Campania, Italy

destination

Capri

This stunning island off of the coast of Italy is one of my favorites—the views are beautiful with greenery and flowers around every corner. Many of the restaurants offer fresh seafood that is caught daily—I love finding a breezy restaurant and enjoying a glass of white wine while I’m visiting. Capri offers great shopping with many designer stores; they also have little shoe shops where you can go and have custom-made sandals made right in front of you.

Tokyo, Japan

destination

Tokyo

This bustling city has such energetic vibes, it’s impossible to visit and not fall in love with the fast-paced lifestyle. You can get amazing sushi everywhere; one of my favorite places is called ‘Genki’ where you order your food on an iPad and the sushi comes out to you on a sushi train. Tokyo has the best nightlife—you truly cannot go wrong finding a club here, but one of my favorites is ‘V2’.

Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture

destination

Kyoto

You cannot visit Japan without seeing Kyoto; this city is beautiful with amazing architecture and temples everywhere. Wandering the streets with a scoop of matcha ice cream is always fun, and you will never be short of cute shops and restaurants. If you are interested in trying on a traditional kimono for the day, this is the place to do it!

Shanghai, Shanghai

destination

Shanghai

Shanghai offers one of my favorite city skylines, especially at night when the city is lit up. Make sure to check out the roof top bar at the Ritz-Carlton at night and enjoy a cocktail while taking in the ShangHIGH views.

Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh City

destination

Ho Chi Minh City

One of my favorite places in southeast Asia—this city is amazing and if you like Vietnamese food, you will never want to leave. The city itself is so fun to explore, especially by UBER moto—you can literally call a scooter to come pick you up and take you places, it’s the best way to see the sites! Make sure to try a Vespa food tour, it is always a blast and you get to try so many different foods. If you are looking for your dose of history, the War Remnants Museum was such an amazing experience (especially if you are American), to this day it is still the most powerful museum I have ever visited.

Hanoi, Hanoi

destination

Hanoi

One of the most naturally beautiful places I have ever visited is Ha Long Bay in Hanoi, Vietnam. The water, rock formations, caves, and floating markets cannot be beat. My friends and I did a booze cruise on the water here; we were served a traditional Vietnamese meal and it was such a fun way to see the area, I highly recommend.

Old Bagan, Mandalay Region

destination

Old Bagan

This city is such a hidden gem and is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. I took a hot air balloon ride at sunrise that floated over the beautiful Pagoda fields of Myanmar—it was absolutely breathtaking. At the end, we were treated to a glass of champagne and snacks. The pagodas are beautiful and show so much culture and history.

Agra, UP

destination

Agra

Colorful India—what a place to be alive! Agra is where the Taj Mahal is located, and I have to say, the hype is all true. It is truly breathtaking. I had the most amazing Indian food and saw so much amazing culture here. Make sure to get as much henna as you can, and get a sari to wear while you’re at it!

Cape Town, WC

destination

Cape Town

Absolutely breathtaking is an understatement. The beaches, the mountains… everything is amazing. Although difficult, the Table Mountain hike is so rewarding with a stunning ocean view. Camps Bay is a beautiful place to stay, there are amazing Air Bnbs available for fairly cheap. If you have the chance, it is very powerful to visit the townships while you are there also.

Marrakesh, Marrakesh-Safi

destination

Marrakesh

The Atlas Mountains were a great place to take a bike ride, I was able to get in a great workout with wonderful views and see many of the little rural towns outside the main city. The food was delicious and the camel ride in the mountains was a highlight of the trip.

Nevşehir, Turkey

destination

Sakura Tourism & Travel, Cappadocia, TURKEY

One of my absolute favorite places in the world. The natural beauty of this place is unlike any other. Everywhere you go offers sweeping views of rock formations and inactive volcanos. I stayed in a cave hotel built into the mountains while I was here and it was absolute paradise—I highly recommend staying in a cave hotel for accommodation while visiting. Try their traditional alcohol, raki, but be prepared to get very drunk, very quickly!

Monemvasia, Greece

destination

Monemvasia

This little Greek island is built on a mountain and is a stunning hidden gem in Greece. Follow the hike up the mountain to find cute restaurants with adorable restaurants (that all have beautiful views) and little shops with much to offer! I went wandering on this tiny island and found the cutest old man who does wine tastings and appetizers in his family’s old holiday house. It was so fun and such an unexpected moment that I will remember forever!
