California

CALIFORNIA LOOOOOVE! 💜

I have traveled to California four times between 2015-2019 as it is one of my favorite places in the U.S.

I have stayed in Hollywood/Los Angeles twice, San Diego and Orange County.

Hotels: Beverly Laurel Hotel - Hollywood 4 star
Wyndham San Diego Bayside 4 star
Sheraton Grand Los Angeles 4.5 star

I cannot recall the hotel I stayed at in Orange County.

Recommendations: Visit any attraction that California has to offer as it is worth it!
If you are in LA and have the time go online and apply for free tickets to be in the audience of a TV show ! My friends and I went to the Steve Harvey Show and it was incredible!
Visit the following attractions in and around Los Angeles if possible: Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach are nice and LACMA. There is a lot to see along Hollywood BLVD; Hollywood walk of fame, Madame Tussaud’s  Wax Museum, Chinese Theater. A great place to see the Hollywood sign and breathtaking views is Griffith Observatory. There are also people that sell tours along Hollywood Boulevard - I have been on the celebrity tour twice for 15-20$.

San Diego also has a nice tourist area especially along their pier and is a VERY clean city. La Jolla Cove is a must see! Make sure to catch a beautiful sunset anywhere in California!

Food: 7/10 – American cuisine, seafood was good in Orange County and any Mexican cuisine is always a hit!

Pros: WEHO has the best night/evening life in my opinion. 
All the attractions are wonderful.
LYFT  was great, cheap and available within 1 minute. 

Cons: Restaurants (food/alcohol beverages) can be expensive depending on the area. Finding parking can be a nightmare if you have a car!

Money Saving Tips

The  #1  thing people always ask me is how can you afford so many trips ?! 😨 Well definitely you need a source of income to be able to travel but what I always find helpful is using the following tips to save cost before and during my vacations: 1. Booking flights Some people may beg to differ but I find the best time to find the cheapest flights are on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. It is also known that the cheapest days to travel are during the weekdays. I personally use specific websites for booking flights as although they are third party websites, they determine the cheapest flights with most airlines. The top websites I use for flights are: skyscanner.ca or expedia.ca All inclusive vacations: tripcentral.ca or selloffvacations.com (there are walk-in locations across Canada as well). Also, for all of you that live in Toronto or nearby, I follow YYZdeals.ca - sign up for their email alert on cheap flights all around the world. There are always cheap fli

Solo Traveling Tips

Hey Friends! I felt it was so important to make a blog post about solo traveling as so many people have asked me how do I do it! I personally enjoy solo traveling as it gives me the opportunity to explore and move at my own pace. As nice as it is to have company on vacation, I love knowing that I can do what I want, when I want! I just got back from a solo trip to Atlanta and San Francisco and many family/friends/followers have asked me for solo traveling tips which I will share with you all below.  First thing's first, it is soooo important to do your research prior to traveling solo.  If I am traveling somewhere solo for the first time, I do the following: 1.       Research the safest places to travel solo. 2.       Once I choose my destination, I do a thorough online search of areas that may NOT be safe to be during my vacation.  3.       I search for different accommodation options; some people like hostels that way they can meet new

Welcome to Travel Niche Kish 💗

Hey Friends! Welcome to My Blog Travel Niche Kish ! I decided to start a blog to document my travel journey that began 8 years ago to share my memories and ideas with the world. Yes, I have traveled to places prior to 8 years ago, but traveling really became my passion after traveling for a girls trip to Cuba in 2011.  To date, I have had the opportunity to travel to 12 countries and 16 US States solo, with friends and/or with family. Every time my friends or family are planning a trip, they always ask me where they should go, what hotel/resort they should choose and what things can they do/see while on vacation. I must say, I am not an expert on all of the places I have traveled to but I definitely have learned  A LOT  in every place. I have always been encouraged by my friends and family to share my experiences, photos and ideas - therefore I have decided to create a blog doing just that :) In my blog, I will be sharing my past travel locations, hotels/resorts, attraction
