There are weekends that feel like a reset, and then there are the ones that linger long after you’ve unpacked your bag.
Travel
There are New York trips, and then there are the ones that stay with you a little longer than expected. The ones where everything just clicks, like the energy, the people, the moments you didn’t plan but somehow needed. The kind of trip where you’re already nostalgic for it before you’ve even left.
Some weekends just feel extra special, and this New York trip had that sparkle. My bestie Sharma and I made our way to Highball, perched above the buzz of Times Square, and it instantly felt like the kind of place where memories are made between sips. With our shared love for classic cocktails (especially a good Old Fashioned and a perfectly balanced Cosmopolitan), we were ready for a night that felt both elevated and completely us.
I’ll say it right away: I am not a van life girly. I like a beautiful hotel lobby, fresh sheets, good lighting, and all those nice and comfortable amenities. But occasionally, travel surprises you in the best way, and reminds you that trying something new can be fun… even if it includes figuring out how to function inside a camper van.
Sometimes, even teachers need homework, and this time, the assignment was simple for me: to relax.
Sebastian and I recently had the opportunity to experience the Star Princess, and from the moment we stepped onboard, the ship felt like a polished but welcoming take on modern cruising. There is always something exciting about exploring a new vessel, especially one designed to reflect how travel continues to evolve. The Star Princess feels fresh without losing the timeless appeal that has made Princess Cruises such a recognizable name for decades.
According to the GoQueer website, the LGBTQ travel market is projected to hit a staggering $568 billion by 2030, but the way we spend that money is changing fast.
There are theme park moments you watch from the sidelines, and then there are the ones where you suddenly become part of the celebration.
There’s something magical about staying in a hotel that has truly lived, and the Martinique New York on Broadway, Curio Collection by Hilton has been living large in Manhattan since 1898. I recently checked in while in New York City to experience it and to share my story with all of you, and what I found was not just a comfortable Midtown stay, but a landmark layered with history, elegance, and that unmistakable Broadway energy.
I spent one day of my weekend visiting Universal Orlando Resort, wandering the Yellow Brick Road.
