One of the greatest things about traveling is meeting new people from different parts of the world and eating all kinds of different foods. But there are also some  great upsets in traveling internationally, such as food poisoning, hidden fees and dangerous bug bites!

Backpacking to Havasupai is one journey I’ll never forget. I spent three days climbing up and  down the red sandy hills of the Grand Canyon, swimming in the blue-green water of the Havasu Creek and hanging out with 23 awesome individuals.

I have been itching to see the magical falls of Havasupai since last year. When I got invited by a fellow adventurer,  I gladly said YES

To avoid Black Friday’s commercial madness, a group of adventurers and I decided to participate in REI’s #OptOutside mission - to inspire others to live an adventurous life.

Life truly felt B-E-A-U-tiful on September 25th, 2015. Downtown, Las Vegas hosted its 3rd annual art and music festival, Life is Beautiful - and it was incredible. The event featured 18 blocks of street art installations, delicious foods and grand stages. 

Angels Landing is one of the sought out hiking trails in Zion National Park. Almost every traveler and hiker, who’s near Utah, tend to make a day trip to hike the Angels Landing - and I can understand why. Angels Landing is by far, one of the hardest trails I’ve ever hiked. It was challenging, thrilling and breathtaking. 

My family and I went on an island hopping group tour with Islanen Outdoors. We had a tour guide, a life guard and a captain with us. All were all very accommodating and very knowledgeable. They presented everyone on the boat informative facts about each island. More importantly, they gave us useful environmental tips to preserve the natural conditions of the islands.

El Nido, Palawan is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. The islands were magical, the foods were exquisite and the people were just wonderful.
