Amsterdam is an incredibly unique city with something beautiful to see around every corner. From the canals lined with house boats, flowers, and bikes to the stunning dutch architecture, it truly is a Instagrammer’s dream! This was my second time visiting the city but my first time visiting Amsterdam with my sister. Rocio has always wanted to visit Amsterdam so it was really cool re-discovering the city through her eyes and exploring areas I didn’t get to see on my last trip. We took some really fun shots so I decided to put together an Instagram guide for Amsterdam! In this blog post, I am including Instagrammable places and restaurants.

Earlier this summer Rocio, Indio, and I got to stay in the cutest Getaway cabin near Mt. Adams in Washington! I had seen these cabins all over Instagram and Pinterest so I was really excited to stay in their new Washington campground. It was only about an hour and a half outside of Portland so it was the perfect weekend trip! The campground is full of these amazing modern cabins.

On my recent trip to Europe, my sister and I got to stay at the Jaz in the City hotel in Amsterdam! It’s a hip boutique hotel just outside the city. Rocio and I loved everything about this hotel! Our suite on the top floor had an amazing view and it was absolutely gorgeous. I really loved the music inspired design of our room. Actually, the overall design of the hotel is music inspired!

Instagrammable Places in San Francisco

By Esperanza on August 18, 2019

San Francisco is easily one of the most unique cities in the states with it’s iconic hills, architecture, and colorful buildings. These factors also make San Francisco a very Instagrammable city to visit. There are photo opp’s around every corner! I’ve been to San Francisco four times now, so I have a pretty good grasp on the different areas around San Fran. So I thought I would make a guide with the most Instagrammable areas AND restaurants around the city!

On my recent trip to San Francisco, my blogger friend Tonya (themoptop.com) and I stayed at the Tilden Hotel in downtown. I really loved the chic, mid-century style interiors at the hotel! I felt right at home in the lobby with all of the cozy seating and work areas. The hotel has two restaurants on the main floor, both located off of the lobby, The Douglas Room and the Tilden Cafe (pictured below).

During the summer months, I love to take day trips to the beautiful Mt. Hood area. It’s about an hour drive from Portland so its super quick, but instantly transports you into a Pacific Northwest wonderland. My favorite spot to visit is Trillium Lake. On days where it’s not overcast you can see Mt. Hood in the background! There are several trails to walk or hike in the area too. I went up for the day this past weekend with my sister and our friend for our first hike of the season.

The Best Instagram Spots in Disneyland and California Adventures

By Esperanza on April 20, 2019

My sister and I killed it with the Disneyland content (if I do say so myself!) so I decided to make a guide for the best Instagram spots in Disneyland and California Adventures! We only had one day in Disneyland but we managed to hit all of our favorite rides, stop for Disney themed snacks, and shoot our content like the lady bosses we are. Of course there are a ton of cool photo spots all over the park, but these are the best in my opinion ;)!
