Favorite snapshots from a charming stay at @hvicharleston hotel in @explorecharleston 🌴🦀 🌊 ☀️

Hey all! I finally went on my first trip of the year earlier this month with my mom to explore more of my favorite region in the U.S.: the Southeast!

Our first stop was the adorable city of Charleston, South Carolina. Our cozy home during our time there was the @hvicharleston hotel. Centrally located downtown across from Waterfront Park, this luxury @aaa_national 4-diamond boutique property features multiple rooms with harbor and park views, valet parking, a personalized daily complimentary breakfast, daily wine and charcuterie reception, a free historic walking tour, and a nightly milk and cookie reception (so cute!).

It’s also within walking distance to many of Charleston’s most popular landmarks including the Pineapple Fountain (1 minute), Rainbow Row (7 minutes), the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon (5 minutes), and the Charleston City Market (9 minutes).

I can’t wait to share more about my stay here as well as all the things I did in and around the city during my 4 days there! Be sure to check out my Charleston stories and highlight badge to see how you can book a stay here on your next Charleston adventure.

Love from Terceira Island ♥️

Tucked away in the middle of the Atlantic, @visitazores is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the world, but close enough to mainland Portugal and the East Coast of the U.S. to make for the perfect getaway.

The second most populated Azorean Island (and the third largest by land area), Terceira boasts epic hiking trails, breathtaking viewpoints, pristine nature, and the Azores’ oldest city, Angra do Heroísmo.

These islands can be reached in less than 5 hours on a direct flight from JFK with @sataazoresairlines_official. Would you visit?

$5 𝙋𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙤𝙜𝙖, 𝙏𝙚𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙚: 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩 2! If I learned anything during my recent trip to @visitchatt, it’s that there’s so much more to the city than meets the eye. It’s home to some of the most popular attractions in the US, sure, but it also boasts plenty of hidden gems and unique local experiences. Add these 5 locations to your Chattanooga itinerary (you won’t regret it!): - Tennessee Aquarium @tennesseeaquarium. Home to more than 12,000 animals representing close to 800 species, it features two sections (Ocean and River) and is one of the largest aquariums in the U.S. - 1885 Grill @1885grillstelmo. This southern coastal restaurant specializes in fresh seafood, high quality steaks, and comforting soul food. Order their wings with Carolina Gold BBQ! - Rock City Gardens @seerockcity. Located on Lookout Mountain, Rock City Gardens features a 4,100-foot Enchanted Trail with incredible rock formations, magical caves, native plant species, waterfalls, and a panoramic view of Seven States! - Massey’s Kitchen @masseyskitchenlookout.

Order the baked feta 🤤 - The Read House Hotel @readhousehotel.

If you’re looking for the perfect end of summer U.S. vacation destination, Chattanooga, Tennessee is it. @visitchatt 🇺🇸

I recently spent a few days exploring this lively town for the first time, and unsurprisingly found so much to love about it. If you’re planning a trip to the U.S. soon — or you live here and want to explore more of your own backyard — you won’t regret putting it on your travel bucket list.

To help you plan, below are 5 things not to miss when in The Scenic City:

📍Ruby Falls (@rubyfallscave) Millions of years old but discovered in 1928, it’s the largest underground waterfall in the U.S., and is located more than 1,120 feet under the surface.
📍Wildflower Tea Shop & Apothecary (@wildflowerteashop) This whimsical vegan-friendly coffee and tea shop stocks a wide variety of loose leaf teas and herbs and other locally made products. I recommend getting the Iced Chocolate Chai with oat milk for a cold treat!
📍Lookout Mountain Incline Railway (@ridetheincline) With a 72.7% grade, it’s one of the steepest passenger railways in the world. The ride is well worth it with stunning views of Lookout Mountain from the top!
📍Frazier Five and Dime (@frazierfiveanddime) Anything you order at this North Shore eatery will be 10/10, but I especially loved the street corn with hot Funyuns and the cheesy cauliflower au gratin 🤤
📍Walnut Street Bridge. With a 1/2-mile span, it’s one of the longest pedestrian bridges in the world and provides amazing view of the riverfront.

Which location would you visit first? Let me know in the comments below, and stay tuned for parts 2 + 3!

Here’s some fun facts about the “The Scenic City”:

✧ MoonPies were invented here! These graham cracker marshmallow sandwiches are covered entirely in melted chocolate and are so delicious.

✧ It’s home to the Incline Railway, one of the steepest passenger railway lines in the world!

✧ Chattanooga boasts one of the largest collections of American art in the country at the Hunter Museum.

✧ One of the world's longest pedestrian bridges can also be found in Chattanooga.

I’ll be sharing more from my time in @visitchatt, and you can also see what I experienced there by clicking on my Chattanooga highlight badge above.

What amenity is most important to you when booking an all-inclusive resort?

There are a few for me, but as a foodie, I want to make sure the property I choose has plenty of amazing restaurants on site!

During my time in Cartagena, Colombia, I was so impressed with the array of food selection at @dreamsresorts @dreamskaribana Cartagena Golf & Spa Resort. With six restaurants, four themed bars, and 24-hour room service, guests can enjoy unlimited local and international cuisines through their all-inclusive Unlimited Luxury experience.

My mom and I enjoyed a luxurious room service breakfast by our swim out pool, ate fresh local fish with coconut rice on the beach, sampled ceviche at an international buffet, and were treated to a five-course Italian meal with an international wine-pairing. It was all such a highlight of our trip!
