Here's a few pictures from NYC during the winter season!
Ios will hands down be remembered for all the partying we did on this crazy island! From day beach clubs, pool parties, to the night clubs, Ios knows how to party!
Lets be real, when we think of Greece, our minds immediately picture the beautiful island of Santorini! If your obsession with Santorini started with the movie Sisters of the Traveling Pants or Instagram photos, let me tell you the hype is real.
Did not know what to expect from the lovely island of Paros, but it surely did not disappoint! From the white houses,cute restaurants,boat excursions, breathtaking sunsets, and my new found appreciation for Greek beach clubs -I'm ready to head back!!
Is this real life? I cannot believe I met most of Colombia's national soccer team but most importantly I met my soccer player crush JAMES RODRIGUEZ!!!
The journey to Athens from Corfu was a long one but nonetheless I was excited to be in the capital of Greece! Here's an Athen's Travel guide on what to get up to while visiting.
Our first stop in beautiful Greece was Corfu, which was a little slice of paradise! After having a hectic schedule in previous weeks, we had much needed down time. My favorite memories were in Greece and will definitely be coming back soon.
Here's a guide to Pompeii, Italy.
I've been craving Spanish tapas, ever since my recent Euro-trip! I found this cute restaurant that was perfect for my grandma's birthday celebration and also to satisfy my tapas craving.
Here is what you need to know before visiting the Vatican.
Ciao Roma! How can you visit Italy without stopping by and exploring Rome? The city of unforgettable history, art, restaurants, nightlife and entertainment is a must see. With a limited time frame in Rome, hitting up the main attractions is up high on the priority list.
Florence is filled with so much art and cultural history it is hard not to love this city. You will be swept away into Renaissance as you are surrounded by beautifully preserved, architecturally perfect, historical buildings and breathtaking art at every turn. Also the food here is amazing with trattorias, osterias, cafes, gelaterias and pizzerias everywhere!
If you love food, Smorgasburg is the place to visit to try out yummy foods from a variety of vendors!
En route to Florence, we have a stopover in Pisa! This is a tourist filled sanctuary that's always busy throughout the day. This is a popular stop between Venice and Florence. I couldn't wait to see the structure in person and take my basic tourist photo in front of it as well as the hundred of other people doing the exact same thing.
Oh Venice, the wonderful city of colorful buildings, whimsical bridges, tons of canals, and tiny streets. Every corner you you turn, your lost in a real life water color painting that your camera can never do justice (trust me I tried). This blogpost is PHOTO HEAVY, I couldn't stop snapping away photos here!
Make sure you dress up in your nicest outfit to head out for a night in Monaco! It is your one night to be alongside the rich and famous so make it count. Monaco is one of the smallest countries in the world besides the Vatican. Its known for it's opulence of luxury cars, high rolling gamblers, legendary casino, huge yachts, amazing nightlife and sightings of rich and famous celebrities. Things are more expensive here but don't let that get in the way of having fun in Monaco!
If you're ever in the South France, you have to visit the gorgeous town of Nice. There's so much to see and do so make sure you allocate your time correctly!
The South of France has many hotspots to visit and Antibes is definitely a place you need to go check out whenever you're in the area!
We finally made it to Spain! The coach ride was very long but I slept most of the way. I was excited to see what Barcelona had to offer. When I booked this tour I didn't really know what to expect when going to Barcelona, I was initially more excited to see the other cities on the tour. Surprisingly, I was taken aback on how much I really loved this city. I don't know if it was the energy, the food, or the people, it just reminded me of home. As a latina, being in a country that speaks spanish, has amazing flavorful food, fresh juices, great music that just made me want to dance all night long, just took all the homesick feelings away. I could see myself living there, I just didn't want to leave. I never would of thought I would fall in love with Barcelona the way I did. I wish we stayed in this city longer during this tour because it wasn't enough. I was craving more time in Barcelona and I will for sure be coming back soon!
From the busy city of Paris to the picturesque country side, the views are unbelievable! The long coach ride was filled with singing, sleeping, talking, and eating. Having a window seat and seeing the scenery on the way to our next destination was just breathtaking.
Oh Paris, the city of love. Many of us think of romantic love stories from the movies we watched or books that we read when we hear or think of the city of Paris. I was super excited when we finally arrived and couldn't wait to see what the city has to offer!
Getting off the airplane, going through customs, finding my luggage seemed like I was in a dream or maybe it was the jet lag kicking in or that fact I was really sleepy but it finally hit me that I'm OFFICIALLY in Europe... by myself.. OHMYGOD!
If you're considering booking with Contiki, here is a full honest review on my trip I did with them. I went on the London to Athens plus 9 day Greek Adventurer tour which was my first ever tour experience and it was a whirlwind adventure.
Happy Colombian Independence Day! I found this video I made from last years annual festival.
Stuffing your suitcase with a bunch of clothes before a trip can be messy. Also keeping your suitcase organized during a trip is hard if you're trying going to multiple cities. If you want to keep your suitcase organized during an upcoming vacation, you might want to look into buying packing cubes!
Reminiscing on amazing memories from last year's World Cup!
I'm seriously OBSESSED with colored mirrored sunglasses at the moment. My collection is steadily growing especially since summer is coming up!
One of things on bucket list to do is to one day attend Japan's cherry blossom festival. I've seen so many breathtaking photos from people who have attended and it's definitely something to check out! Since I can't jet set to Japan at this moment, I found a cherry blossom nearby in the tri-state region that will do. I visited a park in New Jersey called 'Branch Brook Park', it's not more than a 45 minute drive out of Manhattan. During their Cherry Blossom festival you will find tons of people taking photos or walking around here so I recommend coming during the week when it's not to busy as opposed to the weekends! Here are some snap shots from my visit at Branch Brook Park!
Cartagena, Colombia is a vibrant, historical, and fun place to go visit on your next holiday! Many tourists tend to head down here to go to it's amazing beaches, resorts, and learn about it's rich history. It's located on the northern coast of Colombia which means the weather is always hot and amazing. It's also the fifth largest city in Colombia. There is always something to do in Cartagena so you'll never be bored!

The oldest city in Colombia, Santa Marta is made up of beautiful beaches and the stunning mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta range. There's so much to do whether it's hiking, snorkeling, parasailing, or just relaxing by the beach.Santa Marta is one of the places in Colombia where I have the best memories. The last time I was there, a group of 19 family members left Bogota to Santa Marta by plane and had the best time of our lives. It's a short hour and thirty-five minute plane ride from Bogota to Santa Marta. If you're looking to get out of the city and experience Colombia's beaches, I definitely recommend visiting Santa Marta!
Both my parents are from Colombia which may make me biased when writing this blog post (lol). Surprisingly, my parents met in the United States but are both from the same beautiful city of Bogota. Bogota is Colombia's capital which is also the largest city in Colombia, and one of biggest cities in Latin America. I've been fortunate enough to visit Colombia many times growing up. There is so much culture, history, and beautiful architecture to explore in this wonderful city. I wanted to to share a few places that I think is worth visiting when visiting Bogota.
The infamous International Makeup Artist Trade Show (IMATS) was this weekend! I've been attending IMATS ever since it came to New York City back in 2011. I've met so many beauty vloggers and bloggers over the years through this event and it's something I always look forward to every year! Each year IMATS gets bigger and bigger and this year was no exception. If you have no idea what I'm talking about let me break it down for you.

After sightseeing in Washington, D.C (click here) to read full blog post, my cousin and I decided to make a quick stop in Georgetown for some cupcakes. It was a short fifteen minute drive and I just fell in love with the area. I loved seeing colorful buildings, wonderful architecture, and just overall I was digging the vibe of Georgetown.
My
cousin and I decided to take a break from New York and head down to
Washington, D.C for the day! Surprisingly, I've never visited Washington, D.C before. I think I
might have missed this particular school trip when I was younger,
oops. If you ever visiting Washington D.C during a quick day trip, here are the must see places to see!
