Hollywood Sign

Taking a hike to the Hollywood Sign was quite possibly the hardest hike I’ve ever done - it takes you straight up to behind the Hollywood Sign. This was a dream of mine since seeing people go behind the sign on TV when I was a kid. To get to the trail, you have to go up into a neighborhood and once you get to the dirt path, just keep going up!

Laguna Beach

Laguna Beach is one of the cutest seaside towns on the California coast. We recommend walking along the main strip which is full of shopping and places to drink along the water.

Wheel of Fortune

One of my friends watches the Wheel game show every night and wanted to audition. She asked me to go with her so I went to give her my support. The open auditions were at the MD state fairground in Timonium, MD. We were in a huge outdoor building that is used for the Festival of Trees during holiday season, and for animal shows at the state fair in the summer.

Fallon

My aunt and I drove through this town on my cross country road trip. On this leg of the trip we went from Zion National Park in Utah to Reno, Nevada. We had a random stop in Fallon, Nevada as we needed some coffee to keep us up through the long drive. We happened on a cute coffee shop called Stone Cabin Coffee that is well worth a post.

Zion National Park

Zion National Park in southwestern Utah has become one of my favorite National Parks in the U.S. In the Park, the main road from east to west goes through a 1.1 mile solid sandstone tunnel that opens up to the most magnificent scene, which is one of my top breath-taking moments. Don’t forget to stop and take pictures! Also, one of the best hikes I have ever done is on Angels’ Landing which is also in this incredible park. I visited here for my first cross-country road trip, and I also explored it multiple times while living in Salt Lake City for three months!

On my cross-country road trip, my aunt and I wanted to see the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park. When planning for it, my friend Ellen told us we HAD to go to Page after seeing the Grand Canyon on our route, and we HAD to see Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. I had never heard of these places, but since visiting, I know I’ve seen these pictures before. This area was a highlight of our trip.

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon was designated as a National Park in 1919. The Colorado River carves out this spectacular geological gorge; from top to bottom, it is about one mile high! You can hike to the bottom in about one to two days. At the bottom is a town that even has a Post Office! There are many things to do at the Grand Canyon; you can even ride a mule to the bottom, or do white water rafting along the Colorado River.

Sedona

"There is something special in Sedona, Arizona," according to my uncle. He experienced a vortex* at the Chapel of the Holy Cross. My first "ohm" picture is where his happened. Although, I think we can all say that Sedona is special; the pictures don't do it justice. I visited Sedona on my cross-country road trip; this leg of the trip was with my aunt, whom I call “Auntie.”

Tombstone

Tombstone is a classic old western town best known for the gunfight at O.K. Corral on October 26, 1881. The movie, Tombstone, depicts the events surrounding this famous gunfight, with legends Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. My cousin and I visited here for a part of my cross-country road trip. This leg of the tour was from Dallas to Phoenix. Tombstone has lots of charm and things to do. I recommend spending one full day here.

Nashville

I visited Nashville on my cross-country road trip. This part of the trip was with my dad. We were so lucky that our cousins live here and showed us around!

Nashville, TN has much to offer in its downtown area, including the Country Music Hall of Fame and the famous Broadway street filled with bars/restaurants and live music. Vanderbilt University is also downtown, across the street from Centennial Park. At this park is an identical building to the Parthenon in Greece. A little farther outside of downtown is Brentwood Tennessee where you can spot Dolly Parton’s house.

My dad and I briefly drove through this town during my cross-country road trip. We went to the Blue Ridge Visitor’s Center and without hesitation they recommended we go to the Roanoke Star. If you stay for more time here than we did, there are some amazing hikes nearby.

Best Places to Live in Baltimore City

Locust Point is great neighborhood for upper 20s - 30 year-olds. It's a more calm, relaxed atmosphere with Latrobe Park for walking around. It is on a peninsula surrounded by water which makes it one of the safest parts of the city. The very end of the peninsula is Fort McHenry, which is another park you can walk or run around.
