Miami


MIAMI☀

 

Every time I think of Miami I start singing Will Smith’s song “Welcome to Miami”.

 

Miami is definitely a good place to vacation if you like to relax, shop, party and the beach.

 
In October 2015, I traveled to Miami, Florida for 4 days.

 

Hotel: Cannot remember but it was in South Beach.

 

Highlights: First off, Miami is great because it is surrounded by water and a warm place. As I live in Canada, it was refreshing to travel down south in the fall to a warm place. We decided to stay in South Beach that way we were closer to the beach, shops and the nightlife.  

 

The people in South Beach were very friendly which was nice and they were always open to assist with directions. If you are looking to shop there were numerous stores and boutiques in South Beach; Lincoln Road, Collins Ave and Washington Ave.

 

The beach was a 7-minute walk from our hotel which was great. Along the beach there are A LOT hotels as well should you want to stay closer. During the time we were there, the beach was calm and the water was cold therefore unfortunately we did not spend much time at the beach as we planned to.

 

For transportation, we walked A LOT which was nice to explore the streets and all that was going on. Otherwise we took taxis and Uber.

 

Places to check out: Bayside Marketplace/Marina Area

Shopping in South Beach

 

The nightlife in South Beach was the best part; Story and IVY nightclubs were really fun! We met a promoter who showed us a few other wicked spots to party as well. LIV is also an amazing club (we heard a lot about it but did not get a  chance to go L next timeeee!)

 

It is a must to check out Fountain Bleau Miami Beach if you can stay there and/or just visit for a day like we did. We spent the day and rented a cabana and it was AMAZING. The pools were spectacular, the services, alcohol and food. 

 

Downtown Miami (Bayside Marketplace) was very nice and felt very much like a tourist area. There was an outdoor shopping mall and a lot of restaurants. It was nice to see all the boats along the marina and we went on a boat tour. The boat tour was short but definitely worth it! It showed all the homes on the water and we learn a little history about Miami, Florida. We also got to see dolphins during the tour! Sooo cool!

If I were to go back to Miami it would be during the Carnival as we heard so much great things about it and had just missed it !!!
Food: I’ll give it a 5/10 as we stuck to American cuisine at local spots and chains.



Big Pink in South Beach was my favorite restaurant.  

 
Pros: The nightlife and the weather.

There was a lot of things to see; art deco, the marina, the beach and amazing views.  

Cons: The water was cold at the beach but I am sure it is not always the case.

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
