As the Disney peeps know, Paradise Pier in California Adventure has officially made it’s debut as the newly transformed Pixar Pier! Amongst the theme changes, the beloved Cove Bar was also remodeled and rebranded after the Luxo Lamp and all things Pixar! I was fortunate enough to squeeze in a one-day Disney trip this summer […]
GUYS I don’t even have time to come up with a proper intro to this post because the event is for such a limited time! If you’re from the greater Los Angeles area (and a Disney fan, but who isn’t) you have to check out the That’s From Disneyland exhibit in Sherman Oaks. Until end of August, […]
Something really intriguing to me and my hospitality student mind is alternative lodging. Don’t get me wrong, hotels are super great — a clean shower, starched sheets and wiped-down TV remote — but when I plan a trip I prefer to seek out a place to stay that really reflects where I am. So without […]
Well, I have a new dream job to fantasize over! I had the privilege of touring the Airbnb headquarters in San Francisco through their Social Impact Experiences and needless to say, I’m hooked. Not only did I get to learn more about such a young and thriving company, but my attendance supported Girls in Tech, the […]
One of those classic “totally American” things my home country features is bizarre roadside attractions. The world’s largest ball of yarn, Confusion Hill, a meteor crater in Arizona and Mount Rushmore. Some are more tailored to children, others for adults, but the Cabazon Dinosaurs are the perfect attraction for all! Any good Coachella or Stagecoach trip […]
For being in the middle of a desert, Palm Springs was such vibrant surprise! I swear I did a decent amount of research about what to do and where to stay before we arrived in this trendy lil’ town, but it turns out I wasn’t very thorough. I completely missed the memo about a huge […]
I may not be sure how to pronounce Yucca Valley (Yuck-uh or Yoo-kah??), but I do know that making a visit next time you’re on Highway 62 is a given. Other questionable things about this place…everything. Teeeeechnically everything to see is spread out between the towns of Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms, but they’re […]
Your flight arrives at JFK at 4pm giving you a whole evening in New York City, what do you do? If the obvious answer isn’t go to the Barclays Center and watch the Islanders play the Rangers, you may see yourself out now. For being a cross-river rivalry the general vibe of the game was much […]
How far would I go to hear Matthew Luhn, former animator and storyteller for Pixar, speak about the art of storytelling? Well, I’d wake up at 5am, sit through the San Jose to San Francisco morning commute, miss a day of classes and attend a conference that doesn’t relate to what I’m studying. And it […]
Trigger warning to all Californians and nature junkies: you are now entering a non-nature lover zone… more specifically, the zone of my dislike for Yosemite. Please leave your pitchforks at the door and read on before judging. As a Californians do, I have visited Yosemite three times, and had personal issues each trip. So, after a ten […]
