Join me, and together, we can eat all around the world 😋
My top trips!
My personal favorites!!!
I’ve been to many places but these 2 hold a special place in my heart because 1) they both were on my bucket list and 2) I spent it with some of my closest friends and it didn’t break our wallets!
Recommendation #1
Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico! 🤩🍾🍹🍸
All-inclusive, anyone?
This was my first all-inclusive trip that I was able to drink on! The weather was perfect in March.
Stayed at the Marival Residence (#1 Resort in North America, also rated as 4 DIAMOND)
My room was so HUGE! Y’all it was bigger than most apartments in the Bay Area.
At least 1000+ sq ft. Had a kitchen, 2 big bathrooms, common and dining room, 1 big master bed, and another bed. The room service was amazing! Also had access to the sister resort.
Highlights of my trip:
-Transportation included
-Hosts were so accommodating. Treated me with a drink as soon as I arrived. Checked me in, and took my luggage to my room.
-Was welcomed with gifts on my bed
-Zip lining with my closest friends and ending the night on a boat back to the resort (we could see all the stars. The best!)
-Our own private cabana was included
-Eating and drinking every hour 😂 That stops until you board your transportation! 🙌🏼 Wine until you can’t!
