A selection of some of my favorite classic San Francisco experiences so far! We've done all the touristy stuff and I maintain that things are touristy for a reason: they're great! ❤️ Biking across the Golden Gate Bridge ❤️ Admiring all the beautiful houses (including Janis Joplin House) ❤️ Seeing the Painted Ladies ❤️ Irish Coffee at the Buena Vista Cafe ❤️ Hippy vibes in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood ❤️ Palace of the Fine Arts ❤️ The original China Town ❤️ Clam chowder in a sourdough bread bowl ❤️ Hearing those cell doors slam shut at Alcatraz #sanfrancisco #visitsf #onlyinsf

🥵🔥💦 Vegas is HOT, but the prices are NOT! We recently stayed at the Plaza Hotel and it was so affordable - like $29/night! Here's why I loved it: the pool!! It''s chill and low-key, only $25 for a daybed with an umbrella and buckets of ice cold beer are $30. Hell ya dude 😎 You can get this $29 deal on Plannin. I also have a full review of the hotel on there or on my YouTube channel if you want to see more of the hotel! #itsadryheat @plannintravel #plannintravel #plazalv #plazahotel #lasvegashotels #lasvegas #vegasvacation #vegas #dtlv #fremontstreet

Thank you thank you thank you for 100,000 subscribers!!! ❤️ 📍Mural pic is from the super cool brewery @ol_beautifulbrewingco in #YYC and they just had an awful fire in their taproom so show them some love and go buy some beer if you're in the Calgary area!!

This deal is only available until June 30th! Rates are normally extremely reasonable at the Plaza Hotel in Vegas, so would you pay $200/night for a king room, unlimited drinks and breakfast and dinner for you and your travel partner? I'm not sure if this is a trial run for maybe something more permanent in the future or if this is just a June promo. #LasVegas #fremontstreet #dtlv #plazahotel #downtownlasvegas #vegastips #vegastravel #lasvegastravel #lasvegashotels #hotelreview #plazalv #theplacetobedowntown #mydtlv #vegasviews

Freaking out about WestJet's new UltraBasic fare announcement? Here are 3 different personal items bags I tested that fit under the seat in front of you, which means they're free!! You can easily pack for 3+ days in each of these bags (and even more days if you watch my YT videos 😉) How do you feel about this recent WJ announcement? I think it's a good option for travelers who want to get from Point A to Point B for as cheap as possible. I think we all knew this was coming when Swoop went away in October 😅 Visit my Linktree where I listed these exact bags in my Amazon store. #westjet #westjetultrabasicfare #personalitem #carryonluggage #flyingtips #traveltips #canadatravel #lowcosttravel #undertheseat #carryontravel #westjetairlines

🌴some quick thoughts on my stay at the RIU Latino!! This is a fantastic resort for what you pay. I don't think there's better value for an adults-only all-inclusive. 👇 Pools were lots of fun, to find a lounger you have to claim it by about 1030...and then people start to leave around 2 and more loungers clear up. It...gets rowdy! A few different days they brought the ole wheel chairs out for some ppl who had a little too much fun. Beach is incredible!!! The sand is insanely soft. You need to be at the beach by 9 to get a lounger. Truthfully, I didn't spend as much time there as I wanted...couldn't get a lounger and it is quite a walk to the water...in the blazing heat. Seaweed not bad at at all this time of year. Some days there was a bit of schmutz, other days pretty much clear. If you tip well, you will get incredible service. All the staff are amazing and nice. We saw multiple guests who not only didn't tip but were quite rude...please be a nice person to these hard workers! After a couple days of tipping well, they bring out the good stuff for you, trust me 🍾🍸 Food is food. At this price point, it's nice to not go grocery shopping, cook dinner and do dishes. So I was happy with it 😉 no one in my party got sick. The nightclub is so much fun! And you don't have to be 18 to enjoy it 😅 There are the classic RIU parties you can attend (night party and 2 pool parties). Pool parties sounded fun, but they're at the resorts 30-40mins away by bus and we just couldn't be bothered 🤷‍♀️ we have been to the white party at a previous RIU and felt it was too family-oriented so we weren't interested in this adults-only trip. The rooms are all new and modern, balconies are great. We had an ocean view room 3095...it was great except overtop of the nightclub lol. I think because the ocean is so far from the resort, having a partial vs. ocean view wouldn't be a huge difference? Espresso martinis are where it's at! All the bartenders know how toake a great one. After all that...would I stay here again? I'm not sure. There are so many amazing resort choices...I would probably try a couple different ones before coming back. Full YouTube video soon!

June is hands down my favorite month of the year 🌸 what's yours?

Dress code:👙

Flair Airlines approved luggage! We tested a bunch of personal item-sized and carry-on bags, and these are the ones that fit perfectly in the luggage sizers! Low-cost carriers are an affordable way to travel, but you need to be aware of how much it costs to bring bags on board! Don't get caught at the gate with an oversized bag and be forced to either pay extra or gate check it. #flairairlines #carryonluggage #traveltips #carryontravel #canadatravel #monos #monostravel #carryonluggage #travelessentials #level8luggage #flyingtips
