It's so nice to be back home in LA with friends and family.. I've been feeling a little homesick lately with all the traveling so this weekend I decided to take a break from it all and just enjoy the weekend before leaving again.. sometimes it's good to be in your comfort zone..

There's a handful of places that hold a special place in my heart and Menorca is one of them.. the smallest of the Baleric islands and by far the most quiet of them, I find myself going back time and time again.. The islands are known to be major tourist destinations in the summer but for some reason Menorca is far less crowded than the rest.. and I hope it stays that way. It's a place to escape and feel isolated out in the Mediterranean.. where you drive for an hour and only see cows or horses.. no people in sight.. and an island full of diverse terrain and hidden beaches you have to hike too. To me, this place is as close as you get to heaven.
It's so nice to be back home in Barcelona... I can't tell you how much I missed this place after being away for 7 months! My two weeks back have been full of castings and shooting so this past weekend I had a free day and decided to escape up the coast to one of my favorite beach towns in Costa Brava. As much as I love going to the beach in Barcelona, it's not the most relaxing as the sand is a bit dirty and it tends to be packed full of people the months of June and July. So instead I like to make the one hour drive up the coast to Platja d'Aro, where the beaches are a little less packed, and there's so much more to see and do. There are hiking paths all along the coastline that will take you to a variety of hidden coves/beaches, old ruins that still line the water and little beach bars to chill out at and grab sangria or cervezas.. It's no wonder why artists such as Picasso, Klein and Dalà would frequently escape to Costa Brava to find inspiration for their work.. This place is truly magic.

This past weekend, my girlfriend Shelby and I headed to The Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel for a little "staycation time". Sometimes you just need a little break from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles but don't always have enough time to hop on a plane for a quick getaway. So we found this little oasis nestled close to home in Beverly Hills. We we're treated to a weekend of amazing food, morning fitness classes, relaxing massages, an incredible behind the scenes tour of Rodeo Drive and (my favorite part) a rooftop movie underneath the stars...
If you're looking to hit the reset button for a few days then this is your new go-to.. Also if you're visiting from out of town, the Luxe Hotel is the one and only hotel located on the infamous Rodeo Drive. You couldn't ask for a better location in the heart of Beverly Hills.
BIG tank you to The Luxe Rodeo Drive for having us! I'll surely be visiting again soon!
Hi loves, I'm sorry for my absence on the website lately.. I've been busy the past few months working on a project with my sister but now I'm back home in Barcelona and will get back into the swing of things.... ;) Anyways, I wanted to share some photos of my trip to Brazil with you guys.. as most of you know, Brazil has been on the top of my travel list for years and this year for my birthday, I decided I was finally going to make the trek.. even though I only had a week to do so..
The only thing on my agenda this trip was to relax, explore and just enjoy time with friends.. I think it's nice to detach every once in a while from work and social media and just fully enjoy being in a place... Honestly, I can't remember the last time I was able to do so... but I'm just thankful that out of all places, I was able to do so here.
My time was spent between Maresias and Guaruja (where my family lives).. Both places are so beautiful but in entirely different ways... but Maresias is the epitome of heaven on earth. A quiet little beach town, nestled between lush green mountains.. white sand beaches and is somehow rain or shine... you can't help but admire God's work here.. and wonder if maybe He spent just a little extra time on this place... I know I have a few favorite destinations but Maresias has topped them all. My entire experience there holds a special place in my heart that definitely cannot be replaced. I think I'll let the photos speak for themselves... I can't wait to go back and explore more of this beautiful country soon! XO

After 15 hrs of travel, I'm finally back in Spain! The weather is insanely hot but it's beautiful as ever here. And thank goodness for Kate's pool or else we'd be forced to stay inside most of the day! Anyways, I'm so happy to be back in my favorite little city of Girona.
