  • LA Dreams: My Ultimate Adventure in the City of Stars

    Finally made it to Los Angeles! This city has been on my travel bucket list forever, and it did not disappoint. From iconic landmarks to bustling streets, my LA experience was a whirlwind of sights, sounds, and sunshine. Let’s dive into some of the unforgettable places I got to explore!

    Hollywood Walk of Fame: Kicking off with a classic! The Walk of Fame is every bit as vibrant and chaotic as I imagined—it’s a strip filled with stores, street performers, and nonstop hustle. Everyone’s out here grinding, selling, and entertaining, and I even spotted a few familiar names on those famous stars. The traffic, though? A true crawl, but hey, it gives you time to soak in the atmosphere!

    Santa Monica Pier: This spot was an absolute vibe. Between the beautiful beach views, live music, and that must-have funnel cake, I was in paradise. I even caught a street performer dancing to his own song about tacos—pure LA energy! As the sun set over the ocean, the entire place just glowed. It’s the kind of magic that makes you never want to leave.

    In-N-Out Burger: Of course, I had to make the pilgrimage! This West Coast legend definitely lives up to the hype, with those juicy burgers and the iconic simplicity of the menu. But full disclosure: I could’ve eaten two! I’ll be back for that double cheeseburger, for sure.

    Hollywood Sign: A total bucket-list moment! We didn’t get all the way up, but seeing it up close was surreal. There’s something about standing in front of that iconic sign, saying “Hollywood,” and realizing you’re actually there! And the city lights at night? Jaw-dropping.

    Long Beach: This spot is its own little paradise. We checked out the Yard House, saw the cruise ship, and wandered through a ton of cool shops. Live music, patio restaurants, and great bars make Long Beach a perfect chill-out spot—ideal for winding down after a day of sightseeing.

    These were my top five highlights, but honestly, LA is packed with so much to explore. The time zone difference kept me on my toes, but the entire experience was worth it. If you haven’t been to LA yet, you’re missing out on an adventure. It’s pricey, sure, but this city might just be the perfect fit for anyone chasing big dreams. Can’t wait to plan my return!

  • A Jamaican Getaway: Sun, Sumfest, and Unforgettable Vibes

    In 2015, I took my first trip to Jamaica, and let me tell you—it was everything! I was traveling with two of my aunts and my brother, and we headed to the adults-only paradise known as Secrets Wild Orchid. We were there for seven days of sun, relaxation, and of course, Sumfest!

    For those who don’t know, Sumfest is the reggae festival, featuring legendary artists and performers. We were lucky enough to meet Beenie Man, Jesse Royal, and even Common and his band. Between the music and the warm, welcoming energy, Jamaica felt like a dream come true.

    Our resort? Absolute heaven! With over seven restaurants, a nightclub, and easy access to neighboring resorts, there was always something to do. But honestly, lounging by the pool or the beach with a Piña Colada in hand was my happy place. I love the water, so you know I was soaking up every moment.

    We did get out and explore too! We danced at Margaritaville, watched cliff divers at Rick’s Café, and even checked out Bob Marley Park. My aunt’s friends gave us a local tour, showing us the many sides of Jamaica—from the high life to the everyday neighborhoods. It was eye-opening and beautiful.

    The whole trip was a perfect balance of family time and solo relaxation, with the bonus of great food, endless drinks, and no kids in sight (sorry, not sorry!). If you’ve never been to Jamaica, go! The exchange rate makes everything so affordable, and trust me, it’s worth every penny. Resorts like this give you everything in one package—meals, drinks, entertainment—it’s the ultimate getaway.

    Now I’m hooked on travel and can’t wait for my next adventure! Have you been to Jamaica? What did you do? I’d love to hear your stories!

  • Traveled to Clearwater FL

    Traveled to Clearwater FL

     

    Had a chance to go to Clearwater FL. The beach was nice, and it was a great day to go. The waves were hitting just right. I love to go to the beach and just relax. It gives me peace of mind. We also went to the escape room. Now that was fun, we ended up winning and getting out of it. We had to open a couple of doors and get a couple of clues. It was hard and it makes you think. I love going to the escape room. It’s better when you go as a group and have more brains lol.

    We also did the dolphin tour, and we were able to see two dolphins jumping out of the water and sight seeing that was cool. It also took us to another little, small part to do scuba diving if we wanted too. It was a good trip with great friends. We went to a couple spots to eat and just see what clearwater had to offer.

    I definitely would go back. It’s a nice spot for vacation and a lot to do. This was just a weekend getaway, so we didn’t have a lot of time to do everything we wanted to do. I loved the view and if you have never been check it out. The Beach is nice if you love going to the beach.

     

    Tell me about your experience If you ever have been. What were some of the things that you did while there?

    My Name is Suzie. My bike is a 1996 Suzuki DR650 SE (Dual sport bike) and cost me £1500 (maybe around $2000usd). I bought the bike in the UK and then took it to South America for the journey of a lifetime. So far, I’ve been in South America for 16 months, and I have 10 months left to go. It’s a great choice as many of the great places to explore dirt roads and this bike just copes with it all so well, plus you can get tires and spare parts in many places. It’s been changed a little for example I have got wide foot pegs, a 26 liter acerbic fuel tank, an uprated stator and carb, an aftermarket rear shock, seat concepts seat etc.
