As I was visiting Tahoe for a limited amount of time, I decided that I should probably do the best rated hike on AllTrails, (and also Tahoe’s highest peak), which is how I ended up hiking Mount Tallac. Hiking Mount Tallac was worth all of the trudging through snow, all of the thigh burns … Read more

Between steep mountain lookouts and hidden waterfalls, San Diego has a lot more to offer than you might think. If you’re looking to expand your horizons, here are some other hiking trails to … Read more
I use Airbnb religously when I travel. I’d way rather stay in a interesting apartment or a cozy homey getaway than a hotel. Since a lot of my friends also use Airbob a ton, I assumed that everyone was comfortable using it. When I was visiting family in Pennsylvania and Florida this winter, it … Read more
Despite the last minute permit, a little car trouble, a slightly flooded tent, and forgetting the much needed gloves for hiking the cables, we still succeeded in summiting Half Dome back in September. Here’s my video from the experience (and please reach out if you have questions about doing it too!):

5 days in Banff is enough time to reach the summit of a few snowy peaks, enough time to paddle through the blue waters of Lake Moraine, and enough time to drive on one of the most beautiful highways in the world. Banff has exploded on social media this year. In fact, I couldn’t go a … Read more
For those of you who haven’t heard of the Goat Canyon Trestle hike, it’s an extremely difficult hike through the Anza-Borrego desert to the largest free standing railroad trestle in the world (if you don’t get lost). I hike a lot, but I never have gotten as lost as I did while hiking to Goat … Read more

Santorini is almost synonymous with honeymooners – and why wouldn’t it be? A tiny island with bright white cliffside buildings, some of the best sea food and one of the most famous sunsets in the world. But, if you’re like me (hell, I’m still on at least 3 dating apps), and you don’t know if … Read more
I first saw Lake Braies while scrolling through Instagram: it’s bright blue water embraced by enormous jagged mountains that were scattered with snow and pine trees. Lake Braies was reminiscent of Canada’s Lake Louise, but smaller, almost more private. A lonely dark wood cabin stood at the end of most pictures, seeming too perfect to actually be real. It … Read more
If you would have told me a few years ago that I would be hiking through several feet of snow in the Dolomites solo, I probably wouldn’t have believed you.

You may have read my post on Caminito Del Rey, the world’s most dangerous walkway. Although the path has been restored to a less dangerous version of itself, and most of the crumbling concrete paths have been turn into well maintained wooden boards, the hike is still as beautiful as ever. Take a look for yourself below:

Chances are, you’ve heard about the infamous Yacht Week in Croatia by now. Or at least you’ve seen the pictures. You know, the photos with a bunch of Yachts tied up in a circle in the middle of bright blue water, or the ones of a giant party on donut and flamingo-shaped rafts. For those of you living … Read more
3 days in Marrakech isn’t a lot of time for a city so densely packed with enchanting mosques and palaces, strange spices, exotic food, extravagant decor, and the list goes on. How do you keep your head on straight with Marrakech’s mazelike alleys pulling you in every which direction? Be prepared for your senses … Read more
Caminito Del Rey has been known in the past as the “world’s most dangerous walkway”, a well deserved nickname considering that there have been five deaths. But recently, the deteriorating metal rails and holy concrete walkways that once made up Caminito Del Rey have been replaced by a much more manageable (and probably less fun) wooden pathway. Keep … Read more
