Wandering Lion

What better way to start a new decade than traveling? This time around, the experience was completely different - I did something with my family that we had not done at all... we went on a road trip from Miami all the way to New York! It took us about three days to get to Manhattan, the hours were long but it was worth it. Some tips when going on a road trip that will take approximately 24 hours of driving: bring snacks, downl...

 Guatemala is filled with such a colorful culture, that a lifetime is not enough to fully appreciate the wonders this country has to offer. Even for me, I was born and raised here, I am still getting to know it! This past weekend, my friends and I got the opportunity to experience different activities in Antigua. Usually, people only go to Antigua to walk around and eat but there is so much more to do.

We stayed at El Convento...

October is my absolute favorite month of the year, mainly because of Halloween but also because of the countless number of activities you can do around the world! I had never been to Orlando during these months, until a year ago. Having been here when everything is decorated for fall and Halloween was enough for me to decide to go back this year. This time, I went with a different group of friends - maybe next year the group w...

 One thing that made me fall in love with the United States was their fall season. Being from Guatemala, we never really get anything other than spring - which I do not complain about, but it is nice to see nature change colors. I decided I could not miss fall and the opportunity to be with my loved ones during this beautiful season, so I booked a flight and a train ticket and let my autumn fantasy begin!

My first stop was my b...

 Having announced my big 2020 trip (I want to go on a wild life service trip to Africa!), I have thought almost every single day if I am built for this. Will I be able to handle a service trip? And, as I was going through my social media, I discovered that I had already done a service trip... in my own country about 3.5 years ago! During my graduate years at Wagner College, its Physician Assistant Program asked for my help to...

 It has been a while since my last blog post, but I wanted to return with a GREAT one. And, what better way to make my comeback than with a blog about my most recent trip... to Japan! I have always wanted to travel to this beautiful country, mainly because a lot of the things I like originate from Japan - Pokemon, Zelda, Spirited Away, Okami, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and sushi! This time around, I asked my sister to come with me on...

 If you know me, you know that I like to celebrate my birthday BIG. This year, it was no exception. The planning for my 26th birthday began almost a year ago when my favorite artist announced her Vegas residency, Lady Gaga. As soon as I knew when the tickets were coming out, I set reminders and immediately told my mom that I knew what I wanted for my birthday. We booked our concert tickets and began planning our West Coast tak...

My adventures have resumed! This time, I got the opportunity to travel to the incredible country, Peru! When an incredible opportunity like this is presented to you, you ALWAYS take it. I have heard wonderful things from this place from my family, and being a country of adventure, I was ready to pack my bags the moment the trip was booked. During my travels, I visited the iconic places but also got to experience some truly hid...

Over this past weekend, I had the pleasure of staying at one of Guatemala's most up-and-coming hotels, the Hyatt Centric! This lux hotel is located in Avia in Zone 10, and it is perfectly located for anyone who is coming to visit the country and wants to be somewhere in the middle of all the action. I have previously wandered about the hotel and Avia; gone to some of its bars and restaurants. But it was until this past weekend...

If you have been following my travels for the past few years, then you know I am completely obsessed with France. France was the first country I visited when I first came to Europe for the first time, almost 3 years ago. And now, it has a special place in my heart... such a place that I have come back every year since my first time. Maybe one year I will actually come during spring or summer.

 As soon as I checked into the hote...
