Hi!
I'mAngela
A corporate gal on a mission to not let my career get in my way of seeing the world, and vice versa. My career has always been extremely important to me, so I’ve had to get creative with my travels outside my 8-5 job.
Born and raised in sunny San Diego, I ventured off to college in Los Angeles and eventually settled down in beautiful Orange County with my now-husband. My husband and I have been together for 8 years and traveling has become such a huge part of our relationship.
While I have never lived outside of Southern CA, I’ve made it a mission to cross off as many places as I can from my ever-growing bucket list.
I love a good road trip, turndown service, and beach sunset (ideally with a very chilled glass of Albariño).
Ever since I can remember, I've LOVED traveling. I loved the anticipation of a trip, packing, and even being on planes, 30,000 feet up in the air.
I’ve grown to appreciate experiencing new cultures and engaging in conversations with locals/other travelers.
I love luxury travel experiences AND seeking out hidden gems.
I believe you make each trip memorable by splurging on what’s important to you.
Not only do I love traveling, but I love the planning aspect of traveling. I love researching the city I’m headed to and immersing myself in everything before I get there. I love experiencing both the tourist traps (they’re popular for a reason, right?) and lesser known areas. When it comes to my travel style, I find myself embracing the best of both worlds, but always with a touch of comfort and style.
When anyone asks for recommendations on a place they’re headed to, I get (weirdly) excited and absolutely LOVE sharing all my lists of what to do, and most importantly, where to eat. It’s my goal to make the most out of every trip. I’m a planner at heart, meticulously organizing trips to ensure I maximize sightseeing (with plenty of backup options). That being said, I leave plenty of room for a little spontaneity, including local recommendations.
Efficiency and optimization are my love languages,
and I find joy in sharing my passion for travel with others.
That brings me to my blog—my digital journal of travel knowledge. I’ve planned bachelorette parties all over the country, and trips all over the world. My mission is to take the hassle out of planning for you with guides and travel tips that are crafted through first-hand experience + extensive research. I want my blog to be your one-stop destination for travel information—a place where you can find everything you need to know in one place.
Even though I’ve traveled to hundreds of places,
there are a few that top them all...
Charleston
My all-time favorite city. The charm, beautiful beaches, and amazing food of Charleston captivate me with every visit. My family swears I must have lived there in another life.
Italy
My all-time favorite country. If you have ever sipped champagne on a boat along the coast of Italy, you understand. Plus, the Italian countryside, the Venice canals, the history in Rome - need I say more?
Bora Bora
And I can’t forget Bora Bora where my husband and I honeymooned. The best word to describe Bora Bora is... paradise. It’s one of those places that actually looks more beautiful in person.
