LAS VEGAS FOR THE TRAVELING HIPSTER

When you think about Las Vegas, I bet the first things that pop into your mind are the infamous Strip, the casinos, the many entertainment venues with their lights and the World famous pop stars performing live. Althought , Las Vegas is surprisinglly not only this! Have…

GRAND CANYON-1
HOW MANY DAYS ARE NEEDED TO VISIT THE GRAND CANYON?

I was talking with a friend some days ago, she is now planning the trip of a lifetime throught route 66 in USA and wondered how many days are needed to visit the Grand Canyon. Well in my opinion, it depends. It depends on the season, on…

XMAS IN VEGAS

Which is not the title of a new movie, but the first of a serie of Christmas posts with which I’m going to amuse you guys with this December 🙂 Let’s be honest, Vegas among all is maybe the least recommended destination for the holy Christmas celebrations…

FALL IN NEW YORK

Is there a better place than New York during fall? The colors of the leaves in Central Park, the smoke in the streets, the heat of the warm chocolate throught the gloves, the skyscrapers that glitter at sunset in the golden light or that disappear in…

WHAT TO DO IN NEW YORK: SUNSET CRUISE ON THE HUDSON RIVER

New York. One among the most visited destinations on the planet. Needless to list things to do in NYC, there’s so much this city has to offer that you can do whatever comes in your mind. Nonetheless, there’s one thing I really enjoyed and that I’d really like…

TOP 5 DESTINATIONS TO ESCAPE TO THIS FALL/WINTER

As summer is slowly fading away and my Instagram is becoming cozier and more fall shaded, I’m tickled by an incredible wanderlust feeling as always this time of the year. I can’t stop day dreaming about autumn long weekends in the foggy eastern-Europe capitals, trekking in red and yellow landscapes,…

FROM MALIBU TO LAS VEGAS

I feel a bit melanchonic now while writing the last post about our recent trip to the US. As I went through the pictures I recalled those moments, when leaving L.A. we briefly stopped at Malibu for a last glance at the Pacific Ocean and then continued to…

VENICE BEACH: WHERE TO STAY

Why did I write Venice Beach instead of Los Angeles? What I didn’t know about L.A. is that it’s incredibly vast! Not only it’s spread-out, it’s probably the most traffic-busy city I’ve ever seen. With an urban population that exceeds 15 millions people this city is not served…

A DAY IN SANTA MONICA

The first time I saw the Pacific Ocean I was in a cab that took me from Bondi Junction to our hostel in Bondi Beach. I will never forget it. Through the little streets and through the hibiscus flowers, suddenly, there it was. The Pacific Ocean. It felt a…

WHERE TO STAY AT THE GRAND CANYON: BRIGHT ANGEL LODGE

When I first organized our trip to the Grand Canyon, I knew that I wanted to stay somewhere special. I’ve previously spent months browsing all kind of accommodation options at the Grand Canyon, obviously, and when I discovered the Bright Angel Lodge, which features also cabins,…

THE BEST VIEWS OF GRAND CANYON

We first arrived at the Grand Canyon after a 5 hours drive from Las Vegas – my first road trip in US! I had my eyes and heart full, full of the red landscapes of Nevada, full of infinite desert, full of the never-ending grasslands of…

WHAT TO DO IN LAS VEGAS: HORSEBACK RIDING IN RED ROCK CANYON

It stupefied me how wild and exotic nature is just a 20 minutes drive from the lights of Las Vegas! Las Vegas means “The Valleys” and it’s indeed surrounded by rocky hills and canyons. One of the most visited attractions outside Las Vegas is the Red Rock…

WHERE TO EAT IN LAS VEGAS

Even though Las Vegas is situated right in the middle of the Nevada desert, you can still, do, buy and eat whatever comes into mind, from italian gelato to fish as tasted in the greek islands, from noodles to a croque monsieur on the Eiffel…

WHERE TO STAY IN LAS VEGAS: THE COSMOPOLITAN

When we first arrived at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas it was late night after a 5 hours drive from LA. We had been driving in the crazy traffic of LA and in the dark, with no left side mirror (more on that coming) and my…

A BLONDE GUIDE TO LAS VEGAS

January 2014. The first month of this year. The month I decided to start this blog. The month I came back from South West USA with a major post holidays depression. In this last trip I visited some relatives in Las Vegas, drove all the way to Grand Canyon…
