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
Stay tuned for LA vlogs!
Hey guys! We road tripped from Dallas to middle of TX to hike Enchanted Rock and later caught the sunset at Mount Bonnell in Austin. Some food stops included Ramen Tatsu-ya, Churro Co Austin, and Buc-ee’s!
FYI to enter the Enchanted Rock Area you need to make a reservation here. We did not have one because my cousins have been a few times already and didn’t need to so it was new to us. Luckily they did a recount and we were able to buy tickets inside their welcome building and get in!
Thanks for watching my video and subscribe for more! Don’t forget to thumbs it up too 🙂 xx Sami
Hey guys, I finally had the chance to attend the State Fair of Texas and created my vlog!
I went with my sister and two cousins and we had so much food!
We tried Fletcher’s Original Corny Dogs, Dole Whips, Pina Coladas, Various Eggrolls, Fried Frito Pie Bites, and last but THE BEST, the Armadillo dessert – the BEST sweet for the State Fair 2021.
We also had the chance to watch some pig races that were pretty entertaining along with the stunt dog show!

Hey guys! I got to explore the Kancamagus Highway (112) in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, one of America’s most scenic byways to view fall foliage around peak times.
Here’s the video:
There are many stops along the 56 mile stretch you can take and I went to a few that sounded/looked good as we drove by.
We were stuck in 3 hours of traffic just going back down the mountains so I made a quick guide in hopes of helping people who come across this avoid the same fate while in these beautiful mountains.
My Mini Guide:
– If you think you’re going early enough go even earlier! Make sure you have a FULL TANK of gas once you’re in the area and pack a meal/snacks just in case you get stuck too.
– Grab the map if you see it! We had no service the entire highway so it literally saved us. Ricky got it from someone in a visitor center rest stop on the way before Loon Mountain.
– If I could redo it I’d start by driving down to the far end toward Rocky Gorge then turn around to make the stops on the way back to Loon Mtn so if you do hit traffic it’s not as bad as later (and you can scope out what stops you’d like to do) *Also, don’t leave at 3PM, that’s how we got stuck just going back down for 3 hours!
– Avoid Pemigewasset Overlook, it’s beautiful but unless you get a roadside spot, the parking lot becomes a 1 lane in/out jam if it’s busy/getting full.
We were basically children in Chicago but it’s fine, that’s how you stay young!
Last year, I flew to Chicago with Theresia, Gabe, and Austin from the moment we left work until very late at night before coming back to work Monday. We did so much in the few days we spent there!
Our airbnb stay was awesome, we went with 3 bedrooms because Ricky was in our original plans to come but something came up. If you’re interested in the newly renovated airbnb close to so many things within Chicago, here it is. *I just became an airbnb associate so we both get some credit towards my future travels if you do book a stay!
Food we ate/things we did:
-TSAOCCA
-Yolk
-Top of the Willis Tower
-Boat Tour Chicago
-Navy Pier (did not feature)
-RAMEN-SAN
-The Bean
-Wndr Museum
-Dim Sum
-Elite Tea
-Museum of Science and Industry Chicago
-Lou Malnati’s Deep Dish Pizza
-Imperial Lamian Soup Dumplings & Hand Pulled Noodles
Stay tuned for more of mine/our adventures!! xx Sam
Hey guys! Right after graduating from University and receiving my degree in computer science, I traveled to London to visit a friend! Ngoc was studying abroad at the time which lined up perfectly for a chance to explore places together.
It was my first time flying alone out of the country and I’m grateful for the polite strangers who helped me navigate along the way!
Here are some pictures from the trip:
Of course we had to go to the Tower Bridge! We also took a day trip to the White Cliffs of Dover which was such a beautiful site and world away from inner London which was only a 2 hour train ride + 1 hour hike away (one way.)
A lot of the pictures are also included in my vlog, London was very instagrammable! Ngoc brought me to some “hidden gems” like God’s Own Junkyard, which was basically this place that collected neon signs & props from movie sets, strip clubs, and places that would have these.
We were literally running around for 8 days straight–can you believe it?! As the grand finale for our adventures, we went to Sketch London for breakfast on the day of my departure. I’d been dreaming of going to Sketch for a few years.
The rooms are just so aesthetically pleasing to the eye and don’t even get me started on the cool INDIVIDUAL POD RESTROOMS. I knew of it before my first trip to London with my university’s entrepreneurial student organization but it’s very hard to convince college students to drop ~$40 for breakfast or ~$75 for high tea just for the experience combined with our limited time to explore!
Check out the video for a better look at the experiences!
