So I know tacos are literally everywhere in Texas, but I have narrowed my list for Austin tacos down to four [pescatarian friendly] favorites.
Shrimp tacos are probably my favorite type of tacos so I’m kind of tough on them and these passed the test. The sauteed kale on top was actually perfect and added a great flavor and texture. Not only does Fresa’s have great tacos and drinks, but they also have some pretty great and unique sides.

After being a cast member [employee] at Disney World and going there at least once every year with my family since I was a kid, I’ve found a few tricks that we always abide by. So I’ve made a list of my favorite Disney hacks to share so we can all make the most of our time and money while still feeling all the magic.
My favorite hack [because you always need water, especially in Florida] is about staying hydrated for free.
In my opinion, everything tastes good at Disney World, but there are a few treats that you definitely shouldn’t skip. Sometimes I even have all of them in one day…
Mickey Ice Cream
This is a must eat treat mostly because it’s delicious, but also because it’s shaped like Mickey’s head and is adorable. Vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate is always a great treat in my book.
Exploring is always fun, but there’s always something new and different to try when you go back somewhere as an older and [hopefully] wiser person. I definitely saw a different side of Denver during this trip than I did when I used to visit my grandparents as a kid.
Eats!
The first thing we did after dropping off our bags was head to Snooze. After people repeatedly recommended this place, I decided it was worth a shot and I’m so glad I did. It was so delicious.
Why should you try all of the breakfast/brunch places in Atlanta to find a great one when I already have? Here are some of my favorites [in no particular order]!
Treehouse
I love this spot. Not only is the food great, but the atmosphere is also so fun. The patio is a great place to eat especially on a nice day. I got huevos rancheros last time I ate here and it was seriously incredible.
Third time’s the charm because this was the longest I’ve stayed in Chi-town and the most I’ve done and seen while there.
Eats!
The first restaurant I enjoyed during this trip was The Southport Grocery and Cafe. Oh my yum. This is a small cafe and grocer and had incredibly delicious brunch. My friend and I split their bread pudding pancake [must try] and I had a summer squash and kale omelette with mashed potatoes. Seriously such a great meal with so many flavors.
I just got back from an amazing 10-day coding retreat in Sayulita, Mexico with The Institute of Code. Institute of Code hosts all-inclusive retreats with the aim to teach students how to code and they definitely succeed in doing so.
There is a method to IOC’s madness because they take care of everything so you can focus on learning. When I say everything, I mean it. We had three meals a day plus lots of snacks and everything was so yummy and healthy.
Meeting my mom in Dallas at the tail end of her work conference definitely had its perks. I was able to be her guest at her last work event before getting our weekend started. We went into AT&T Stadium where the Dallas Cowboys play and were able to eat, drink, and even play on the field a bit.
When you realize you have 5 days off from school and work what should you do?
The answer is look up flights, book something cheap and go from there. Lucky for me, one of my good friends was able to join on this spontaneous trip.

At our hotel, The Flamingo
We landed in Las Vegas around 10pm and stayed at the Flamingo, which is on the strip.
Maui, Maui, Maui. I absolutely love this island and wish I could have stayed longer. After arriving we stopped at Leoda’s for lunch, which was simple and delicious. We also grabbed a couple pies [yum!] because Thanksgiving was the next day. My favorite was the banana cream pie. After settling in at The Ka’anapali Beach Hotel we set of to see a luau at The Royal Lahaina. This was a ton of fun and made for a great first night on Maui.
