Overnight Camping Guide: Alabama Hills, CA

As most full-time employees know, weekends are precious. Saturdays and Sundays fly by and the next thing we know, we're back at the office. You only have 48 hours, just enough time to make a drive up to Alabama Hills in Inyo County, CA, for an overnight camping trip. You may give up the luxury of extra sleep or lounging on the couch, but I guarantee the short adventure will rejuvenate you for the next week. Once you arrive you will realize why there have been hundreds of movies filmed here including 1938's 'The Lone Ranger' and 2000's 'Gone in 60 Seconds'.

8 Instagram-Worthy Photo Ops in Tulum

It's paradise for photographers, vacationers, and professional relaxationers (I just made that an occupation and a word). The Tulum weather is bikini-friendly all year long, the crystal clear waters are a beautiful deep turquoise, and the resorts cater to your vacation dreams. Most of the best photo spots are not shared with the public so we had to discover most of these ourselves. I know most of the fun is in the exploration but why not share the wealth?

It was a chilly October morning. We heard Angel's Landing was amazing - full of red rocks and beautiful waterfalls, but we had no idea how impressive this place would be. It combines uphill challenges, variety, and viewpoints so insane you have to stop and stare (or take a picture, because you have to). Here's your guide to discovering the perfect hike in Zion: Angel's Landing.

7 Best Dog-Friendly Trails in Orange County

Orange County is known for its beautiful beaches and pristine neighborhoods. Its parks and beaches are extremely well kept due to the county's strict regulations which sometimes excludes your fluffy pal. They are definitely there to preserve nature, but responsible dog owners often have a tough time finding outdoor places for their beloved pets to smell fresh grass, play in the sand, or mark their 'territories'. However, there are still some hidden spots in Orange County to bring your best friend to roam everywhere and smell everything!

Not Your Typical Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas

Valentine's Day can be a lot of pressure, not to mention costly. You'll probably see more men at the grocery store this time of year, buying everything red and pink from the front of the store.

My 2018 Travel Bucket List

Resolution of 2018: Travel as much as possible to destinations I have never been to. Is it possible? Sure. Is it probable considering financial budgets, career priorities, and limited time? Well, I'd like to think so.
These destinations may not be exotic islands in the Atlantic Ocean where you can swim with pigs or slay dragons from the top of a castle, but they are perfect for simple weekend adventures. For travel enthusiasts and weekenders alike, consider one if not a few of these if you want to rule your breaks this year.

20 Thrifty Travel Tips to Rule Your Breaks

How do you travel luxuriously with a full-time job, a budget, and limited time off? I constantly get asked this question by followers, friends, and even family. My question to you is: What do you consider luxury? If you expect to be chartered off in a yacht with Lil' Wayne and Dom Pérignon, whatever you read here probably won't satisfy your travel dreams. But if you can bend your budget and make the most of your holidays and weekends, you can create memories of a lifetime.

You do not have to be rich to travel cheap.

8 Summer Activities To Do in Lake Tahoe

Growing up just a few hours away, I've always thought of Lake Tahoe as a winter destination myself. I have spent a few winters here sipping hot chocolate by the fire after a full day of skiing. However, summer is a whole different kind of fun – full of outdoor activities, lakeside beaches, hiking and exquisite mountain views. The possibilities of summer activities in Lake Tahoe are endless! The aroma of pine trees and crisp mountain air follows you as you hike the Sierra Nevada mountains, kayak the large freshwater lake, or enjoy the fine dining the city has to offer.

Central California Road Trip Guide

Central California Road Trip Guide

Once in a while, taking the long way is more rewarding and fulfilling. If traveling from Los Angeles to San Francisco, most people opt for the direct inland route of I-5 or the scenic route of I-101. However, neither of these routes are nearly as rewarding as taking the road less traveled and driving up the central coast on the beautiful California State Route 1. On my recent trip from LA to San Francisco, I decided to take the extra time to explore the California central coast on Highway 1, the highway that is described by many as the most scenic drive in America.
