estate (no need to pay to enter, you come here for the picture let’s be honest. The history is kind of exactly what you think it is). And that was that! If you had to ask me which was better between Charleston or Savannah, I would say Charleston for friends, Savannah for couples, Charleston for families, Savannah for business, and Charleston for solo travel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/7561993f-7b8f-4712-9357-6e491ed2a319/IMG_0569.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving New York to Miami https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/8290c192-bea0-430b-923b-e67e50889ca4/IMG_9278.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving New York to Miami - Day 1: New York to Richmond After an absurd night out at the Brooklyn Mirage, I woke up around 9 and left by 10 the next morning. I drove down through New Jersey, past Philadelphia (which like is way closer to NYC than I thought?) and DC, and eventually ended up in the capital of Virginia, Richmond. I spent the night at The Commonwealth, which had a great location and was a nicely retrofitted old building, reflecting the history of this city. The room was nicely decorated and surprisingly large, with a more then comfortable bed for the night. The next morning, I strolled around the downtown area, seeing the Capitol of course (which was stunning from the outside even during construction). Then I went to the Capitol Waffle Shop where I had the most absurd waffle al pastor situation, but I absolutely loved it and you should definitely go if you find yourself in Richmond for breakfast. There is this cool like graffiti art area down by the river just past the Omni Hotel that is worth checking out, very interesting parks with statues and monuments dedicated to the civil rights movement and abolishment of slavery, a beautiful bridge to an island in the middle of the river, a great waterfall in the city center, and just all in all, a nice little city! Would I ever visit again? No. Would I be made if I was forced to for whatever reason?

I had to really convince the group to go, but its an absolute beauty of a tree. Its massive and honestly just takes your breath away. Its history is quite dark though, so do keep that in mind when marveling at it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/8256166b-90c4-4777-af2e-7c675e19cb58/IMG_0560.jpg Destinations - North America - Charleston - Where to spend the day at the beach: Folly Beach This is s super cute little beach town reachable by a 20 minute drive from Charleston over the marshlands. The beach isn’t the most beautiful, but there is water and there is sand, and sometimes, that is all you need. Pier 101 Restaurant and Bar is also a great spot for a burger with a view! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/796acac3-73ad-4736-bc5c-b53658e03632/IMG_0689.jpg Destinations - North America - Charleston - Where to learn about Charleston’s not-so-great past: McLeod Plantation The property and grounds may be beautiful, but its history - not so much. It’s one of those things you kind of have to do, as slavery was a pertinent part of this city’s past, and it is important to recognize it. The tour runs a bit long, but it is certainly emotionally charged and makes you intimately connect with the stories of those who were here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/33255595-6450-430d-b485-f61804214440/IMG_0345.jpg Destinations - North America - Charleston - Where to go for brunch: 82 Queen This place slaps you with southern charm, from its hilarious service to menu to beyond-cute-design. We thoroughly loved this spot, and it was an ideal first place to check out in the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/07cdd405-aac3-43f1-add2-61079e4a4164/IMG_0357.jpg Destinations - North America - Charleston - Where to see some dolphins and a legendary lighthouse: Flipper Finders Boat and Sea Kayak Tours A great way to spend an afternoon, this tour allowed us to see the incredible beauty of the waters around Charleston. Our guide was very knowledgable and lots of fun! Highly recommend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/ee846254-2298-4bbe-b8fd-4dd10c538866/IMG_0740.jpg Destinations - North America - Charleston - Where to get a fire Insta: Rainbow Row & Pineapple Fountain These are two icons of Charleston and are incredibly photogenic, so hit it up. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations/2024/3/20/driving-across-america monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/ef3d0301-e028-421a-adf0-9188d5706887/2FD1AB14-605B-4448-B8B6-7BD90B93FCB4.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving Across America - Day 1: Drive from LA to St. George We stopped in Vegas, of course. Did some supercharging, won a few hundred in roulette, had a burger at Gordon Ramsey Pub, and continued on our way. We checked into the Hilton Garden Inn, ate dinner at the Cliff Restaurant, went to Dutch Bros (their milkshakes slap), got rear ended by a drunk driver on the way back (everything would be fine thankfully), got some sleep, and woke up for Day 2: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/6b4d9bd1-41c8-4ea0-b635-e95b5d62e553/A7D39919-29F1-4E00-A25B-491B1CEE33E9.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving Across America - Day 7: To Buffalo We spent the whole morning exploring Cleveland, which was actually shockingly beautiful. There are tons of museums, beautiful lakefront parks, solid food, and just an overall well sized and scaled city. I would easily say that Cleveland was one of the more pleasant surprises I have had traveling in America. After a great day of exploring, we went to Buffalo, and of course, had dinner at Anchor Bar, home of the buffalo wing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/e3650536-535d-46a4-8f5a-6586fed0eaba/4593EB6D-ADD1-4161-B898-952F3E4F94E3.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving Across America - Day 2: To Moab We stopped and did the Overlook Hike for sunrise (after getting pulled over for speeding at 80 in a 65 at 5 am…whatever). After another quick hike in beautiful Zion (which I highly recommend), we booked it for Moab. We stayed at the Under Canvas Moab, which I was very excited about. It’s a glamping spot (the brand is dope - highly recommend) just beside the famous Arches National Park. There’s no restaurant, so we ate dinner outside the hotel, but had some free s’mores before we went to bed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/e3e19e7e-0afa-44c3-a097-44d3d02c4aa6/AEBBF904-393B-4B46-BB27-0DA598C95A2E.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving Across America - Day 6: To Cleveland We woke up, somehow, and did an architecture boat tour of the city (something everyone should do in Chicago). We then had a wonderful lunch at Gibson’s on the River (double check on this name), and headed to Cleveland. We checked in to the Hyatt Regency (lobby here has to be one of the best in the world) and decided to call it a night early. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/f2b2189d-f7c9-42a9-8cdb-721f56583677/DD6F63B9-6E3B-459B-8C24-E480FDCE8EE3.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving Across America - Day 4: To Omaha Well kind of. We had some breakfast burritos and smoothies, then started to go to Omaha. Just before getting out of Denver, we hit a pothole (everywhere in CO), and both left tires popped. So that lead to a 2 hour delay. Then, I found out a friend coincidentally was staying en route to Omaha, in the lake town of Ogallala. So we stopped there while supercharging and hung out with her family, had some burgers and margaritas, and long story short, ended up getting into Omaha at like 2 in the morning, which was brutal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/73328d94-9aa5-48d2-b7ee-b94ea32b8215/AEE27247-1E0C-40DE-B64F-9837C6CFDD10.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving Across America - Day 8: To Ithaca We tried to see some of Buffalo, but it honestly sucks. Avoid it. So then we went to Niagara Falls and had a nice day exploring one of the most spectacular natural wonders in North America. Highly recommend visiting, but the Canadian side is probably the better option, if you were choosing between sides. After seeing the falls, I dropped my buddy off at the airport in Buffalo, and headed to Ithaca, my new home for the next year and a half. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/698210f2-5c34-43c1-9f09-1d55742b942d/IMG_8488.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving Across America - AND SCENE. And there you have it. Driving all the way across this beautiful country. The Tesla, through all the troubles, held up wonderfully, and most charge stops were honestly necessary to grab some lunch or go pee or just stretch the legs! Would I do it again? Nope. But I am incredibly happy to have experienced it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/362c6794-073e-4567-8be6-17b58e4baee5/72248921-5A71-4853-8A51-F36EB7E63371.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving Across America - Day 5: To Chicago We woke up early and decided to skip Omaha and booked it straight to Chicago. We got there in the afternoon, checked into the Sheraton 9great value hotel in my opinion here), and went to a Michelin starred dinner at Sepia (highly recommend). We met up with a friend and partied a bit (Escobar is a dope spot), before drinking a bit too much and calling it a night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/9290d28b-03b3-40ca-84c1-8b4ecb638373/IMG_7786.jpg Destinations - North America - Driving Across America - Day 3: To Denver We woke up early in the morning and got a few hours to explore Arches National Park, which was cool, but not necessarily anything super super special. After seeing Arches and grilling some burgers for lunch at the hotel, we headed to Denver. Once we arrived in the Mile High City, we, well, got high, and headed out to explore the town with an old college friend (who we also stayed with). Denver is honestly a very cool city, I was pleasantly surprised. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations/2021/6/3/z94rdka5bxotm4nowv4hypyg5zsn7g monthly 0.5 2021-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622904580679-UDEC3OYA2KJJFR63K6P1/DSC06056.jpeg Destinations - North America - Catalina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622904473701-VL4MZTWFGM4Z8VR0D4MY/DSC05992.jpeg Destinations - North America - Catalina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622904362927-OONZ5DINW0UTHV5LZD5J/DSC05919.jpeg Destinations - North America - Catalina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622904314369-GLJGQEKU0C39DFEJ7O6A/DSC06144.jpeg Destinations - North America - Catalina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622904517320-42N80LS0V3SRF78SWLG0/IMG_3207.jpeg Destinations - North America - Catalina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622904414421-Q159JI112MUIDVPVMUKV/IMG_3213.jpeg Destinations - North America - Catalina https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations/2021/6/3/6ne98tme58t1cl88b3lvg8fwb8lk41 monthly 0.5 2021-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622885405165-HAZTTP5WIDCUQZKBIVF4/DSC05874.jpeg Destinations - North America - Arizona road trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622885491033-RFRBNIU70FR8VF91WSS0/IMG_1918.jpeg Destinations - North America - Arizona road trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622885454148-540SGLF77O57P1N43M17/IMG_1933.jpeg Destinations - North America - Arizona road trip https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622885362462-ZV7EP75VM5SWTXTORQH7/DSC05799.jpeg Destinations - North America - Arizona road trip https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations/2021/6/3/n8zlow9tkr5stqbo3ge08w7gy19acw monthly 0.5 2021-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622881377132-HNM4PMKLFVH1T0KYXYW4/IMG_9840.jpeg Destinations - North America - Sequoia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622881308452-KU1VNG9QMGCGO81NT95S/IMG_0242.jpeg Destinations - North America - Sequoia The beginning of the hike basically looks like this for the first hour, so be prepared for that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622881530434-O6HYNXH2CNCJPBL67N67/IMG_0034.jpeg Destinations - North America - Sequoia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622881482958-8C34JXZ5QL6XHUF1C0YB/IMG_9958.jpeg Destinations - North America - Sequoia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622883764540-C7UVG4CS9IHYFICGUDCC/IMG_0124.jpeg Destinations - North America - Sequoia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622881434111-OO1I9ZYJHBROLDOZ039G/IMG_0226.jpeg Destinations - North America - Sequoia https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations/2021/2/28/h5rg89etbffhr4jpu1xpwjuhr36q1o monthly 0.5 2021-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622810540635-FF3KPTDL92T8HEP3QRQL/IMG_3936.jpeg Destinations - North America - Vegas, but For Nature https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622810603651-8XZATZ0WTG83WHDY71V8/DSC05481.jpeg Destinations - North America - Vegas, but For Nature https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622810744437-669F1YVP4C2YUGP5W8MH/DSC05417.jpeg Destinations - North America - Vegas, but For Nature https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622810702018-DBBLQM9SKOPN6QF8IXP5/DSC05281.jpeg Destinations - North America - Vegas, but For Nature https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622810633273-U2F9ZNW91THGJKBK4QH3/DSC05310.jpeg Destinations - North America - Vegas, but For Nature https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations/2021/2/28/myhi8tzxf0i0uqjn4ldf0jejne8684 monthly 0.5 2021-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622803672661-09GGZ6XE602M4XTTPN1I/IMG_9945.jpeg Destinations - North America - Big Sur Doesn’t get much more beautiful and iconic as this right here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622803795493-6HK763677AXT9RSQB3I3/IMG_6634.jpeg Destinations - North America - Big Sur https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622802710990-XR7GXKAKM4JKPRVWC6PA/IMG_0059.jpeg Destinations - North America - Big Sur Big trees are big, and they’re everywhere around here!

We were in the yacht club, which location wise is probably the worst. There’s a section right on the beach, a section where all the action is with food and dining, and a section closer to the pools and waterpark. The point of this hotel is to not leave the hotel, so it doesn’t really matter what is around the property, mores just here you want to be within the property. There are golf carts and little boats that can take you all around the hotel as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/bb4fb86f-b6a3-46f5-94dc-a47ca5832d7c/IMG_4192.jpg Hotels - North America - The Boca Raton - Dining: A Major Food Groups takes over here so everything is on point. Pricey? Yes. But definitely solid. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/a4a0b4a1-3cd2-4e27-9efc-c4f4197fcc8c/IMG_4238.jpg Hotels - North America - The Boca Raton - Amenities: A+ Like literally everything you could possibly imagine. There’s a “smelling” room. There’s pickle ball courts (and like a LOT). There’s WATERSLIDES! Anything and everything you could imagine is there. Literally. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/hotels-1/2024/3/21/modernhaus-soho monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/e197a1ca-6191-4e70-aae1-de72dfd4797f/IMG_5370.jpg Hotels - North America - ModernHaus Soho - Amenities: B The gym is great with amazing views to the east and south. There is plenty of dining and drinking options. And there’s a rooftop pool, which in theory, sounded great, but was unusable thanks to everyone reserving the 10 total lounge chairs offered. The pool was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel, and to not have been able to use it once (and we checked every day) was fuc*king ridiculous. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/5ac0e55f-d358-4a33-acce-65796d2ee3bb/IMG_5441.jpg Hotels - North America - ModernHaus Soho https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/0fa5ddce-e811-408d-b328-9bf74a029749/IMG_5362.jpg Hotels - North America - ModernHaus Soho - Rooms: B+ As is standard for most New York hotels, its quite small, but well laid out. There are some confusing design aspects that we eventually figured out, but overall, the room does the job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/3b248b72-f938-412d-ac7a-0047abe55ffb/IMG_5364.jpg Hotels - North America - ModernHaus Soho - Dining: B+ We had breakfast here which tasted great but was very overpriced. As were the drinks at one of the bars on site. But with that said, there are a lot of options in this hotel, which comes with some of the most outdoor area of any hotel in the city. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/hotels-1/2024/3/20/twa-hotel monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/42aa6ea3-5613-4b1b-a944-fa961fbf2587/IMG_1211.jpg Hotels - North America - TWA Hotel - Rooms: A- If you’re going to stay here, just splurge and pay the extra $$$ on a runway view room. It is just an absolute joy to see all the different planes and airlines zig zagging left right up and down in all corners of the windows (which are the 2nd thickest in the world, so don’t worry, you’ll get some sleep). As is the case for almost any New York hotel, the room was on the smaller side, but it was well designed within the amount of allocated space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1dafea66-bfcb-4598-855f-1760316f97b6/IMG_2735.jpg Hotels - North America - TWA Hotel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/fdd14314-cdef-4cba-9bd3-6bdb3078bc46/IMG_1196.jpg Hotels - North America - TWA Hotel - Dining: A- The fact that there is really only one restaurant in this massive hotel is surprising, but, with that said, the food was great at the Paris Cafe. The little “ski chalet” pop up by the pool also served some typical ski foods along with burgers and whatnot, which was super cute. And of course, you can’t miss getting drinks inside the Connie aircraft - truly a special treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/a4f24c19-8dda-4bb7-9bd2-ff2bc5c77516/IMG_1282.jpg Hotels - North America - TWA Hotel - Amenities: A- There is just so so much. The gym is one of the larger you will ever see, there’s basically a whole ass museum, curling(?!), and the rooftop pool is the star of the show here. We visited in December, and I had no problems inside the 95 degree infinity pool, which overlooks the entire airport. Nothing is luxurious, per se, but rather more of an ode to the building’s past. That retro vibe works in most places, but in some I didn’t quite connect with it. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/hotels-1/2024/3/19/the-cape-cabo monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/9acc385f-316b-47fa-8b35-5ac5ef15e6a5/IMG_4597.jpg Hotels - North America - The Cape, Cabo - Amenities: A- There are two pools, one with a more natural feel and the other with a swim up bar and infinity edge overlooking the cape. The beach area has a few lounge chairs and cabanas, as well as some water sports (weather permitting) for rent. The gym is in a beautiful standalone building, although I did not get to use it during my stay. The concierge here hooked us up with a jets experience which was a fun time, and can organize plenty of tours during your stay. There is also a spa which looked beautiful, but we did not get to try that out either. While the amenities here isn’t quite on the level of the Waldorf Pedregal or the One and Only Palmilla, it definitely packs a bunch as the smaller size hotel it is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/35de34d5-43b4-4694-89fd-76b5fc6051e5/IMG_4720.jpg Hotels - North America - The Cape, Cabo https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/0bb84348-bb6c-4c9f-aaea-bbc3944ef857/IMG_4552.jpg Hotels - North America - The Cape, Cabo - Rooms: A- Another driving force for my desire to stay here is the beautifully designed rooms, and they did not disappoint. The views from all rooms are incredible, as you can see the world famous Arc off in the distance from your hammock/outdoor bed. The copper bathtub is beautiful, albeit became a bit of a bummer with the water getting all over the place in the room itself. There’s a too-small-for-two-people vanity, but a solid amount of storage, couple chairs and a desk. Overall, a beautiful room with even more beautiful views. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/7ac736c8-abfc-4054-a4f0-d46fa51bf417/IMG_4700.jpg Hotels - North America - The Cape, Cabo - Dining: A Their rooftop bar is one of, if not the most beautiful bar in all of Cabo, so even if you aren’t staying here, its worth checking out. Combine that with some fire drinks and great music, and you have one of the best spots in the area. Manta, the main, fancy shmancy restaurant here, serves up incredible high-end fusion of wild dishes and a combination of flavors. We also had some sushi by the beach, a fantastic coffee from the coffee bar by the lobby, and drinks at the swim up bar, all of which were amazing. Absolutely zero complaints about the F&B here. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/hotels-1/2024/3/19/the-pendry-manhattan-west monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/hotels-1/2024/3/19/the-collective-paper-factory monthly 0.5 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/0fd3563d-6de2-4189-909e-83a584b98713/IMG_3298.jpg Hotels - North America - The Collective Paper Factory - Amenities: B+ There is a LOT of co working spaces, meeting spaces, hangout areas, fun zones, etc. at this hotel. They have quite a large area to work with, so they definitely made the most out of it! Obviously, you won’t find any spas or state of the art gyms, but they definitely fill out all their spaces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/a0c1a1f5-4744-4dc6-a303-51275c73779a/IMG_3292.jpg Hotels - North America - The Collective Paper Factory - Room Look, its a cheap hotel. But the way they’ve renovated this old paper factory is actually pretty cool, and I appreciated all the little quirky design elements that are found in the rooms. The bed isn’t the comfiest, the views suck, and the bathroom is pretty barebones, but hey, it does the job for like $150 a night or whatever I spent. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/hotels-1/2021/2/28/e7f5ya019v98lr52sp85xyfs23aovf monthly 0.5 2021-06-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622802367029-N36DXM7VGZ5Q6HS1PL8P/IMG_6619.jpeg Hotels - North America - Post ranch inn In room jacuzzi with some slightly above average views https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622801721503-X882OAC2FGVLIWU9O0YQ/IMG_9817.jpeg Hotels - North America - Post ranch inn Can you tell I was very excited about this set up? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622801767745-0SSQB3VV2WMUIV4XUOSI/IMG_6570.jpeg Hotels - North America - Post ranch inn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622801803276-R8B2RIE2E3UZ7K3IRMZX/IMG_6900.jpeg Hotels - North America - Post ranch inn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622801911793-F1UUF6C7YZ62PW51HM64/IMG_6752.jpeg Hotels - North America - Post ranch inn One of the two stunning (albeit somewhat small and not hot enough) pools on the property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1622801686164-28HK033XWIE2VFGSK3KJ/IMG_6742.jpeg Hotels - North America - Post ranch inn https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/hotels-1/2020/3/17/viceroy-los-cabos-1 monthly 0.5 2020-12-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1608795786421-8S62NZIAPS64OWQALYML/AE60D4BCECB9C3F8E849A78CDD99E783.jpeg Hotels - North America - Viceroy Los Cabos Balconies really don’t get much better than this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1608796071637-D9FIVC91OCJ7TH6YIURK/DSC04664.jpeg Hotels - North America - Viceroy Los Cabos The adults only pool (which was FREEZING cold by the way, so this was as close as I got to going in) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1608796021537-Z7GARPEKPX3FC1NQG02W/DSC04774.jpeg Hotels - North America - Viceroy Los Cabos This is the beachfront bar https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1608795970231-1BTP9U71S0A40QT70I0O/DSC04651.jpeg Hotels - North America - Viceroy Los Cabos Take your pick of which pool you want to lounge by every day!

Perched above Duval street with cute design and lovely service (maybe too lovely given our hangover), they had a great eggs Benedict and did the job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/ee14bf34-2004-4c7e-a25d-7cc66678961d/IMG_3430.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Weekend in the Keys - Southernmost Point It’s kind of a check it off the list type place. Is it worth waiting in line? No. Just go there, take a pic from off to the side, walk to the end point, and call it a day. Plus, I think technically, its not actually the furthest south point. Semantics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/a632d5b8-3b19-4898-bf00-a4c6e7f7fe03/IMG_3420.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Weekend in the Keys - Fort Zachary Taylor Park This spot is considered one of the better beaches within the city, plus it has a fort on the site, so its kind of a kill two birds with one stone situation. The beach isn’t the most beautiful, but you CAN snorkel, get some beach chairs, and enjoy the sun for a few hours out here. There is a snack stand and drinks you can buy as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/3ea9d277-3c24-49e4-9d55-f7235e383c53/IMG_3449.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Weekend in the Keys - Sunset Pier A dinner at Sunset Pier is a must. This place has fantastic food, drinks served in coconuts, and amazing views for sunset. Plus, there was live music and great service. Nothing to complain about. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/a55ccee0-7081-4fb5-89ec-38d2ef8c6b39/IMG_3479.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Weekend in the Keys - Duval Street This is THE spot to go, and frankly, everywhere was just as fun as the last. Its more of a country, Flo Rida, type range of music, nothing remotely avant grade, but just embrace the humor of it all, have some drinks, and have a good time! We hopped from Tiki House to Captain Tony’s Saloon to Ricks to Tikka Bar to…you get the point. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/bfc66081-da4c-49c9-b665-ccdd168ea864/IMG_3547.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Weekend in the Keys - Stops En Route: Get some key lime pie from Keys Chocolates and Ice Cream. This is kind of a necessity, key lime pie from the keys. But there is also so much other goodies here you shouldn’t miss out on (like the taco truck in the parking lot, that shit slapped). Bahia Honda State Park for a nice beach and great views of the bridges. Sunset Grille and Raw Bar - we didn’t need up stopping here but it was on my list. The views and food look great here. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations-1/2024/3/20/medellin monthly 0.5 2024-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/699f19dc-a758-47b5-9e81-3d7e44989164/IMG_7795.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Medellin - Roam Around (Use the Metro!) Roam around the city and don’t be afraid to use the metro, as I found it to be a wonderful and safe way to get around. I know there are stories of pick pockets and whatnot, but just be aware and on top of your things and you’ll be fine. Your itinerary for a day of exploring should be as follows: Start up at Parque Explora, go to the museums (especially if you have kids), and walk around the botanical gardens. I usually find botanical gardens to be pointless, but this was beautiful, with some stunning architecture inside as well. Had down to Plaza Botero, where you will find beautiful buildings and the Botero Museum, a must in Medellin. There’s usually a market here as well to buy some stuff, most of which we found to be knock off shoes! But also definitely have some of the fresh lemonade, absolute fire. Just roam the La Candelaria area, there are so many beautiful malls and streets and shops that will more than occupy an afternoon! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/fc8307cc-b207-4643-a18e-a5c77e4b1966/IMG_7685.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Medellin - Guatape Day trip to Guatape is one of those things that you just have to do, and for good reason honestly. This sounds somewhat of a begrudging recommendation, and it sort of is - the drive was long and the weather was not ideal and half our group had stomach issues and the bugs were all over the place, and well, you get the point. But with that said, the colorful town and its famous umbrella street is stunning, the lake and its coves and mansions (and history) is magnificent and hiking to the top of the rock of El Piñon is absolutely sick. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/cc6f0f5f-c7f2-45a0-9ba7-0fb826693148/IMG_7958.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Medellin - Communa 13 Communa 13 is the coolest neighborhood in the world. We did a half day tour of it, but it absolutely deserves a full day and night. The artwork, street performances, food, music, vibes, just absolutely everything is on point. To have once been the epicenter for Pablo Escobar’s drug trade and now play host to ferris wheels, skate parks, gondolas, and thousands of people from around the world is a spectacular site, and one that you absolutely must see (a tour is something I definitely would recommend, it can get confusing given the geography of the area). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/76dfb093-4624-4279-b2cd-bfd61a4aa56d/IMG_7403.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Medellin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/feab3109-20d8-4635-bc19-779772802345/G0019755.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Medellin - Paragliding Paragliding around Medellin is also one of those experiences that you just will never forget. Medellin is surrounded by massive hills, and getting to fly around them and feel the wind and clouds on your face while gliding next to birds and over waterfalls is next level. Plus, its not that expensive, and probably totally safe! But like actually, 100% safety record. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations-1/2024/3/20/cartagena monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/bfb35a13-ce68-44f5-a8b1-e8cc019a1791/IMG_6907.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Cartagena https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/be594368-f9fd-4a7e-a320-dddccbcbd187/IMG_6652_jpg.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Cartagena - Dine For the best ceviche in town, La Cevicheria is a must. It’s so good, I went twice, which is very rare for me. Carmen is the best spot in town for a fancier dinner. The Rum Box was also a lot of fun with some great food. Have street food, especially around Getsemani area. We did a street food tour as well, which I would highly recommend. There are a ton of options to choose from, and learning about the fruits, meats, and even the Chinese influence on Colombian food was quite fascinating. Cafe Del Mar for the best views, although getting in is annoying. You can only make a reservation if you have a large group, otherwise it is first come first serve, and there is always a LARGE line before sunset. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/3b31202f-709c-4223-a8d2-f6e0eee4a749/IMG_6867.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Cartagena - Drink Alquimico, alquimico, alquimico. This place is awesome, and was our favorite night out in Cartagena. It was also just ranked as the #9 bar in the world. For me, it might just be #1. Getsemani at night is phenomenal, just roam around and walk in to shot bars, get a mojito on the street, and have a good time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/2c80b94f-dc55-4350-8be2-d37d5c3edc1c/IMG_6769.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Cartagena https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1829ae27-7f29-4b62-86c7-c88febdddd7d/IMG_6804.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Cartagena https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/c1e44a7e-36da-492b-8bcd-384324e9cddd/IMG_6716_jpg.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Cartagena https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations-1/2024/3/20/independence-of-the-seas-amp-coco-cay monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/de203b4e-9677-4699-a36d-4d451657c8e4/IMG_6223.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Independence of the Seas &amp; CoCo Cay - The Island: CocoCay is the shit. It’s called Perfect Day at CocoCay, and rightfully so! They have thought about everything here at this Royal Caribbean private island, from those who want raunchy parties and swim up bars, to those who want a chill overwater bungalow, and beyond. The waterpark is absolutely wild and super fun! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/d90b6bf7-747a-4ac3-a117-db94c4a011e7/IMG_6189.jpg Destinations - Caribbean - Independence of the Seas &amp; CoCo Cay - The Ship: She is definitely on the older side, and its pretty evident, but the Independence can still hold its own. There is plenty to do, from the classic flow rider (I got up this time, granted for all of 10 seconds), water slides, promenade, and more. I think it has another 10 years, MAX, of being relevant before it slips away into irrelevancy, especially at a lower price point than its newer counterparts. With all that said, would I recommend going on this ship? Definitely not if its your first cruise. There are so many more newer and better ships out there and you’d definitely come out of the experience a little put off by the tackiness of this ship. But again, Independence does quick, cheap routes, and for that, it does the job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/73c19808-42d8-44e7-ab2d-ce5f10b3c6b7/IMG_6226.jpg Destinations -

Overall a lovely vibe, with that southern charm and Caribbean hospitality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/ffce5217-156a-45b5-ba42-4e8d302e28d1/IMG_3398.jpg Hotels - Caribbean - Ocean Key Resort - Rooms: B+ They’re cute, I guess. Kind of an outdated version of Southern chic meets the Virgin Islands. We were upgraded to a junior suite which had a nice view, and the added space was definitely a nice perk. At the end of the day, not much to write home about. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/00062898-0e97-4f69-94e1-48d963a219ac/IMG_3410.jpg Hotels - Caribbean - Ocean Key Resort - Dining: B+ Actually pretty decent options here. Burger and ceviche by the pool was great, dinner at Sunset Pier was absolutely fantastic, and there’s another restaurant on site as well that we never ended up checking out but looked nice. So all solid! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/950fa7c1-7a4b-47af-912b-ad55f092bcc1/IMG_3405.jpg Hotels - Caribbean - Ocean Key Resort - Amenities: B- There’s a pool, gym and spa but the pool isn’t the biggest or fanciest, the gym is tiny, and the spa is shockingly expensive. But they’re all there and that’s a solid perk. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/hotels-2/2024/3/20/blue-apple-resort monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/2e9391c3-5105-4b29-8f8c-f86a85c3dcdd/IMG_7996.jpg Hotels - Caribbean - Blue Apple Resort - Food: A- Everything we had here was really great, especially the paella one night at dinner. My only qualm would be that I wish there were a bit more options. But then again, we stayed for 3 days, and the hotel is really technically designed for day trippers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/0deedefb-5656-410a-9f9c-88c3aeac5d31/IMG_7188.jpg Hotels - Caribbean - Blue Apple Resort - Rooms: B+ Like shockingly nice design. High ceilings. Organic bathrooms with outdoor showers. Super freaking cool robe/towel situation provided. Comfortable beds. More than sufficient storage. Hammocks. AND some rooms come with a private plunge pool. Like, come on. My only issues with the rooms is that they did not do quite a good enough job of maintaining privacy, and there really should be an ocean view situation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/d77c7b27-7088-47ff-813d-358f6d5e5c51/IMG_7229.jpg Hotels - Caribbean - Blue Apple Resort - Scene The best. Like just so cool. We spent hours playing volleyball with some random Indian guys on a bachelors trip. Met girls from Ireland. Made friends from around the world. The staff are mostly all local and super cool as well. So yeah, the vibe here is fantastic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/a1ca13ce-f5c4-44a9-8349-df83ea9f9a75/IMG_7179.jpg Hotels - Caribbean - Blue Apple Resort - Amenities: B+ There is a gym (poorly equipped), an outdoor theater (poor sound and uncomfortable seats), no true lobby, only one restaurant and one bar option. So like it’s THERE, which is really better than anticipated anyway. There is a great dive center and tour options if you want to go out for an excursion, and you can get some paddle boards and kayaks, which is great. The beach is wonderful, the pool is a vibe, and that’s all you need when staying at Blue Apple. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-blog daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-blog/2024/3/20/tiktoks-japan monthly 0.5 2024-03-19 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-blog/2018/9/16/europe-video monthly 0.5 2018-09-19 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-blog/2018/5/27/fiji-video monthly 0.5 2018-07-07 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-blog/2018/4/1/video-punta-mita-2016-wedding monthly 0.5 2018-03-31 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-blog/2018/3/26/video-2017-in-review monthly 0.5 2018-03-26 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-blog/2018/3/26/video-new-years-trip monthly 0.5 2018-03-26 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations-world daily 0.75 2024-03-20 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations-world/2019/3/17/morocco monthly 0.5 2019-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864013995-NC4NG6RASRK3D5OC65NA/4D2B5E6F-678E-462F-A0BB-9341FA3D96C5.JPG Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552863888539-D79NDQ1J3DU6V38V102O/1A02007B-24C4-43C6-847D-C74CD8CBD92C.JPG Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552863930744-Z38NY9EAWQDGKEYO9A8W/25A7D56F-301E-4132-B90A-903A7BB71D15.JPG Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864052765-GQBVUPMC232XQZHVNG1B/DD4F8CE8-D7D8-4655-BB4E-4C52847C057F.JPG Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864439015-H8AS06C67L1UF20NTA9J/image-asset.image Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864465384-AE3JV24QM5P55FYMIXQO/image-asset.image Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864479703-31N3KY9OQLH22SO1W6M1/image-asset.image Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864492279-GDCXCEW0XCONJ0FYR24D/image-asset.image Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864492563-L5INQ1MF7Q2TF72FFQMB/image-asset.image Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864498541-PSC6JDG1ALWAX26ANRU9/image-asset.image Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864506105-KPRCBVJ93BQXNEWM0UV3/image-asset.image Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552863986183-TNEQUBMXTBJVIU3HAZHR/37724485-F53D-4FEB-AA99-3E6ABCD31A08.JPG Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864171011-NGJ52RBLSP4K6VNPPYKO/2D18E7A1-8589-47F6-86BF-836F9AE4A03A.JPG Destinations - World - Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1552864080555-JA2L30EAT7QFS01XJUA4/E0A8FA80-51EC-4A54-9515-6FB95FFAD5F1.JPG Destinations - World - Morocco https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/destinations-world/2018/5/27/fiji-treat-others monthly 0.5 2018-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1527374726041-YNN9J07ZHG4THJ9VVMMN/IMG_2219.JPG Destinations - World - Fiji: Treat Others Suva's public transportation-including some pretty awesome Fijian-pop music to keep the party going! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1527374688440-DPBTFYAVW21IT6MIU9NL/IMG_2297.JPG Destinations - World - Fiji: Treat Others Painting - rewarding but too boring for my taste https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1527374539536-GY4L13TJ9UIQQ40CX0CH/0713A6A9-6932-495D-9EA3-8D92B5018AB6.JPG Destinations - World - Fiji: Treat Others You may be ridiculously cute, but you can absolutely go and screw yourself.

Ritz Carlton Kyoto Japanese hospitality meets superb design and just incredible service at the Ritz Carlton Kyoto. The city itself is one of the most culturally impressive in the world, and this hotel recognizes that. They provide great tours, some of which are complimentary, to make the most of your time here. Within the hotel, you’ll find luxurious traditional rooms, a zen garden, lovely indoor pool complete with a waterfall, and one of the best bakeries in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/a0d59f9c-6724-41e8-a3e3-8e6ac5dbd551/IMG_0461.JPG Rankings - Top 10 Hotels in the World - 4. Mandarin Oriental Bangkok The history, the charm, the class. It’s a legendary property that has played host to countless authors, celebrities and royalty, and it is not hard to see why. The Mandarin Oriental Bangkok has it all. In fact, it has so much that it resides on BOTH sides of the Chao Praya River. You’ll find two pools, a massive gym complete with a muay thai rink, wonderful spa, and the best afternoon tea in the city inside the Author’s Lounge. Staff here are as attentive as it gets - they noticed us walking around with the provided fans and gave us three when we checked out! Plus, the location is ideal, with a complimentary boat shuttle taking you right underneath a BTS station to get wherever you need to. Its an icon of a hotel for an iconic brand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/3d19c602-05f8-4543-a219-d882aadc514b/B783AC4F-F160-45D2-968D-4369984C718C.jpg Rankings - Top 10 Hotels in the World - 6. Waldorf Astoria Pedregal Cabo is home to many of the best hotels I have ever stayed at, with the Cape and Viceroy both being high on my list, respectively. But the Waldorf Astoria Pedregal wins for a variety of reasons. Not only is it incredibly designed, with stunning infinity edge pools, a cliffside restaurant, private pools in the room, and a wildly expansive spa, but its location is also absolutely ideal. Accessible via a tunnel through the mountain, this hotel is only about a 10 minute drive from the center of the action in Cabo San Lucas, but feels a whole world away. Plus, chips/guacamole, and Coronitas provided for free every day is a HUGE plus! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/0b490a03-9734-43e9-9999-883a9c2953d8/IMG_2955.jpg Rankings - Top 10 Hotels in the World - 2. Belmond Caruso Perched above the dramatic Amalfi coastline, celebrated with a massive infinity and multiple world class restaurants, the Belmond Caruso was so beautiful that it earned the rights to the location for my father and step mother’s honeymoon, and that says a lot! To put it simply, no hotel in the world commands views like this hotel, and the rooms, amenities and staff are all world-class. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/11726905-3d79-47bf-a3c4-2a081e05d3c0/7AEE25DC-FAE9-485F-BA2D-EBD1BEAB54F2.jpg Rankings - Top 10 Hotels in the World - 3. Four Seasons Bora Bora This is one of those bucket list places you simply have to see to believe. Nothing quite beats the crystal clear water, massive overwater Polynesian villas and the stunning mountain looming in the background. Every touch point here is thought out to perfect, the food is incredible, the staff is absolutely on point, and the man-made snorkel lagoon was a blast. Truly a spectacular property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/e27204f1-b281-4dc1-844e-b210482a42cc/IMG_2420.jpg Rankings - Top 10 Hotels in the World - 1. Oberoi Rajvillas This is it. An enclave of perfect design, immaculately manicured grounds, wonderful regional food, and the most luxurious rooms. The service though is what sets this hotel apart. You are welcomed to the hotel with a showering of flower petals, you will engage in meaningful conversation with the general manager, befriend the gardeners, and laugh with the bartenders. Peacocks join you on your walk to the tennis court, where the locals behind the wall fly their kites and judge your serve. Its truly the embodiment of a perfect hotel, and that is why it is number one on my humble list. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/65b91d80-5afd-4a44-8f94-214394ee5888/IMG_4208.jpg Rankings - Top 10 Hotels in the World - 7. The Boca Raton Located in the upscale Floridian coastal town of Boca Raton, this epynomous hotel oozes class and style. There are several hotels within the property to choose from, each of which has the same level of service and luxurious quality. The amenities at this hotel are second to none, with dozens of pools, waterslides, a massive spa, tennis, golf, yachting…you get the point! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/d9f201a5-5337-49ca-96a4-8a95e38bd762/IMG_9774.jpg Rankings - Top 10 Hotels in the World - 9. Post Ranch Inn This is the best hotel in America. Hands down. The natural beauty on this rugged section of the California coast is one of the most stunning parts of the country, and this hotel maximizes it. Innovative organic environmental design was intended for people to feel a part of nature rather than observers. Designers of the hotel used bio-structure architecture, utilizing the natural materials of glass, wood, stone, and passive solar heat. The rooms are literal houses, and there is plenty of pools, trails and lounging areas to occupy your time here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/32fe3bb7-a2d1-4f8e-a50f-584faaaecb30/4C58D67D-E05A-4198-97F6-24478366FF1C.jpg Rankings - Top 10 Hotels in the World - 8. W Maldives The Maldives itself are a geographical wonder. The W Maldives makes the most of all the underwater glory this island nation has to offer, with overwater rooms that are perched above one of the most vibrant reefs I have ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot). W Hotels can be on the cheesy side with their designs, but this one is just right, with subtle references to their brand styles while embracing a more culturally appropriate design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/5b2488c2-38bf-4ef0-8347-23304c79304d/IMG_3142.jpg Rankings - Top 10 Hotels in the World - 5. Amangalla Aman hotels are simply a cut above. They just know how to do it. Staying here offers you a butler and your own private concierge, and these guys literally could read our minds - it was wild. Like other hotels wait until you need something to serve you, but the staff at the Amangalla served us what we needed before we knew we needed it. Combine that with the hotels setting within the historic Galle Fort, a lovely little spa, surprisingly large pool, amazing food and rooms that exude colonial luxury and you have yourself the fifth best hotel in the world. https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-one-bshsy monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-two-9ct2h monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-twelve-8rd56 monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-eleven-fxdys monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-ten-7z5bm monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-nine-4twhl monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-eight-z3wh7 monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-seven-hptkx monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-six-nrbsn monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-five-t8tje monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-gxx6a monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/example-blog-post-three-e492t monthly 0.5 2020-05-04 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/category/Lifestyle monthly 0.5 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/category/Latest monthly 0.5 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/category/Home monthly 0.5 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/blog/category/Food monthly 0.5 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/subscribe-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/about daily 0.75 2018-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1522456476146-30WNIZRMOV8B9S8CA5XU/DSC04520.JPG About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/1522456121774-YORJJW6F8UQTFB0FHT6T/DSC04649.JPG About https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-page daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/new-page-2 daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/latest-posts daily 1.0 2024-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/593ab9072994ca8e37f83551/eec2c2d5-b537-46d5-a031-bfb0eec7cea5/Screen+Shot+2024-03-19+at+11.48.28+AM.png Latest Posts - 67 DOWN, 128 TO GO join me on this journey, and understand how to arrive and thrive https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/featured-post daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57d6c55a2994cab476e9fb40/1588549806362-31G8OAKLZ692DUDF1WLJ/ca0012.jpg Featured Post https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/recent-posts daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://www.arrivingandthriving.com/subscribe daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57d6c55a2994cab476e9fb40/1588546032089-BAULXE3CYR01AZBG9AAX/2015-08-12_home-goods-0052-v2-FINAL.jpg Subscribe
