Hawaii is the ultimate place for adventure, especially if you love nature. My round trip ticket from Florida cost me about $650 and I stayed in a high rise hotel on Bishop Street in Honolulu. To drive around the entire island of Oahu takes only a few hours and there is something to see at every corner, if you head to Laniakea beach in the morning, you might be able to spot the sea turtles just chilling but if not, you’ll see surfers out there. There are unlimited water falls and hikes to go on, my favorite waterfall was Manoa falls. It was nice little hike to the falls, and when you get there, just WOW, the fall was about 150 ft and flowing into a natural pool. There are signs around the pool warning people to not go but who’s gonna give up that opportunity? One thing I did realize about Is that on Oahu, a lot of hikes were restricted but nobody really cared, people were still hiking them. A very dangerous, “restricted” and fun hike is the Pali Puka hike, 90% of the hike is literal on the edge of a clif, (go at your own risk). At the end of the hike, you’ll have an amazing view and there is a giant hole in the mountain that is good for pictures. You get to it from the Pali lookout, when you get there, there is a broken wall in the side of the parking lot designated for buses, go through that broken wall for the hike. While in Hawaii 2 things you have to try, shaved ice from Anahulu’s and garlic shrimp from Giovani’s Shrimp Truck, it’s a must, oh and an Açaí bowl from this place called da Cove Health Bar and Cafe, you won’t regret it. Visit Diamond Head State Monument if our want to get that iconic downtown Hawaii photo and the Byodi-In Temple for some peace and prayer ??

I took a plane from London to Barcelona which cost me about 80 euros, it could’ve been cheaper but it was a same day ticket. I took a train from the airport into the city and I was not disappointed. I headed straight for the beach. Barceloneta Beach, was amazing, it’s a nude beach, well at least there were females there topless. The water was a bit ruff when I was there but the water temperature was perfect for the hot weather, and when you get hungry, there were several shops that you could purchase food from. Throughout the city there were bicycle rental stands, I walked mostly but that’s an option too. They have this designated area in the middle of the city full of venders, so if you’re looking to get a souvenir, find that spot and you’re good to go. Have you ever heard of the Sagrada Familia? It’s that huge church that looks like it’s made out of mud and clay, its just a train ride away from the main city. Up close, the church was beautiful, the architecture is just so unreal. I highly recommend seeing it.

I’ve been to 12 countries and Peru is at the top of the list! I flew to Lima then from Lima to Cuzco. Cuzco is full of so much culture and the people there are so friendly, the market there has tons of fruits, (you know those fruits that you’ve seen pictures of but has never seen in real life? They’re there) they even have those small bananas that have twice the amount of flavor as regular bananas. There is a square in the middle of Cusco called Plaza de Armas that has something going on most of the times, especially at night and if you’re looking for a workout try the stairs leading up to Jesus statue. Next you have Machu Picchu, it is easiest to get to from Cuzco, Machu Picchu is just magical, the ruins, the views the ALPACAS! The hike and the history is well worth it too, plus you get to take that iconic Machu Picchu picture, but here’s the icing on the cake for those who are adventure thrill seekers, there is a mountain behind Machu Picchu called Huayna Picchu (daily spots are limited and you get to sign the record book) , OMG it was the best and most intense hike I’ve ever been on, and the views on the way up to the top is just breath taking, did I mention that you get above the clouds? Then after the hike, I’d recommend heading to the little town called Aguas Calientes to refuel, the town itself is very lively and they have good Peruvian food, they’re lots to see there. (Whenever you go to a market to buy something in Peru, say the word ‘ULTIMO’ because they tend to want to increase the price for foreigners, and that lets them know that you know what you’re doing, try it, it works.)

When I went to Paris it was the beginning on summer so the weather was perfect, once I got into Paris, there were tons to do and see, my first mission was to see the Eiffel Tower which was everything you would imagine. It was a spectacular view, (it lights up in different colors at night) and a great place to have a picnic. For some reason there were guards with machine guns around the tower, but that could be because at that time there were a lot of terrorist activity going on in Europe. You can purchase a ticket to go up the tower, who wouldn’t want to do that? The next stop was Arc de Triomphe, it was just like a giant gateway in the middle of the road. I also went to The Louvre which is home to Mona Lisa and so many other valued art. If you don’t mind walking, seeing all of this while walking is a great way to experience Paris, the art in the streets, the people, see all the fancy cars that you can actually rent for quick drive, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, you name it, it was there. The Paris Eye (ferris wheel) is located between The Louvre and the Arc but is closer to the side of the Louvre. Another thing to do in Paris is to visit the Notre Dame Cagedral, architecture like nowhere else and if you have enough time and money, there is the Sacré Coeur which is another church but it it’s located on the outskirts of Paris on a hill so you are able to see the entire city of Paris! And there was a guy hanging off a pole juggling a soccer ball, crazy! Paris is definitely a place to see and do a lot, I had lots of fun.
