Hey y’all, we tried to find a good hotel that wasn’t in downtown for the LA portion of our trip back in May and decided to go with Hotel MDR Marina Del Rey, a DoubleTree by Hilton! This video includes the hotel lobby tour, breakfast experience, and room tour!
At the time there were no videos on this hotel so I decided to film one myself!
I hope this video helps and don’t forget to subscribe for more xx Sami
Hey guys, we did a day trip to both Sedona and the Grand Canyon in May! Here’s the vlog:
I know it sounds like a lot but it was so worth the experience. We saw Bell Rock and the Chapel of the Holy Cross in Sedona and then many view points around the Grand Canyon (South Rim). It felt like taking a field trip allover again with relearning a lot about Arizona!
Someday I hope to come back to see Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe bend!
Tips:
Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat if necessary!
If you’re going when its still breezy (bring a light/UV sweatshirt)
Here’s one of many things to do in Phoenix, Arizona! The Desert Botanical Garden has so much for people of all ages to see and learn on the trails with different cactus types, a butterfly exhibit, and Chihuly works.
We figured out quickly if we had a favorite cactus type, because all of them are pretty much here!
Tips: – Go early in the morning if you are going during the hot season. We got there at 8am and by 10am it was HOT. – Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat if necessary! – Plan for time, we thought we would spend 1-1.5 hours at the garden but ended up being there for 3 hours because it’s bigger than we thought! – Book your tickets online in advance, some time slots may sell out. The butterfly exhibit only operates in the springtime.
Hey there! Ricky and I stumbled upon this cool new mini golf place that just opened last week thanks to a rainy google search.
There are 12 techy mini golf challenges so it’s like glow golf *but better.* It’s located in the gaming distract in Malden so if you’re a fan of Boda Borg or Level 99, you’ll probably like this mini golf experience!
We spent a weekend in Washington D.C. trying different foods at Union Market and Zaytinya, along with exploring the Smithsonian National Zoo! It was a colder day so we also checked out Union Station to buy another layer.

Hey there! We chased the cherry blossoms during peak bloom @ Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. where they’re hosting the national cherry blossom festival. We also headed to Dumbarton Oaks Gardens in Georgetown to check out their cherry blossoms as well. It was so beautiful this year!

Hey there! Ngoc and I spent 2 days in Amsterdam and we did SO MUCH! From Moco Museum’s Banksy & Andy Warhol to a stroll in Vondelpark, and of course we had to do a canal tour! We also stopped by the Bloemenmarkt (flower market), the Hortus Botanicus, and I made sure to get a stroopwafel!
p.s. this was pre-panini in May 2019, I am 3 years late to editing lol.
Hey y’all, this time we went to Waterville Valley Resort for skiing and snowboarding in the White Mountains, NH. Of course I brought my GoPro Hero 8 out again!! Some of the trails in the video: Oblivion, Chandler’s Way, Bourbon Street, Valley Run, etc.
We visited NYC for a weekend to celebrate Nina’s birthday ft. museum of ice cream, TAO downtown, ICHIRAN ramen in Times Square, DUMBO & Time Out Market Brooklyn. We also tried Bibble & Sip for cute mousse cakes! I hope this gives you ideas for things to do in NYC if you’re visiting soon!
